Reginald Foster is discussed by the late Walter Goodwin Davis in his _The
Ancestry of Dudley Spears_, his chapter on Renold [not Reginald[ Foster being
reprinted in _Massachusetts and Maine Families in the Ancestry of Walter
Goodwin Davis_ 1:569-75 (GPC, Baltimore, 1996). The royal ancestry given this
emigrant by Frederick C. Pierce is garbage. His marriage, parents and paternal
grandparents are known; they lived in the parish of Harlow, co. Essex, where
the registers do not survive before 1755, but where there is some help from
probates. But there is no known royal ancestry for him and none likely to be
developed. I have been working this past week on this problem for a client and
may publish a note on it if the client gives permission, since I have found
additional evidence to confirm Davis's solution.
