Lucindy Hastings Chapman was born in the township of Salisbury, Herkimer county, N.H. October 1819. In 1836 she moved to Medina county, Ohio where she married Amory H. Chapman in the year 1838. In the spring of 1845 she moved with her husband to Cass county, Michigan and settled in Newberg township, where she lived for more than half a century. She was the mother of two sons -- H.S. Chapman of Penn, Mich. with whom she lived the past winter, and H.L. Chapman of Marcellus, with whom she was living at the time of her death -- July 26, 1897.

Besides the two sons, she leaves one foster daughter -- Mrs. Libbie Binear, of Salmo ;B.C. four grandchildren and one great grand-son to revere her memory. One brother, Horace Hastings of Menlo is the only one now living of a family of eleven brothers and sisters.

Having lived to the age of nearly 85 yeary [sic], she had outlived most of her generation but the memories of Aunt "Cindy" wrought into the hearts of the younger generations, of relatives, friends and neighbors, is the most worthy monument that can ever be raised to her memory and a more eloquent eulogy than words can express.

The residence of the Foster family at Johnstown marked the development of the boys and girls into men and women, and the addition of four children to the household. The following children were born after the family settled at Johnstown, or more properly the Fish House.* Elihu in 1784, Polly in 1788, Lydia in 1791, and Shubal in 1795. The last named son afterwards figured in several adventures with his brother Nat. Zilpha's hand was won by a gallant swain of the neighborhood, and Elisha's heart was smitten by a fair daughter of the settlement. Her he married.

317. I have a copy of a letter from my grandfather, Warren E. Macomber, in which he states that Zilpha Foster was married to a J. Macomber and were the parents of Loren Macomber, who was married to Elizabeth Hiltz. I have copies of Census Records that show they at one time Loren Foster [probably means Macomber] and his family lived in McDonough, Chenango County, New York, where their son, Amaziah Macomber, was born December 14, 1835. (Amaziah changed the surname spelling from Macomber to McComber some time after he migrated with his family from Herkimer, New York, to what became Duluth, St. Louis County, Minnesota, in 1781. Amaziah was the father of my grandfather, Warren E. Macomber and Warren's son, Eugene B. McComber was my father.

I have a copy of copy of Nat Foster, by A. L. Byron-Curtis, edition published in Boonville, N.Y. by The Willard Press 1912. I inherited this copy from my father. I also know from my father's oral history that Natty Bumpo in the leatherstocking tales by J. Fenimore Cooper had a basis on the life of Nathaniel Foster, Jr., and the times in which he lived.

... Lydia Frisbee and Nathaniel Foster, Sr. I have visited their grave sites in Salisbury Rural Cemetery and an acquaintance of my daughter, Janet, met us when we visited NY state a couple summers ago and took us to visit the grave site of Nathaniel Foster, Jr. in the middle of a cow pasture where friends and family had erected a nice stone in his memory.This friend was descended from Daniel Edgerton. I had pictures of both Nathaniel Foster, Sr.'s and Lydia Frisbee's grave sites, but have misplaced them.
