A birth conflict exists between the 1860 census for Warren County, Pennsylvania and what is traditionally accepted by the family. The date used here is that accepted by the family.

Parents:
Daughter of Martin Allen (b.1765) & Mary McComber (b.1769 in Ireland). Martin Allen was an American who moved to Ireland, married Mary McComber in 1788, and then moved back to America and settled in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Spouse:
Married Thomas Foster (1815-1886), son of James Foster (b.1778 in England) & Elizabeth Wilson (b.1797 in England).

Children:
Wilson W. (1850-1890)
Mana E. (1856-1860)
Marian Amy Foster (Johnson)(1862-1945)

The family lived on a pioneer farm between Oxford and Winfield, Kansas. It is unknown to the family why Mary Anna is buried in Winfield and Thomas is buried in rural Trinidad, Colorado.

Mary Anna was a teacher, at the Pawnee Agency in Indian Territory, Oklahoma.

Died: At Pawnee Agency, Indian Territory on Tuesday, March 11th, 1884, Mrs. Mary A. Foster, wife of Thomas Foster, of Vernon, and for many years a member of the Mount Zion Baptist church. She had a long and painful illness, and the remains were removed to Winfield for interment. (Winfield Courier, Winfield KS, Thursday, March 20, 1884, page 3, transcribed by Judy Mayfield)
