Elliott R Foster 
Elliott R was born in December 1829 in Tennessee.1 Elliott R's father was William Foster. He had a brother named Henry. He was the older of the two children. He died at the age of 71 in January 1901 in Texas.General Notes
That Henry is a brother and William is the father is just speculation on my part based on the information from the 1870 census. Catherine Riggs may also be a sister, since William is living with her family. Just a possibility that warrants looking into since they are all living within 4 households of eachother.
