sometime before Ohio was open for settlement, Foster was killed by
Indians, after which the widow married James Laughlin, and came with the children of both husbands to Williamsburg about New Year's 1805. Mary, commonly called Polly, Kain was the only daughter of Daniel and Mary Hutchinson Kain. After the early death of his first wife, Daniel married Eleanor, an older sister of Israel Foster, thus establishing a double kinship for the families. The first son of Israel and Polly Foster was born February 22, 1820, while they were residing in the jail, and, after being named for a special friend of both parents, in the fullness of time, came to be known to the Christian world as the justly celebrated Bishop Randolph Sinks Foster, without whom the annals of the Methodist Episcopal church can not be written. An thus another illustrious name was added to the roll of Old Clermont. It is told that Bishop Foster sometimes astonished an ultra select audience by holding that there was hope for all, since he himself was born in a jail. The incident has been connected with the "Old Log Jail," for its picturesque effect, in several publications, but the fact is hereby correctly and exactly stated.
