Notes for NATHANIEL THE SETTLER FOOTE:
According to the The Foote Family Web Page Nathaniel was born in St. Botolph's, Billingsgate,
London, England. Accepted data from the period indicates that only a few colonists arrived in New
England in the years immediately following the arrival of the Mayflower. It is known that in the spring
of 1630, about 1500 people crossed the Atlantic in one expedition organized and led by John
Winthrop, first Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony. Soon after Governer Winthrop's 1630
expedition Nathanial Foote, his family and his brothers, Pasco and John (or Caleb) decided to seek
their fortunes in the New World. According to tradition, they left their homes in Colchester and sailed
to Plymouth, Massachusetts on the brig "Fortune".
Some sources say Nathaniel, his wife Elizabeth, and their six children settled in Watertown,
Massachusetts. Pasco settled in Salem, Massachusetts, and it not know where John (or Caleb) lived.
As far as we know, John had no children. Nathaniel Foote, the first of this family in America,
Generation 4 (con't)
is of record in the Colony of Massachusetts Bay as early as 1633, in which year he took oath as
freeman. He was first of Watertown, and was among the first settlers of Wethersfield, Conn.,
receiving a distribution of land in the latter town in 1640. In 1644 he was deputy to the General
Court. He was an intelligent, pious and industrious man. He was married in England in 1615, to
Elizabeth Deming, and died in Wethersfield in 1644. His widow married Thomas Welles, later
governor of the Colony; she died July 28, 1683.
Nathaniel's Apprenticeship
Nathaniel Foote The Settler resided in Shalford Parish, county Essex and St. Mary Bothaw Parish,
London. At the age of sixteen was apprenticed on September 21, 1608 to Samuel Croyle of
Colchester, a "Grocer" and "Free Burgess", for a period of 8 years or until his 24th birthday in the year
1616. He was a grocer himself as of October 18, 1619, when he brought a message from Beatrice
Barker, Esq, located on East Street, St. James Parish, Colchester. A short time after he finished his
apprenticeship training, he was married to Elizabeth Deming (In January of the year 1616) in
Colchester, Essex, England. She was the sister of John Deming, who was one of the first settlers of
Wethersfield Conn. in the year of 1615. John Deming was for many years the one of the magistrates
of the "Colony of the Connecticut" and one of the Patenees named in it's charter.
Nathaniel's Profession
Even though Nathaniel's main profession in England was that of a Crochet, he became a farmer. He
was also active in the public trusts of the town. He was appointed as a delegate to the "General
Court" in the year 1644. It is thought that Nathaniel may have taken part in the first public election
held by American people held in Wethersfield on April 11, 1640. Remember the general court had
stated they must "continue still under this Government." For the Adventurers to hold public elections
was a direct defiance of the Royal Courts of the Crown. This election took place 135 years before
the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Nathaniel Foote was the first cousin
of Sir Thomas Foote, Sheriff of London in 1649 and Lory Mayo of London in1650. Sir Thomas Foote
was
the son of Robert Foote of Royston and the brother of Robert Foote of Shalford, who was
Nathaniel's Father.
Records show that Nathaniel Foote died in Wethersfield, Conn in November 1644 at the age of
51. He was buried in the burying ground in the rear of the town meeting house, where nine
generations are
buried. Nathaniel was survived by his wife, two sons, and five daughters.

