Many old New York families are included: Cornell, Heath, Hillman, Kenyon, Roberson, Rogers Tanner, Tefft, Willett, and many more. While it is true that famous people make history books, it is ordinary people who make history. And so it is with the Foster family. As the nation's lifestyle changed, so did theirs. They began as farmers, then went into more commercial pursuits. They moved westward into new and often uncharted territories. Each of them had their own unique story and contributed in their own way.
