    Richard Foster was a son of Rev. Thomas Foster (will 1628)

    Rev. Thomas Foster of Ipswich, Suffolk, made his will on 22 Sept 1638, and his son Richard, an Ipswich shipmaster, was alive in 1639 (Lechford). Patience Bigg's husband was Richard Foster of Biddenden, dead by May 1630, whom Bisbee's Foster genealogy (1956) makes a son of Thomas Foster of Biddenden.
