An 1847 Brooklyn Township (Cuyahoga County, Ohio) deed lists Denison and Harriet R. Foster as sellers of property in Lot 56 to Albert Foster. This is an area along what is now Denison Avenue, in Cleveland, between W.25th and Fulton Ave. The property was bounded by Mill Street and Wood Street. The modern equivalents for Mill Street would be West 31st St. and for Wood Street would be Bradwell Ave.

Don Stormo's Burlingame Ancestors (http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=plstormo&id=I6527)
Lists Denison Foster marrying Lavina Robinson in 1834, but she doesn't die until 1849, so how does Denison marry Harriet in 1841? Either there were two Denison's in Ohio or this one does, in fact, marry these two women.

In the "History of Livingston County" (See Heritage Quest historical books), there is mention of a Denison Foster who was a town clerk in 1800 when the town was first laid out. He is again mentioned as running a tavern (though it seemed that he did not own the building) in 1807.

OCCUPATION: Carpenter

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.

Information from Jean Reid, 106 Beal's Court, Tama, Iowa 52339
Benjamin-7 Babcock was born, probably at Stonington, Connecticut. Heis buried in the Babcock Family Cemetery on Babcock Hill. They resided atBridgewater, Suquehanna Co., Pennsylvania, until 1818, when they removedto what is now known as Babcock Hill.
Benjamin Babcock (2nd) settled on a tract of land, consisting ofseveral hundred acres (believed 640) on Babcock Hill. This was virginforest land at the time, 1818, covered with a heavy growth of pine,hemlock, and other trees. With the aid of his sons, Benjamin cleared thisland, or portions thereof, building a house and barn of logs. He laterconstructed a primitave saw mill, located on the creek at the foot ofBabcock Hill toward the village of Cadis. Water power was used to operatean old-fashioned "beam" saw, by means of which the heavy trees werefashioned into sills, joists, planking, and boards for the constructionof new and better buildings. The old Babcock homestead and at least oneof the old barns, constructed of timber of this primitive mill, are stillstanding.
Upon the death of Benjamin Babcock the land was apportioned amonghis children. William Dennison Babcock, the oldest son received a grantof land consisting of over 200 acres, located about one half mile northof the homestead farm. The latter, consisting of 306 acres, was left tothe other children who had remained at the home. Harriet N. Babcock hadmarried Alexander LaDow and had removed to Ohio. Hellen M. Babcock diedin 1843, while Caroline Joshan Babcock and Joanah Babcock died young. Sothe homestead farm was left to John Bannister Gibson Babcock (1st),Valeria Ann Babcock, and Andrew Jackson Babcock. The Babcock familyburying ground is the only portion of the original estate in which thetitle still remains in the Babcock family as a whole. The old estate andburying ground are located about 10 miles south of Owego, New York, andabout 1.5 miles north of Windham, Pennsylvania.
