  • Notes: 

  • This William Foote does not appear to be the son of William Foote and Martha Janes as is claimed by some. He was a contemporary of William and Martha and therefore too old to have been their son. Also, the 1850 federal census states that this William was born in Massachusetts, not Connecticut where William and Martha's family resided.
