Phil Foster emailed the LCGS yesterday and hoping someone could help him.
Hi,
I was wondering if there was any info on the Foster’s of Lanark/ Middleville/ Tatlock/ Drummond? I know some still live in Middleville. John and Catherine are buried at St.Pauls Anglican, but last time I was there their marker was gone …any info or pics of family would be pretty cool.
They came to Lanark in around 1819 and settled on Lot 12 Concession 7 or the other way around. John’s and Catherine where the Patriarch and Matriarch or the family…this may help.
Thanks again
I found this on ancestry.ca
