father scanned and annotated most of these files from daguerreotypes,
many of which were in one or more family bibles. He made the Genalogical Chart posted here. |

George Foster family - c. 1887 | Photo
courtesy of Rob Adams - a long-lost cousin with a wealth of information.
Rob writes "The family group is my grandfather Foster (age 5) and
his parents, Rollin Mallory Adams and Louella Mullins Adams. This pic was taken ca. 1887 or 1888. Both of Foster's parents died young (Rollin in 1891, when he was in his 30th year). My grandfather lived for a considerable period --between age 8 and 18-- in Clinton with George Foster and Amanda, and it was through him that these pics came to me. The pics of Amanda and George Foster were probably taken at the same time, ca. 1897 or 1898, shortly before George Foster's death (in 1899)."

George, Amanda, Rollin, and Henry Adams. Rob writes "You will
notice the family setting photo of 4 people has GF and Amanda on the
top and their only two children "Neither in the 1870 census nor in the 1880 census does the family
ever list having a son named George Foster, between the ages of |

| GF and Amanda Isaviah Adams. Louis got it wrong. See Rob's comments | George
carried the photo of Amanda with him the entire time he served in the
CSA. Rob writes "The photos you have labelled as George Foster (paired
with Amanda) are probably not correct for either of them, but I'm far more certain about the chunky middle-aged dude labeled as GF than I am about the youngish woman labelled as Amanda (in the paired frame). If I had to guess, I wd. bet that the woman in this pair is GF's sister, Elizabeth, and that the man is her husband, Abner Perkins. My parents knew the Perkins' youngest daughter,who was born in 1883 but was still living, in Georgia, in 1970. |

Amanda Isaviah Walton Adams | Amanda's strange middle name derives from her own maternal grandmother (who was still living-- with Amanda's mother, Matilda Walton--when the 1880 census was taken). Her name was Isaviah ALLISTON, and she was born in 1797! |

Rob Adams writes "As for the idea that GF and Amanda had 6 children,
and that one of |
|
| Robert Sloan Adams | From
Amanda Isaviah's Bound Photo Album. Rob writes "(1) the handsome
60ish gentleman in the nice suit cannot be Robert Sloan Adams. He died
in 1849 at the age of 31 (a few of the amateur websites report his having
been born in 1812, but his headstone near Talbotton says 1818). My wife,
however, says the gentleman in this photo definitely looks like an Adams.
If he is an Adams family member, the likelihood is that he is either George
Foster's great-uncle (Phillip, who died in 1856) or his uncle John (who
died in 1891). I have asked a person here who teaches fashion history
to look at the "Robert Sloan" photo, and she thinks it's unlikely
to date from earlier than 1880, but I'm not sure. " |
