I have a family of Fosters who lived in Pasquotank County, NC (Union District) in 1810 -- they were John W. Foster, Sr., his wife (name unknown) and his son, John W., Jr. John W. Sr. was working as an overseer on a plantation in NC when John was a baby (1808-1810) and was killed during a negro uprising. How can I find out more information about my John W.? How can I find out of John's wife remarried? Would this event have been covered in a local newspaper, and are local newspapers available? Many thanks for any assistance!
