Nathaniel married Elizabeth about 1616. Elizabeth was born about 1596 in of Colchester,Essex,Eng; died on 28 Jul 1683 in Wethersfield,Hartford,CT. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place are approximations. The earliest record of Elizabeth is at Colchester St. James, Essex, where her first two children were born. She is often called Elizabeth Deming because she called John Deming "my beloved brother" in her will, below. However, other possibilities exist and are, perhaps, even more likely. See George E. McCracken, "John Deming and Elizabeth Foote," TAG, 55(1979):28-31 (FHL #973 D25aga).
MAR #1: No mar rec found. Children of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Foote were baptized at Colchester St. James, Essex in 1617 and 1619 (FHL #1565420 item 17).
MAR #2: No mar rec found. The children of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Foote are identified as her own in the will of widow Elizabeth Welles of Wethersfield, 28 Mar 1678, no probate act, Hartford District Probate, abstracted in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:379-81 (FHL #974.6 P2m). Thomas Welles of Wethersfield deeded his interest and right in the house of Nathaniel Foote to the latter's son Nathaniel on 10 Oct 1646. Nathaniel was to pay his brother Robert and sister Sarah, as their portion due from Welles (Wethersfield Deeds, 1:159 [FHL #005991]). Hence, it is clear that Elizabeth married (1) Nathaniel Foote and (2), before 10 Oct 1646, Thomas Welles.
DEATH: No death rec found. Elizabeth was dead by 1683 when her estate was distributed to her heirs (Manwaring, DIGEST, 1:380-81). The death date of 28 Jul 1683 is provided in Abram W. Foote, FOOTE FAMILY, 2nd ed, 2 vols. (Rutland, VT, 1907; repr Hughson, CA, 1974), 1:17 (FHL #929.273 F739faw). No evidence has been found in original source records.

BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. Robert is identified in the will of his father, John Foote of Royston, Cambs, n.d., proved 18 Jul 1558, P.C.C., 34 Noodles (FHL #091931).

BIRTH: The will of John Foote of Royston, n.d., proved 18 Jul 1558, mentions his wife Helen and her brother Richard Warren (P.C.C., 34 Noodles [FHL #091931]).

Notes:

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations. Elizabeth's will, below, alludes to the parish of Bletchingley. A family of Whatman existed there during the 16th century from which it is conjectured Elizabeth was a member.
MAR: St. Leonard Eastcheap, London par reg (FHL #535720). The wife's surname is given at Waterman on mar entry, but her own will, below, refers to siblings surnamed "Whetman," apparently a variation of Whatman.
