Introduction The purpose of this page is to provide the reader with an index to the names of children in the three known generations in England, and the first three generations in America. We also include charts on two famous people who are descended from Nathaniel Foote.
The period of time from the oldest Ancestor born in England around the year 1530 to the present encompasses some 475 years. This page deals with the known ancestors who lived in England.
Please note that the names provided primarily follow our ancestral line in England and the first three generations in America. These charts cover all Known names through the generations. As more data is available we will include additional names in each generation.
Since 1932, the time of the publication of volume II of the Foote Family, several new discoveries have been made about the English ancestors and relatives of Nathaniel Foote the Settler, his brother Joshua Foote, and their sister Mary, Wife / Husband of Joshua Hewes.
Many descendants of Nathaniel Foote submit that their lineage comes from a John Foote, through two Robert Footes, his grandfather and father. Others omit the first John and begin the line with a Robert Foote Sr., grandfather of Nathaniel Foote and his siblings.
Recent scholarship based on the will of John Foote of Royston, a tallow chandler, places him as the father of Robert Foote of Shalford, grandfather of Nathaniel Foote the Settler, and the most remote Foote ancestor for which documentation can be found.
The insertion of two Roberts into the lineage was based on an undocumented pedigree chart which was probably provided by Arthur Onslow in which the names Robert and John were confused.
One of the last things Donna Siemiatkoski (former Foote Family Genealogy book editor) did before her death was to provide the Foote Family Association of America with an update to our English Ancestry.
The following "notes" from Donna provide a synopsis of how some of the changes to the ancestry previously published by Abram Foote were discovered.
- Arthur Onslow, son-in-law of Sir Thomas Foote, who served as Sheriff of London in 1643 and Lord Mayor in 1650, fist cousin of Nathaniel provided information to the Herald on the Foote Family. He probably reported the information from memory of conversations about his Wife / Husband's relatives and he made an error. The herald's report was undocumented - no proof of Onslow's statements.
- George Rickword reported on this pedigree to Henery Waters for his Genealogical Gleanings in England, (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc.: 1901, Volume II, P. 1285). Herald's reports are usually accurate.
- Waters published the pedigree of Sir Thomas Foote, first cousin of Nathaniel, not knowing it had an error in the earlier generations. Waters is considered a reliable source.
- Abram Foote used Waters work to construct Nathaniels' pedigree, not realizing it was in error. Abram did publish the will of John Foote, not realizing he was the grandfather of Nathaniel.
- Jean Valore read the will of John Foote carefully, checked related data, and disclosed the error.
- This results in the following changes:
|
| Previous | Current |
| John | John |
| Robert | Robert |
| Robert | Nathaniel |
| Nathaniel | |
Additional changes in the first four generations also resulted from Donna's research. The current version of the first four generations are shown below.
Note: "The Harold" spoke of by Authur Onslow would most likely be a reference to the "College of Heraldry" in London. The Heralds keep track of Londons' Coats-of-Arms.
Nathaniel Foote "The Settler" was the Third generation in England and the First Generation in America.
