Hi Larry,
Thanks for the info, and definately not the same Foster/Sharp family.
I had investigated the whole area of Stephen Collins Foster family, its many branches and the southern (ie Rufus Harrison Foster era) family connection. These are known to be descended from Alexander Foster of Ireland. Well documented at this point. Stephen Collins Foster descends from Alexander' son James Foster and Ann Barclay, the southern branch descends from 2nd son John Foster and Martha Donnell, and from 3rd son Rev Wm and Hannah Blair, also has Pennsylvania family-- from whom we thought we were descended from.
As I am taking a wild guess in that you are aware of the other Foster including Archilles (who married Jane Blackstock)masses of info of his ancestors --most likely from England --and co branches.
My info on the known Joel M Foster, is somewhat more complete than the regular and oft repeated "died about 1860"
Anyway, this is a Sharp Family page...but it definately adds to my mystery !!! I believe I have seen your name on the Foster page as well...where this may continue !
Cheers and thanks again - and I will follow up on the Cottin Mill/Carnegie affair, just for my own fun.
Jeff
