Note: Nathaniel Foote's name is in the Records of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay, when he took the oath of freeman in 1633. Residence: 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. Probate: Nathaniel Foote died without a will, at a Particular Court in Hartford an inventory of his property and distribution of his real estate were exhibited and an order of court granting administration on his estate and directing a distribution to be made was passed.

Note: The children and grandchildren of Frances Foote suffered very much from the Indians. Her oldest child, Hannah, married Samuel Gillet in 1668 and had 4 children. While they were all very small, Hannah's husband was killed in the great fight with the Indians at Turners Falls on the Connecticut River, May 19, 1676. The next year Hannah married Stephen Jennings, and a few months later she was captured by the Indians and taken to Canada. The poor woman - soon to be a mother - left three little children at home, the oldest but six. (Her first baby had been burned to death). Hannah was rescued in a few months, then her baby was born and named Captivity. some years later they moved to Brookfield, Massachusetts. One day in July Hannah's husband Mr. Jennings was in the meadow, with five other men, making hay, when some Indians sprang upon them suddenly and killed them. The husband of her daughter Captivity was also slain by the Indians. Another daughter of Frances Foote and John Dickinson, Sarah, who married Samuel Lane and had five children, also had a terrible experience. Less than a year after Samuel Lane's death in 1690, she married a widower, Martin Kellogg, with two small children, whose wife had died six months before. They had four more children. Three of the last children and one of the first wife's who was named Martin were captured by the Indians in Deerfield, February 29, 1704 and taken to Canada. Martin Kellogg, Jr. the first wife's child, was rescued but was captured several times. He learned the Indian language and was often employed to interpret treaties with the Indians. He became a Captan and was remarkable even in that day of strong men for his great strength and firmness, and many tales are told of his exploits. The three other children of Sarah Dickenson and Martin Kellogg, Sr. who were captured were; Joseph, 13; Joanna, 11; and Rebecca,9. Joseph learned the Indian language and on his return from captivity often acted as an interpreter. Joanna stayed with the Indians and finally married an Indian Chief and had a number of children. Once she came to visit her half brother, Martin Kellogg, Jr., bringing some of her children with her. He tried to persuade her to stay with him, but she would not and returned to her Indian home. Rebecca remained with the Indians until she was grown. Then she married Benjamin Ashley. Knowing the Indian language so well, she was often employed as an interpreter by the missionaries. At one time she went with one of them through the woods on a mission to the Indians and died in an Indian village.
