599 ANDREW FOSTER.
Manager 1821-1823.
Andrew Foster, son of John Foster and Barbara Fairnie, his wife, was born at Kinghorn, in the "Kingdom of Fife," June 25, 1772, and died at his home, No. 5 Bowling Green, New York City, December 25, 1849. The exact year of Mr. Foster's appearance in New York has not been ascertained but an advertisement under date of April 30, 1798, stated that Foster & Giraud "commenced the grocery business at the corner of Taylor's Wharf and Front Street." His partner Giraud was Jacob Post Giraud and his sister, Ann Giraud, became the first wife of Mr. Foster. She was born July 19, 1776, and died on the 10th September, 1816. Mr. Foster married secondly Ann, daughter of Harmanus Ten Eyck of Albany, on March 1, 1819, at Albany, and by the Rev. Dr. Bradford. This lady was born March 26, 1788, and died July 13, 1851. In 1800 Mr. Foster was carrying on business at Greenwich Street and later at 65 South Street. In course of time the firm became shipping merchants and owned many ships. After Mr. Giraud retired Mr. Foster's sons were admitted to partnership, the firm becoming Andrew Foster & Sons. One of his descendants states "I have always heard that he was a man of force, of high character and of a good heart. It is believed he was an elder in the Presbyterian Church." Mr. Foster's standing in the community is well attested to by the many estates administered by him as executor or trustee. In 1808 he became a director in the Jersey Bank, in 1809 a director of the New York State Bank, also of the Commercial Insurance Co., and the Washington Mutual Assurance Company. His portrait is in possession of the family. His son, Jacob Post Giraud Foster, joined the Society in 1850, and his grandson, Frederic de Peyster Foster, to whom we are indebted for much of the above information, joined the Society in 1913.
