Reginald Foster, Judith Wignol Foster and Sarah (White) Martin Foster:
Reginald Foster is the "Lionel Chewte" of the Foster family - the first immigrant from which many United States Fosters claim descent. According to William Edward Chute: "Reginald Foster, b. about 1595; is reported to have come from Exeter, Devon, England with his wife Judith, 5 sons and 2 daughters, and settled in Ipswich, Essex County, Massachusetts, 1638. He lived near the "East Bridge", which stood where the stone bridge is now."
"Frederick Clifton Pierce of Chicago, in his genealogy of the American Fosters, states that Reginald Foster was born in Brunton (others say Exeter), England about 1595, and was a descendant of an ancient and respectable family of that section, which was identified with those families in the northern counties of England, which were known by the name of Forster, and had distinguished themselves in their successful achievements against the Scottish foes, and are mentioned in the "Lay of the Last Minstrel" and "Marmion."

There is some discrepancy regarding the number of wives Reginald had: the birthdate of eldest daughter Mary (1618) would suggest a first wife (name unknown) who preceded Judith Wignol whom he married in Great Britain on 28 SEP 1619. Savage, in his coverage of Reginald Foster speculated that the last three Foster children, born to Sarah (White) Martin, may have actually been the children of Reginald's youngest son, also named Reginald, but then discounted his own theory. This is a puzzle we'll leave to the Fosters to solve.
