Bridgton, ME VR lists the marriage intention "Asael Foster, Jr, Bridgton and Lucy Brackett, Otisfield, Intentions posted on Mar 24 1796." See "Foster Genealogy...," Frederick Clifton Pierce (Chicago: W. B. Conkey Co., 1899), p. 171. He is reputed to be one of the first lumbermen to work in the upper reaches of the Union River.
The newspaper "United States Oracle of the Day" - published 11 Oct 1800 in Portsmouth, NH, reported on p. 3, col. 2: "Asael Foster, Jr. had his dwelling house in Bridgton consumed by fire on the 20th ult. [20 Sept 1800]".
"A Gazatteer of the State of Maine," George Jones Varney (Boston: B. B.

According to one of Elijah's descendants, he was one of the original settlers of Vigo Co., IN. The following passage appears to prove that. It is from "The History of Vigo & Parke Counties" H.W. Beckwith - 1880:
"The first house erected in the township was a small log cabin near the later residence of Mrs. Irving Thomas. This house was raised and covered by the respected and well known pioneer, Joseph Liston. In the absence of Mr. Liston, who had returned to civilization for his family, Mr. Thomas Pound, his family, and some other persons, took possession of the unfinished house, and recorded themselves as the first family passing a night as residents of Prairie Creek township. This event occurred late in the fall of 1816. As a matter of township history the names of this family are given. They were: Thomas Pound and Sarah his wife, and their children, William, Elijah, Joseph, Sarah, Rebecca, Eunice, Malissa, and Elizabeth; also their comrades, Hamilton Reed, Thomas Reed, Hugh Reed, and the late Elijah Staggs. The Sarah named as one of the children of Thomas Pound is our aged and loved neighbor Sarah Thomas, who has passed fifty-seven years of her life in this township. "
