    Notes:

    "Seedlings Of William Foster" by Flavius Foster pg. 9-10, 18-19

    "Enoch, 11th child of Isaac & Sarah Foster, was born in Prince William Co., Virginia, and went with his parents to Monroe Co., W. Va. Here, he met and married Margaret, daughter of John and Jane Wallace. Enoch and Margaret went to Nicholas County with his father, but soon returned to Monroe County, where they bought 200 acres of land. A short time later, they sold this land and joined John and Jane Wallace in the trek to Anderson Co., Tennessee.

    Their son Samuel and possibly another child was born in West Virginia. The rest were born in Anderson Co., Tenn. Both Enoch and Margaret Foster were on the 1850 census of Anderson County, but Enoch's Will was probated by his son, William Enoch, July 31, 1850 (Estate sale, not Will,) Margaret's death date is not known.

    Thanks to Morris Foster, Pine Village, Indiana, most of the confusion surrounding the marriages of members of Enoch & Margaret (Wallace) Foster's families has been cleared up. Due to Enoch and his eldest sons siring children during the same period, and using the same given names, past recorders have listed marriages to sons of Enoch that belong to his grandsons.

    Thanks to Morris Foster, his cousin, Betty Bratt, Lynnfield, Mass., and a third "cousin," Wm. Longmire, Spring Hope, N.C., most of this material is being recorded here. By kindly letting me cannibalize their myriads of material, along with my own research, the families of Enoch & Margaret Foster are pretty well represented here.

    Since we have birthdates of so few members of the below family, it is doubtful that they are in proper sequence." Note from Adrienne: Additional birthdates on children from One World Tree, ancestry.com

Joseph Jr lived in Amelia County VA until sometime before 1785 when he moved to Pittsylvania County Virginia. He was a surveyor who, with his son Joel, was part owner of Motley/Mottley and Baldwin Surveyors Co.



    The family of Joseph Motley of Amelia County married into the Tanner, Vaughan, and Fowlkes families. In 1737 Joseph bought 400 acres on Little Creek of Flat Creek from Matthew Mayes. His wife was Elizabeth Forrest, the daughter of Abraham Forrest and Judith his wife.

On 25 June 1747, Joseph renewed his 1,083-acre patent and acquired 300 more acres that belonged to Thomas Tanner in 1742. Motley's land was partly in Nottoway County when they created it and the ancestral home fell just south of the county line. The Motley family occupied the home from 1737 until 1908.
    Joseph and Elizabeth were the parents of the ten children. Joseph died in Amelia County (will dated 2 Nov. 1763, recorded 27 Aug. 1777) as did his wife.
