Nathaniel was admitted freeman 3 Sep 1634, a proprietor of Watertown in 1642. Previous to this date, he went to Wethersfield, CT, where he was deputy 1641, and juror 1743-1644.11
“This most reputable Conn. family, commenced its American history in Weth., yet, owing to an apparently inconquerable migratory tendency in its earlier representatives, the name had entirely disappeared form the town by the end of the third generation. Through its various early intermarriages with other Weth. families, however, the history of these early generations possess Colchester, Conn., and Hadley, Hatfield, Deerfield and other old towns in Western Mass. The family has also been fortunate in having had its history wirtten by a competent had, half a century ago. [The Foote Family, by Nathaniel Goodiwn, 1849.]
“A conspicuous feature in the history of the first generations of the Foote family, is the deaths, sufferings and captivities of its members, and of those connected with them by marriage, at the hands of the Indians.
“It is by no means certain that Mr. Foote, as some have asserted, was the first settler at Weth., but it is probably true that he was one of the first ten men, known as ‘adventurers,’ who absolutely first settled here; and that he was the largest holder of so-called ‘Adventurer’s lands.’ In the original lay-out of the town, 1640, he received a home-lot of ten acres, at South End of Broad St., East side, and gradually became the owner of other pieces of ld., partly in the Great Meadow, east of his home-lot, amounting in all to over 400 acres. ... In 1641-2-4, he represented the town in the General Court, an evidence of the respect and confidence in which he seems to have been held by his fellow-townsmen. In May 1637, when the little army under Capt. John Mason was being provisioned for the memorable Pequot campaign, it was ‘ordered yt that there shalbe 1 hogg prvided att Wythersfeild for the design in hand, weh. [i.e. the hogg, not the expedition] is conceived to be Nathaniell Footes’—a compliment, certainly form the Col. authorities, to Mr. Foote’s ability in raising good pork!”167
When Nathaniel was 15 he was an apprentice to Samuel Croyle, grocer of Colchester. He arrived at Watertown, MA, in 1630, a freeman there in 1634. He removed to Wethersfield, CT, in 1636.
Nathanield brought from England his wife Elizabeth and children Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Mary, Robert, Frances, and Sarah; had REbecca, born probably at Watertown. Freeman 3 Sep 1634, then removed to Wethersfield 1636, where he was rep. 1641-44.2
