Notes

  • Adalina is firwst reported in the census in 1850 under the name Mary A, as the child of William and Zenith Forrester (entered as Foster).

    1850 Federal Census, Gilmer County, Georgia, 5 Octobsr, Subdivision 33, page 82, Hse/Fam #560
    William Foster [Forrester] 32 M Farmer $500 Real Estate b SC [b abt 1818]
    Zenith Foster [Forrester] 23 F b SC [b abt 1927]
    Thalla Foster [Forrester] 3 M born SC [b abt 1847]
    Mary A Foster [Forrester] 1 M born GA [b abt 1849]

    The census reports Adalina's older sister Thalia (Thalla) as born in SC and Mary A born in Geogia.  So the family moved to Georgia in about 1848.  Later censuses report Thalia also as born in Georgia.  It would appear that this 1850 census is correct, being close to the date of birth of both girls and soon afte the move to Georgia.

    An early census says Zenith had 7 children, but only 6 living as Thalia Ann, Mary Adalina, Martha Manda, Joseph N, and Louisa N [this names only 5]"
