Surname Saturday -- LNU (Elizabeth, married Thomas Foster, England to colonial Massachusetts)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2381 who is Elizabeth LNU (1618-1695). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this LNU family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)

8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)

18.  Edward Hildreth (1831-1899)
19.  Sophia Newton (1834-1923)

36.  Zachariah Hildreth (1783-1857)
37.  Hannah Sawtell (1789-1857)

74.  Josiah Sawtell (1768-1847)
75.  Hannah Smith (1768-1827)

148.  Ephraim Sawtell (1735-1800)
149.  Abigail Stone (1737-1800)

296.  Hezekiah Sawtell (1703-1779)
297.  Joanna Wilson (1702-1786)

594.  John Wilson (1673-1717)
595.  Elizabeth Foster (1673-1742)

1190.  Joseph Foster (1650-1721)

1191.  Alice Gorton (1652-1712)

2380.  Thomas Foster, born About 1600 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England; died 20 April 1682 in Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 4760. Thomas Foster and 4761. Abigail Wimes.  He married 1638 in Braintree, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.
2381.  Elizabeth LNU, born about 1618 in England; died 29 January 1694/5 in Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of Thomas Foster and Elizabeth LNU are:
*  Thomas Foster (1640-1679), married 1662 Sarah Parker (1640-1718).
*  John Foster (1642-1732), married (1) 1661 Mary Chillingsworth (1642-1702),; (2) 1702 Saqrah Thomas (1646-1731).
*  Increase Foster (1644-????).
* Experience Foster (1644-????), married 1663 Joseph French (1640-????).
*  Elizabeth Foster (1646-1726), married 1667 James Frost (1640-1711).
*  Hopestill Foster (1648-1679), married 1670 Elizabeth Pierce (1636-????).
Joseph Foster (1650-1721), married (1) 1672 Alice Gorton (1652-1712); (2) 1714 Margaret Brown (1654-1717); (3) after 1717 Rebecca Parker (1661-1754).

Some sources indicate that Elizabeth LNU's maiden name was Whitmore, but I have found no records that provide this name.

Information about the Foster family was obtained from:
*  Frederick Clifton Pierce, Foster Genealogy (Chicago : W.B. Conkey Company, 1899).


*  Rev. Lucius R. Paige, "Family of Thomas Foster," New England Historic and Genealogical Register, Volume 26, number 4 (October 1872), page 394.

I have done no original research on this Foster line.
