    Notes 
    • CHR: Billingborough BTs (FHL #421922).
      MAR: No mar rec found. John Dickinson had a wife Frances by whom he had a child born at Wethersfield in 1648 ("Wethersfield Births, Marriages, Deaths, 1634-1868," Barbour Collection [typescript, 1927; Conn. State Library, Hartford], 95 [FHL #002982]). Frances is apparently the dau of Nathaniel and Elizabeth Foote of Wethersfield. Frances, widow of John Dickinson, and her 2nd husband, Francis Barnard of Hadley, made a pre-nuptial agreement, 20 Aug 1677 (Hampshire Co. Deeds [Springfield Reg], A:87 [FHL #844486]). The distribution of the Nathaniel Foote estate provided for a dau Frances, aged 15 yrs. See abstract from Hartford District Probate in Charles W. Manwaring, ed, DIGEST OF THE EARLY CONNECTICUT PROBATE RECORDS, 3 vols. (Hartford, 1904-1906), 1:12 (FHL #974.6 P2m). Nathaniel Foote's widow, Elizabeth, married Gov. Thomas Welles. The will of widow Elizabeth Welles of Wethersfield, 28 Mar 1678, no probate act, mentions my "daughter Barnard," and Francis Barnard received a portion in the estate distribution. See abstract from Hartford District Probate in Manwaring, DIGEST, 1:379-81. Hence, Frances Foote married (1) John Dickinson, and (2) Francis Barnard.
      DEATH: John was killed by the Indians at the Battle of Turner's Falls during King Philip's War. The official account and casualty list are found in George M. Bodge, SOLDIERS IN KING PHILIP'S WAR (Boston, 1906; repr Baltimore, 1991), 241-47 (FHL #974 M2b).
