Foster: son of Thomas of Witney, Oxon, pleb; TRINITY College, matric 21 Mar. 1672/3 aged 15; BA 1676. V of Sherriff Hales, Staffordshire, 1690. See Foster Ind. Eccl.
One of the records for the ordination as priest of a Samuel Collier(Coventry and Litchfield) gives him as MA from Trinity Dublin; there no trace of his name in Alumni Dublinenses; there is no exact date for this ordination, which was between 1671 and 1692. A further record of priestly ordination for 12/1677 gives Samuel Collier as BA from Trinity Oxford, ordained by Bp of Gloucester. The appts to Sherrifhales (Staff acording to Foster, Salop according to the record) shows him as an MA. Seems to be same person, but could be two separate people?
