Reginald owned land on Plum and Hog Islands per his will proved 09 June 1681, included in recitation of his estate inventory in "Foster Genealogy" (1899), pp. 115-18. He came to America with his wife, Judith, and seven children (p. 15). Philip Howard Gray, "Penobscot Pioneers" (Camden: Penobscot Press, 1994), p. 37, discusses his identity and states Reginald was probably born in Harlow, co. Essex, perhaps [!] son of Reynold Foster and grandson of John Foster. Reginald was a husbandman in Ipswich, MA from 1638. "Magna Charta, Part VIII," John S. Wurts (Philadelphia, PA: Brookfield Pub. Co.), p. 2628, states that Thomas Forster and Elizabeth Carr are "assumed to be the parents of Reginald...." Cf. "Americana - American Historical Magazine, Vol.14," (New York, NY: The American Historical Society, 1920), p. 402.
An e-mail message from John Sanders [sand@bayview.romgroup.co.uk] 16 January 1998: "I am relieved to know that there are doubts on your side of the Pond about the identification of Reginald Forster m. Judith Wignol of Theydon Garnon with Reginald s/o Thomas F of Brunton and Elizabeth Carr. There are some problems in your data though. Leaving aside the question about which daughter of William Carr and Ursula Brandling married Thomas Forster of Brunton, Elizabeth was still unnmarried when her father died. In M.M. Meikle: 'Northumberland divided: Anatomy of a 16C bloodfeud' in Archaeologia Aeliana Series 5 Vol XX, p. 86/7, she writes "... In early January 1589 William died from an illness that may have been precipitated by the court case [litigation with the Herons about the title to Ford - JS]. He was aged thirty-seven and knowing that he was about to die he hurriedly leased his lands at Crookham to his brother Ralph in return for three marriage portions of £200 to be given to his daughters Elizabeth, Jane and Eleanor. On the very same day he put his heir Thomas, aged eleven, and his younger son, William, into the safe custody of Lord Hunsdon [President of the Council in the North and a cousin of Queen Elizabeth - JS] for the duration of their minority along with all rights to their lands and marriage. ..." (relying on his inquisition post mortem Public Record Office ref: C142/227/195). This has to mean that Elizabeth was still unmarried in 1589. Yet there is an alleged marriage to Thomas Forster as early as 1580 at Gisburn, ? the one in Yorkshire. This problem will not be lessened if it was Jane, not Elizabeth who married Thomas, since Jane was the younger. According to the IGI 1992 edition, the Guisburn marriage is based on data from their extraction programme and so from a formal record of some kind. I would suggest that the Gisburn record was misread and should have been 1590. This is consistent with the unverified baptismal record for Elizabeth on 24 May 1575 at St Nicholas, Newcastle upon Tyne, in the IGI. This data is a third party submission so may not be reliable, but is specific enough to look credible, pending verification. A 1590 marriage would also close the otherwise unlikely gap between marriage and birth of Reginald 1595 - but that date is itself inconsistent with Elizabeth's reported demise in 1594. All this needs clarifying. The idea that Reginald, with his father still very much alive (an unverified IGI entry suggests he was born 1555), and apparently with no other children (really ?), trotted off to Essex and married there, produced a family and migrated to the US strains credulity a bit. Although name variants do get mixed up they often indicate a different origin. In the North, the variant Foster is not common in the 16C. I think it imprudent to assume that someone named Foster recorded in Essex could safely be identified with a family in the North called Forster over many generations, unless there was explicit evidence to support it. In the light of Philip Gray's apparent doubts, it looks as though such evidence is lacking. At all events, until this question is settled, there is not much point in pursuing the unresolved aspects of the Carr of Ford descent."

This may not be ou rdirect connection, but we assume it is close enough that we add it into the ancestry to lead back to where our line may connect.
http://minerdescent.com/2011/09/22/reginald-foster offers: "Reginald married Judith Wignol on 28 Sep 1619 in Theydon Garnon, Essex, England. Walter Goodwin Davis notes that 'Theydon Garnon is a parish in the western part of the county of Essex. About eight miles to the north lies the parish of Harlow, where at the beginning of the seventeen century lived a Foster family which commonly used the Christian name Renald [a variation of Reginalds name that also appears in the records of New England to which it is highly probable that our Ipswich Reginald Foster belonged]. Two miles southeast of Harlow village there is a hamlet still called Foster Street.' Reginald immigrated in 1638 with his five sons, Abraham, Reginald, William, Isaac, and Jacob, and settled at Ipswich, Mass. After Judith died, he married 'He married again, Sep 1665 to Sarah Larriford, widow of John Martin, of Ipswich.' Reginald died 30 May 1681 in Ipswich, Essex, Mass."
Find A Grave Memorial 62116784 offers: "Descended from an ancient and respected family in the west of England (back to Sir Richard Forester, brother-in-law of William the Conquerer), he came to America in 1638 on a vessel embargoed by King Charles I. The family of five sons and two daughters settled in Ipswich, MA Colony, where they resided near the east bridge. That same year, he purchased a house and lands of John Tuttell. On April 5, 1641, he was granted eight acres of meadow in the west meadow. He an his son, Abraham are mentioned as subscribers to an allowance for Major Divison in 1648. He was a surveyor of highways and in 1664, he and his sons (Abraham, Reginald, Isaac and Jacob) are listed as inhabitants that have shares in Plum Island and Co. His name is mentioned many, many times in the Ipswich town records. He probably married (1) Judith Wignall in England around 1619, and (2) Sarah Martin, widow of John Martin. He sold land with wife, Sarah Aug. 2, 1676. His will dated April 30, 1680, probated June 9, 1681, inventory taken May 30, 1681. He bequeathed to wife, Sarah, what she brought to the marriage and other property. Also bequests to sons: Abraham, Renold (shortening of Reginald), Isaac, William, and Jacob; to daughters: Sarah, wife of William Story, and Mary, wife of Francis Peabody; to grandchild Hannah Story; to son, Abraham.
