Joanna Foster was born reportedly about 1645 in New Castle, New Hampshire. Identification of her parents is pending further research.
Joanna married Henry Trefethen about 1670. They had at least three children including: Elizabeth b. 1670, m. George Trundy; Foster, b. 1672, m. Martha Paine; and Henry Jr. b. abt. 1678, m. Mary Robinson. A fourth child, George, may have died young.
Joanna was still living in New Castle in 1708 and in possession of land "by Penhallow" that she granted to son Henry Jr. This transaction and Joanna's possession of land infer that her husband, Henry Sr., had passed away in or before 1708 likely in New Castle. Joanna passed away after 1708 in New Castle, New Hampshire.
