However, their father would not allow Richard to enlist because he was needed on the dairy farm so the school children would have milk to drink. This purportedly angered the young Richard. _______________ North Carolina Birth Index, 1800-2000 Name: Richard Malloy Foster Date of Birth: 25 Sep 1922 Gender: Male Race: White Birth County: Catawba [Caswell] Parent1 Name: Ernest Osber Foster Parent2 Name: Isabella Poteat Foster Roll Number: B_C021_68003 Volume: 4 Page: 962 1930 United States Federal Census Name: Richard M Foster Home in 1930: Yanceyville, Caswell, North Carolina Age: 7 Estimated birth year: abt 1923 Relation to Head of House: Son Father's Name: Ernest Mother's Name: Isabella Race: White Household Members: Name Age Ernest Foster 31 Isabella Foster 27 James Foster 9 Richard M Foster 7 Virginia Dorris Foster 5 Lillie Aner Foster 3 Bettie Jane Foster 8/12 Social Security Death Index Name: Richard M.
