FOSTER FAMILY HISTORY
(Jerry's branches)


The roots of this family tree had it's beginning with Jerry,* Hardy and Cowdy, who came to Alabama from South Carolina and Virginia. Two brothers, whose last name were Foster, brought them to Alabama and purchased property from the Black Warrior River to Ralph, Alabama.

They sought better economic conditions. Their lot was hard, but with deep convictions, hard work and trust in the Almighty God, they had a sense of hope that one day their labor would be rewarded. As a result of this hope, this land that was purchased became known as FOSTERS, AL. It was here that they lived together happily and their children lived to get married, worked hard and had families of their own. This tradition is still evident with descendents still living in the area.

God has been gracious and merciful to this Foster Family, because he has given us strength, will, courage and desire to keep the closeness of the family bonded through Family Reunions. We pray that this love will sustain us in our endeavors to continue this memorable occasion.

This overview will provide six (6) generations of the Foster roots, as provided by Ora Mae Foster French, on April 22, 2007. Thus, our beginnings.
