Served as a second lieutenant in Capt. John Morton's company of the Prince Edward County, Virginia militia, which fought against General Charles Cornwallis during the Revolution. After the war Foster moved from Lunenburg County, Virginia, to Green County, Georgia. When his wife died in 1836, he moved to Columbus with his adult children. He was important enough at his death in 1847, at age 93, that the Muscogee County Superior Court adjourned for his funeral. They called him "our aged and worthy fellow citizen...few having lived so blameless a life and left so unblemished a reputation...." Foster has many descendants living in Columbus today.
