• Notes

  Among the early settlers of what is now New England were the family of Reginald Foster from Devonshire, England. Four generations later, Ezekiel and Mary (Fogg) Foster were the parents of at least five sons and a daughter, Sarah. Sarah was known in the family as Sally. She married William Sr. and thus became the maternal ancestor of the Sipprell family. From their original settlement in Ipswich, Massachusetts the Fosters spread along the eastern coast and eventually, mid eighteenth century, reached Scarboro, Maine and later at the mouth of the Machias River. After the outbreak of the Revolution, the Fosters were actively in support of those in the Thirteen Colonies. Within a year, the British compelled allegiance. Ezekiel and a number of Fosters from Maine were Pre-Loyalists in the Machias River area. They had appealed to both Nova Scotia and Massachusetts for a township grant. Boston granted the request in 1770. Following the American Revolution many had their land taken by Loyalists. On file at Fredericton is a petition dated 8 August 1789 endorsing "Ezekiel Foster and his three sons ask for lots No. 19, 20, 21, 22 SE side of the Oromocto Welch's Survey. The lots formerly registered but unimproved". They were granted the New Brunswick land. By August 1789 Ezekiel Foster and family had arrived.
