He married Lyerly's towns founder's daughter Sarah McLeod Foster. She was the 
second daughter of Angus Mcleod.

Info on Alfred Foster- Chattooga Co, GA

This is Sally Mcleod Foster (below in census)wife of Alfred Foster. According 
to the Newspaper, in 1891 the finished their handsome residence on Foster's 
St. In 1896, he died. I don't know what of. He was a young man of 36 yrs and 
had a family. In 1882 , the Foster family purchased Land Lot 109. On this lot 
there was a Mill, Tanyard, Store & Dwelling. There was also Mill on 
Mostseller Creek. I did find that in Bob Baker's Book. In 1875, Robert Foster 
was borrowing money for the purpose of a Mill & Gin and in 1877 he and his 
family sold their portion of this to K R Foster- water rights and instructed 
K R Foster to leave the races as they were. This land lot was 110. So there 
must have been more than we think on these land lots during the 1875-1891 
time frame. The census below is Sarah Mcleod Foster daughter of town founder 
Angus Mcleod after the death of her husband.
