In 1850 census, there is a Joanna Williams living in the next household and Leonard Pixley living with her. Almira's uncle's wife? Not sure who this is, but it seems it could be a relative. Leonard is Ebenezer Foster's nephew, son of his sister, Sally.

Notes:
Foster/Forester : In the English Middle Ages, the forests and woods were almost always owned or controlled by the lord of the manor -- but people had no reservations about sneaking in and taking firewood, game, or whatever else they might require. To keep the poaching to a minimum, the lord retained a man to watch the forest -- often called a Forester, and sometimes called a Foster. The name stuck as an English Occupation surname when they became adopted.
Abigail and Michael had ELEVEN children when they arrived in Brooklyn, Ohio.
It was the convention of the times to use the mother's maiden name as the middle name for a child. With that in mind, Michael B. Foster was probably named Michael Billings Foster.

NOTE:
Brooklyn history, as noted in Abigail Fish Foster's notes, states that the family left Groton for Ohio in 1826. If that is the case, how then could Michael's gravestone show an internment date of 1824? My guess would be that the history is in error.