Notes for Elizabeth Deming Foote Welles:
The Elizabeth Deming Foote Story
(Taken from an article in Footeprints - Spring 1999 issue
The Foote Family Association of America)
Elizabeth Deming was born in England in the last part of the 16th Century. About 1615 she married
Nathaniel Foote who had a grocery business in Cholchester, England. After the birth of their
sixchildren, Nathaniel decided to sell his grocery business and emigrate to the new world. By some
he is considered to be the first settler of Wethersfield. Whether this is true or not we do not know. We
do know he was one of the first ten men who settled along the bank of the Connecticut River and
eventually named their settlement Wethersfield. They are now known as the Ten Adventurers.
Nathaniel Foote was one of those names in the charger of patentees of Wethersfield. Between 1641
and 1644, he served as a Deputy to the General Assembly, as well as a member of the colony Grand
Jury. The Foote family became one of the leading families of the little
Connecticut Colony. He became a magistrate, a leading land owner, eventually owning more than
500 acres of land in Wethersfield, some of
the great meadow, and his home on the south end of the green, next to the present Broad Street.
The family was saddened by Nathaniel's death at age 61. Elizabeth was so respected that she
was allowed to be executor of his estate.
Elizabeth was left a wealthy widow, but did not remain in that status for long. In 1646 she married
Thomas Welles who was a widower with
several children from his first marriage. Thomas Welles served as Governer of Connecticut
Colony for two terms, 1655 - 1658. When he was not serving as governor he was a Deputy
Governor. He died during his last years of being Deputy Governor, January 14, 1659/1660.
Elizabeth was again a widow, having two families instead of one. She was in control of a large estate
from both husbands. Elizabeth Welles was a tenacious and feisty old woman. She had not only
survived a perilous voyage from England, but while tending to six exuberant children and a husband,
she made a new life for herself and her family in a world they knew nothing about. This world was
inhabited by Indians who were not always friendly with those pale face people. The rigors of life and
managing a household did not daunt her.
Things went quite well through the intervening years since arriving on shores of the newly
discovered continent, until she reached old age.
In 1676 as she approached the age of 80 years, she ran into trouble with one of her step-
grandchildren. This was Robert Welles, a favorite of grandfather, Governor Thomas Welles when the
governor was alive. Robert had arrived at the Governor's home, there to be taken care of and
educated. But now his grandfather was dead and Robert and his step-grandmother disagreed.
Maybe she did not think him old enough to be married at age 24. Never the less it was 1676 when
Elizabeth brought Robert Welles to court, because he "..hath dammyfield her Barn by parting with the
other part of the barn that did adjoin to it." Exactly what he did to her barn is not clear. The court's
decision was clear. He was ordered to repair the barn and also to pay his step-grandmother rent for
it. Elizabeth made sure the barn incident was not her last word. Two years later, in 1678, she made
sure all the Welles were taken care of when she made her will. She left them nothing. She stated
someone
outside the family would be executor of her will. Everything she had she left to her own family. That
is the family she and Nathaniel had raised and nurtured. The Welles family got nothing. Elizabeth
died in 1683, at the age of 88. The estate was divided among the Footes. One of the documents in
the Probates Court was that of the final disposition, that during that same year Robert Welles won a
lawsuit against his step-grandmother's will that he would have to be paid by those who had been
name in the will. John Deming, the brother of Elizabeth, was also one of the first settlers in
Wethersfield, Connecticut. he was one of the patentees in its charter and for many years was one of
the magistrates of the
Colony of Connecticut.

Notes for Nathaniel Foote (quartermaster):
Nathaniel Foote purchased Colchester in prior to 1699 at which time the town was incorporated,
named and its boundaries defined. Prior to this date this territory of Colchester was merely the
hunting grounds of the Mohegan Indians, and as there is no evidence of any Indian villages in this
section it may be visualized as having been a vast, unbroken forest where the red man roamed in
quest of game. The story goes that Nathaniel Foote, of Wethersfield, acting as an agent for a
company of planters, paid a visit to Owaneco, who was then Sachem of the Mohegans, with a view of
purchasing the hunting grounds, and that, by hook or crook, procured a deed from the poor Indian for
the equivalent of about a dollar and a half. Following the purchase, the town was incorporated and
the settlement began. Foote started building a house on a choice bit of land reserved for himself, but
unfortunately died before the house was completed and before he had removed with his family to
Colchester. This house has been miraculously preserved and is now the shrine of the local D.A.R. It
is also interesting to note that the descendents of this same family are residing in Colchester today.
Nathaniel Foote House is the oldest standing house in Colchester. Nathaniel started building a new
home for his wife and nine children in Colchester in 1699. Because of ill health he was not able to
finish the house or move to the new settlement. His son, Nathaniel, completed it in 1702 shortly
before his father died of "a lingering consumption (Sic)". The senior Nathaniel's widow and four
youngest children moved there later, where Margaret lived to be ninety five years old.
The house is supposed to have stood near the First Church and burying grounds, a mile north of the
present center. A century or so later it was moved to the Hartford Turnpike and used as a post office.
In 1896 Mrs. Frederick G. Bock bought the property on Broadway where the little old building stood,
neglect4ed and fast going to decay. She had it repaired and placed on the end of it a bronze cast at
the Brooklyn Navy Yard from metal salvaged from a man-of-war. It was oblong with thirteen white
stars on a blue field and the figures "1702" in red.
Mrs. Bock, who was a member of the Colonel Henry Champion Charter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, decided to present the old house to the D.A.R. In 1925 it was removed to its
present location on Norwich Avenue next to the office of the Town Clerk. This site Was given by
Edward M. Dy, who also laid a cement foundation for the house, shingled, clap boarded and painted
the house, put a beautiful fence around it, and planted shrubbery.

J.D.Foote - On Tuesday evening, August 21st at 11:30, J.D. Foote of Cooks
Falls passed away quietly at his home . People were shocked at this news,
for, while it was known that Mr. Foote had been ailing for months, his death
was unlooked for. Jay Dean Foote was born at Madison, NY January 7th,
1870, the second son of George Foote and Lydia Lee Foote. He is survived
by three brothers, a half brother and a stepmother and by his widow Lizzie
Dolaway Foote whose former home was South Fallsburgh, and to whom he
was married in Jersey City on January 15th, 1903. He has been station
agent at Cook's Falls for over sixteen years and was employed by the O.

the Brotherhood of O.R.T. and a man of sterling qualities who will be sadly
missed by hosts of friends.
