William Foster - The 550 acre plat surveyed for William Foster is found in Plat Book A, page 26. The warrant for the survey, dated September 4, 1783, was issued by a Land Court in Wilkes County, presided over by William Downs Esq., Senior Justice. The survey was executed on October 4, 1783 by James McFarland D.S. The plat for Foster is unique for its size, extending almost two miles due north from the banks of Little River. On the east side the neighbors are shown as John Jones and Edward Blake, on the south it is bounded by Little River, and on the southwest it is bounded by Beaverdam Creek and Absalom Bedell. Beaverdam Creek runs enters Foster’s plat flowing northwest to south east above Bedell only to emerge shortly thereafter flowing due south and forming the western boundary between Bedell and Foster. Bedell would eventually buy the entire southern half of Foster’s plat.
