Rebecca Bonnell

Also not a known child of John Brooke

Martha Presland

Benjamin Brooke

Not a known child of John Brooke

Nathaniel Brooke

Don’t know who this is:

Francis Daniel Foote

There might be issues with the children of Robert Foote of London

I’m seeing contradictory sources.

all resolved.

Progressing to the next generations,

Evidence needed to support Richard Gorde of Roxbury as son of Walter Goode, Gent.

He was the husband of Phebe Goard daughter of Mary Hewes

Thanks for all the work you have done on this family.

Children of Robert Foote and Dionis are:

(16) i John(4) Foote Born before November 18, 1610; Died before 1714.

(--) ii Samual Foote Born before November 21, 1613; Died before July 16, 1615.

(17) iii Samual Foote Born before July 16, 1615; Died before 1714.

(18) iv Elizabeth Foote Born before July 04, 1619; Died before 1714.

John Foote, Gent. is my upline direct.

What do I need to do to get him up to oar for MP flag? I am willing to help

*par not oar

Are you sure he’s an ancestor, and / or belongs in this family? Locations don’t match. Who’s the American?

This is where the line comes to America for me: Richard Foote, II

The list of children for Robert and Dionis is from the About of Robert Foote of London

John Foote
Birth: November 18, 1610 Cardinham, Cornwall, England (United Kingdom)
Death: 1653 Devonshire, England (United Kingdom)

son of Robert Foote, Jr. MP
Gender: Male
Birth: 1577
Shalford, Essex, England, United Kingdom
Death: September 04, 1646 (68-69)
London, Middlesex, Greater London, England, United Kingdom
and
Dionis Foote (unknown) MP
Gender: Female
Birth: circa 1583
London, Middlesex, England (United Kingdom)
Death: August 16, 1630 (42-51)
St. Dunstan In The East, London, Middlesex, England (United Kingdom)
Place of Burial: St Dunstans In East London, London, England, United Kingdom

I do not know if the location is correct.

Robert & Dionis are fine, Richard Foote, II Richard Foote, of London, a merchant & John Foote, Gent. need work

They are from Cornwall, not London, so I have trouble accepting the accuracy. ill make a separate John son of Robert & Dionis based on Foote Family. He won’t be born in Cornwall.

---

Richard was born in 1632 and is the son of John Foote and Ellen Barwis. He is the father of Richard Foote, who settled in Virginia. He died about 1683.

That’s all I know - a different Foote family.
