foster

in his will include two rapiers-one
old, and one new. as he carefully
records-one Coreslet. one beaver OF
iron and one pike.
The name Foster has two possible
dsrivations. 1t may come from
forester and if so signifies a forester
"A man who cared for the forests,
perhaps. or perhaps one who hunted
in them or lived in them. 1t may
also come from an obsolete word
fosterer. which signihed one who fed
and cared for children in place OF
their parents.
This word is used in some very
ancient English state documents. In
the laws of Ina king Of Wessex
there is this statement: When a
gesithcundman left his land. he was
at liberty to take away his Reeve, his
Smith and his chiIds Fosterer."
The Foster arms are described: Ar

buglehorns sable stringed of the sec
ond. The cresy is an arm endowed
