  John Foss

  William Foss (Ahnentafel No:64 )

  • Notes: 

  • John Foss is said to have been a caulker aboard a British warship who deserted the ship in Boston Harbor and fled to Rye, New Hampshire,

    John Foss may have been the John Fosse, son of Stephen Fosse and Mary Jackson, who was baptized at Paignton, Devonshire, England, 24 NOV 1633. Evidence is needed to prove that this is the same John Foss who emigrated to Rye, New Hampshire.

    John Foss of Rye, New Hampshire, is often confused with John Fost of Dover, New Hamsphire.
