| Foster, AKA Kissing Kin |
Stephen Collins FOSTER's birthday was just a couple of days ago, while we were all shooting fireworks and saying Happy Birthday to America.
What can I say?
Edward BUCHANAN married Eliza FOSTER.
Eliza was sister of Stephen Collins FOSTER(1826-1864).
Edward was brother of Harriet BUCHANAN(1802-1840) who married Robert HENRY(1801-1838).
Robert's dear old dad was my 4g grandfather.
Oh, and did I mention? Edward BUCHANAN and Harriet BUCHANAN HENRY's brother, James, was also the 15th President of the United States?
Ahh genealogy, Kissing kin around the old folks place around Pittsburgh. It had to be a great time.
