The Elizabeth Fost referenced was probably Elizabeth (Crawford) (Goffe) Fost (Crawford-24658), who was the second wife of John Fost (Fost-7)
The daughter who Ephraim married could have been either (1) Jemima, mentioned in the GDMNH section on John Fost, or (2) a daughter of Elizabeth (Crawford) (Goffe) Fost and her first husband, James Goffe. The Third Supplement to New England Marriages Prior to 1800 says he married _____ Goffe, citing "The Chadbourne Family in America", which does not seem to be available online.
