(NOTE: Although the entries for Noah and Israel clearly indicate the surname Foster, it is highly likely that the intended name was Forester, as their mother Lettice (Letty) had married James Forester in 1862. She, however, died soon thereafter and James remarried in 1867, leaving the boys to be raised by their maternal grandmother. They apparently readopted the Weekley surnmame sometime prior to the 1880 Census.)
