     Mary Foster was born on 10 June 1673.1 She married Ebenezer Lovejoy, son of John Lovejoy and Mary Osgood, on 11 July 1693.1 She died on 5 October 1763 in Andover, Essex Co., Massachusetts, at age 90.1

Children of Mary Foster and Ebenezer Lovejoy

     In the Lovejoy genealogy compiled by Clarence Earle Lovejoy two other children are listed for them, both daughters that were "probably" named Mehitable, but the infomation for them is confused and inconsistent. One is listed as being born in 1709 and probably dying young, while the other is listed as being born 12 June 1704 and dying 17 January 1786. One of the compiler's informants thinks one of these daughters may be confused with Margaret Lovejoy, who was born 9 March 1730, the daughter of Christopher Lovejoy and Sarah Russ. Another informant says that a daughter named Mehitable was born 17 December 1709 and died 17 January 1786, and probably married as his second wife Timothy Mooar, who first married Ann Blanchard (b 1691), the daughter of Jonathan and Ann (Lovejoy) Blanchard. The same informant says this Mehitable married second William French on 27 November 1770. Yet another informant says that Ebenezer and Mary had two other daughters, Mary and Hannah.1

Swikert and Susanah Adeline Havens, on 7 September 1903 (the Jacob Swikert genealogy by Elizabeth Watkins says 10 March 1904) in Union Co., Oregon.3,1 They apparently divorced, as they were both later remarried.6,7 She married second Frank N.

There's also a marker for Grace Porter Anderson (1885-1956) at Enterprise Cemetery in Enterprise, Wallowa Co., Oregon.2,11
