• Comments

  Foster: son of Samuel, Berks, cler, MAGDALEN COLLEGE, matric. 15 May 1746; chorister 1740-5; clerk 1745-52; BA NEW COLLEGE 3 Mar. 1749/50; MA 1752; see Bloxam I, 162
  
  Note possiblility of his being confused with Robert Shenton (CCEd ID 116928), who appears to be his brother,; their careers up to the 1750s are quite different, but Richard does not appear at all in the Hereford Fasti list of vicars choral. Robert does from 1750 as BA, resigning in 1757 and date of death about 1798. It is possible that some or all of the entries below belong to Robert not Richard.
