Source: Copiah County Loose Probate Records
Written: June 24, 1833
Recorded: June 24, 1833

1. This document was found among the Copiah County loose probate records. It is
badly damaged. It is dated 1833, so it can't be referring to the Moses Foster
who wrote his will in Copiah county in 1857 and died in 1860. Because it
identifies this Moses Foster as 'sen' I feel it must be referring to the Moses
Foster who married Otemasa, the Choctaw woman. This is also good evidence that
he was the father of the Moses Foster from Maryland who died in Copiah county in
1860. This raises the likelihood that Moses Foster senior was married before he
married Otemasa, probably in Maryland. If so, he must have had white as well as
mixed-blood children.
