18. SALLY9 BRASWELL (JESSE8, MISSING7, JACOB6 BRACEWELL, RICHARD5, ROBERT4, RICHARD3, ROBERT2, EDMUND1) was born February 24, 1774, and died December 23, 1851 in Brunswick County, Va.. She married JOHN HEROD FOSTER January 25, 1798, son of RANSOME FOSTER and ELIZABETH COMAN. He was born April 24, 1773 in Brunswick County, Va., and died September 28, 1850 in Brunswick County, Va..

Notes for JOHN HEROD FOSTER:
From Website at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~westxan/np63.htm#iin5281

Many sources list his middle name as Harwood, however I have faith in the research of Ray Sasser, listed below giving the name as Herod.
Some sources: LDS and Nancy Foster.
On his father's death, as eldest son, he inherited the estate and remained there until his
death. He was first married to Sela Lightfoot in 1795 and had one daughter, Nancy Harwood, before marrying Sally Braswell.
-
From Ray Sasser: "John Foster's middle name was "Herod," and he seems to have been known to family and friends simply by that name-"Herod"-and not by the name John, though official documents usually use "John." There are other people in Brunswick, not necessarily related to Braswells, with middle names of "Herod." Why it was popular, I don't know. If the name derives originally from a family named "Harwood," this would not surprise me, but by the nineteenth century in Brunswick County, the given name was always "Harod."
Another interesting name in Brunswick County that modern researchers like to alter to fit modern ideas was the middle name of "Hutson"; people like to change it to "Hudson." That name also pops up in the Braswell family tree."
