His grave marker labels him Acel Foster; he is also known as Asael (and perhaps as Asa). http://oxfordcounty.blogspot.com/2006/01/denmark-oxford-county-maine.html reports Asahel had 2000 acres reserved for him in Denmark, Oxford Co., ME (then in MA) in 1795 - " Asahel Foster's grant was conveyed June 8, 1795, and abutted Bridgton [Massachusetts Deeds, 5:61]." Also see "Sprague's Journal of Maine History, Vol. 2, No. 1," (Dover, ME: John Francis Sprague), p. 20, and "The Maine Historical Magazine, Vol. 9," (Bangor: Chas. H. Glass & Co., 1895), p. 50. Asahel Foster is on the tax list in Bridgton in 1781. "The Bridgton Town Register, 1905," Harry E. Mitchell, et al., comp. (Brunswick, Me., 1904), pp. 8-9, 12, list Asael Foster as an inhabitant of Bridgton in 1794. Asahel and Joanna were the first settlers in Sandy Creek, later moving to the Fosterville section of South Bridgton, Maine, where they lived on what was later the Frank Johnson place. The 1790 federal census in Bridgton lists four males over age 16 in Asahel's family, three males under 16 and four females. At one time Asahel was hog reeve in Bridgton. Harvard University has letters from Asahel and others to the then college concerning use of the college lands in Bridgton, which was granted by Harvard ca. 1780 - see http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hua28010. See also - "Early settlers of Harrison, Maine : with an historical sketch of the settlement, progress and present condition of the town," G. T. Ridlon (Skowhegan, ME: Kilby & Woodbury, 1877), pp. 59ff.
See Foster genealogy," Frederick Clifton Pierce (Chicago: Press of W.B. Conkey Co., 1899) p. 171: "Asahel Foster (Gideon, Benjamin, Abraham, Reginald), b. Danvers, Mass., July 16, 1749; m. Joanna Symonds, b. Mar. 21, 1748."
The Fosters are of English derivation and came to Massachusetts about 1640. They were intermarried with the Peabodys and Perleys previous to the coming of those families to America and while residents in Massachusetts; as well as since their settlement in Maine. Asael Foster came from Danvers in the year 1772, and first settled at a place in Bridgton, since known as "Hensborough," lot No. 4, range 19. He built the first frame house in Bridgton, and his wife was the first married woman that settled in that town. Mr. Foster died in Feb., 1820 "from the kick of a horse," aged 71 years, having had issue; eleven children. --[Hist. Harrison, Me.] "He d. Feb., 1820. Res., Bridgton and Harrison, Me."
The NSSAR Patriot list offers his service: "Revolutionary War Graves Register. Clovis H. Brakebill, compiler. 672pp. SAR. 1993. Also SAR Revolutionary War Graves Register CD. Progeny Publishing Co: Buffalo, NY. 1998. Circuit Co. History." Asahel is listed as a Revolutionary War solider buried in Bridgton, Maine in "Sprague's Journal of Maine History, Vol. 6, No. 2" (op. cit.), p. 71. ""Bridgton Maine-1768 - 1968," (the Bridgton Historical Society) offers: "Asael Foster was one of these earlier pioneers. In 1772 he settled first in Hensborough, so-called, - later Pinhook and now Sandy Creek. He and Enoch Perley compete in the records for the honor of building the first frame house in the area. He and his descendants were later to play an important part in South Bridgton's history. Asael Foster's wife was the first married woman to come to Bridgton; they had 11 children. As this is the only point at which Asael is mentioned, it is here the story of Asael and the Bear must be added: it is one of the more enduring, and endearing, legends of the area. On the night in question, Asael had gone over to Denmark to see his lady-love and on his return he ran across a bear. Enraged at the intrusion, the bear attacked Foster who promptly climbed a tree. The bear as promptly climbed up after him, high enough to nibble at his heels. Foster kicked at him until the bear fell to the ground. The victim thought his danger might then be over, but the bear scrambled up again and renewed his attack. Between the struggles of man and beast, the tree finally broke and both fell to the ground. Fortunately Foster landed on top and in a nimble burst of speed, he outdistanced the bear in flight. In his terror he forgot his injuries until he had to cross a field of rye stubble, which served as a cruel reminder. Both heels were badly mangled from the fracas, and Asael carried the scars to his grave. (History of Cumberland County, pg 219 relates that this experience happened to Asael's son, Capt Amos P Foster, who was visiting Miss Annie Knight in Denmark)" Sprague's "Journal of Maine History, Vol. 6, No. 2", p. 71, lists him among Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Brighton, Maine.
The "Resolves of the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts..." (Boston: Russell & Gardner for Benjamin Russell, Printer to the State, 1819), p. 160, lists the 9 June 1795 resolve conveying 2000 acres to Asahel Foster in Oxford Co. between Bridgton and Brownfield. "Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 21, containing the Baxter Manuscripts," ed. by James Phinney Baxter (Portland: Fred L. Tower Co., 1916), p. 332, lists Asahel Foster assessed at Bridgton for a New Emission Tax, , 17.3.10. Cf. "History of Brownfield, Maine," William Teg (Brownfield: Carbrook Press, 1966), p. 12 (Brownfield and Bridgton adjoined).
"Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 16...," James Phinney Baxter, Ed. (Portland, ME: Lefavor-Tower Co., 1910), p. 197 lists Asa Foster in Feb 1774 among those who have suffered, and pp. 224-225 lists Asa Foster among those petitioning for a grant of a township east of the Saco River "in compensation for the loss of Suncook on the River Merrimack" - Bridgton, Maine is slightly east of the Saco River in Maine.
"Foster Pond, located in South Bridgton was named after the Foster family who set up saw and grist mills on the outlet in the early 1800s." - http://mainelakes.org/?p=436; cf. https://maine.gov/ifw/fishing/lakesurvey_maps/cumberland/ingalls_pond.pdf
In June, 1790 "Squire" Pierce was tried in Portland for murder, and one of his two sureties was Asahel Foster - Pierce was the first settler of Otisfield, adjacent to Bridgton. - see http://web.colby.edu/specialcollections/2010/12/21/lt463-readonly
An Asa Foster served during the War for Independence from NH - his pension record is in the "National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Dec. 1936", p. 109 - also pension file S22243.
