• Notes

  !NOTES:Geneanet Tree has her death date as 18 Jun 1863 in Grundy, MO. Is there any evidence for this? !NOTES:D/C of son Edward lists parents as Henry Foster b Onslow Co, NC Dorcas Huffman b Onslow Co, NC; !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.
