George Alcock's birthdate (continued) Rev Thomas Hooker conection.

@ Foster Family DNA Project [67 Markers] with Family Tree DNA [I-2a2b L-38] Project results: Foster male line sample taken from my 1st cousin Virgil Foster [Halpogroup I-M170] was a mirror image match between Reginald Foster of Harlow b.1602/3 and my 9th great-grandfather Andrew Foster II of Andover b.1584/5. Reginald's grandfather was John Forster of Tuggall Hall, Newham, Northumberland b. 1565, England and grandmother Grace Forster (cousin) daughter of Cuthbert Forster of Etherstone, Northumberland b. 1568.

@ George Alcock's 1st marriage was to Ann/Annis Hooker in England and she died shortly after arriving New England with her husband George. I am contending that George and Ann Hooker (a sister of Rev. Thomas Hooker) had born 1st Ann/Annis Alcock b. during 1617 and 2nd John Alcock. Both were left behind in England. Ann Alcock arrived New England 1635 on ship Abigail at age 18 and John Alcock was retrieved by his father George Alcock during a 2nd trip to England where he married his 2nd wife. George Alcock's 1st wife was not Mary, it was Ann Hooker.

@ The average age of students attending Cambridge University during the 1500-1600's was 14-21 or 22 years of age. Therefore the birthdate for George Alcock 25 March 1581 will not work because he would have been 41 or 42 years old in 1622. In this regard, I must be mistaken. However, if George Alcock was born during 1604/5, 1. It is still possible to have been the father of Ann Alcock b.1617 in England when George was 14 or 15 years old. 2.Then he would have been 18 or 19 in 1622 at Cambridge University. 3.When his son John Alcock b.1626/27 five years later in England he would have been 22. 4.When Ann Alcock arrived in New England in 1635/6 George would have been 31 or 32 years old. 5.When George Alcock married his 2nd wife Elizabeth, who gave birth to Samuel 16 April 1637, he would have been 33 or 34 years old. 6.If George died at Roxbury during 1640 he would have been then 36 or 37 years of age. So it seems my theory appears to be mistaken with the 1581 birthdate and his attendance at Cambridge University.
However, if one accepts how young their attendance at the University was in those days, one could also understand how young men could have children at the ages of 14 or 15. So, accepting the birthdate for George Alcock as 25 March 1604/5, as well as George having a daughter Ann Alcock b.1617/18 by Ann [Hooker] Alcock, it continues to be possible that Ann [Alcock] Foster, wife of Andrew Foster of Andover is one and the same person. a. The ages of Ann Alcock and Ann Foster of Andover still remain the same,75 years old during 1692. b. The sons of William Chandler, Thomas and William of Andover did sign the Will of Andrew Foster of Andover. c. Many connections between the Hookers, Eliot's, Foster's and Alcock's at Cambridge University remain. d. DNA evidence confirms my relatedness to several branches of Foster's. e. George Alcock's original Will no longer exists. f. Is it possible that George Alcock was only 36 or 37 years old when he died during 1640 ? We all struggle with the lack of remaining evidence, so I sincerely wish you all good luck and "God Speed" !

Respectfully: I have deleted my previous theory about George Alcock as have been born in the year 1581. I was wrong because in that case George would have been about 41 years old during the year he was reported to have attended Cambridge University. Much too old for attendance on that date. However, the 1605 birthdate seems to me now more correct. Still contend for reasons above that Ann Alcock and George Alcock were Ann [Hooker] Alcock's parents and that she was the wife of Andrew Foster II of Andover, Mass. Some person has taken upon themselves, without notice nor communication with me, to change my family tree with respect to these individuals in question ! Please first prove me wrong with factual or circumstantial evidence. J. Edson Myers 10-13-2017
