Residence
1634 [

]
In 1634 the first white settlement in the Connecticut Valley was made in Wethersfield, called by the Indians, "Pyquag" which means "The Dancing Place" or "Place for Games." Nathaniel Foote was one of the first ten who came to Wethersfield in 1636. It was a terrible journey. There was no road, only a narrow Indian trail through the savage wilderness. They walked, driving their cattle before them and were fourteen days on the way. They were in constant danger from wild beasts and Indians and were obliged to wade through streams and swamps, but no hardships caused them to turn back.
Their reasons for going a hundred miles west of other settlements were, so they might "better maintain their minister, find larger accomodations for their cattle and welcome more of their friends from England."
When the land in the valley was distributed, Nathaniel Foote was assigned a house lot of 10 acres, on the east side of what is now Broad Street. He gradually bought more till he owned about 400 acres.
