!NOTES:I have no direct proof that Henry Foster's wife Darcus Huffman is the same person as widow Darcus Watson from 1830 census. However, they were next door neighbors in 1830, and I do have DNA matches with several of Henry & Darcus's descendants, so there is a connection, and her (Huffman) being the same person as widow Darcus Watson would explain it perfectly.
* If anyone has a marriage record for Henry Foster & Dorcas, please let me know. If my theory is correct, they married ca 1830/1831. If they married earlier than 1830, my theory falls apart. Marty 9/1/2020;
