PHILIP FOUST, farmer, P.O. Harmonsburg, was born in Berks County, Penn., October 7, 1800, and is a son of Adam and Catherine (Brown) Foust, who came to this county in 1804, settling in Sadsbury Township, there purchasing 800 acres of land and afterward 400 more. They had a family of fourteen children, of whom Daniel and our subject are the only surviving members. Philip Foust was married in June, 1822, to Lydia, daughter of John Brown, by whom he had eleven children: Perrina (deceased), Cornelius, Lucinda, Samuel, Fannie, Harriet (deceased), Sarah A., Maria, Catharine, Liveria, William (deceased). Lucinda married Dennis Lets; Fannie married Isaac Onspaugh; Sarah married Joseph Moss; Maria married M. Crane; Catharine married E. Soper; Liveria was twice married. Her present husband is J. Salome. Our subject, now in his old age, occupies a farm near the lake. He has been a leading farmer in his community.
