We'll begin with Mary Foote, my 7th great grandmother.

When Mary Foote was born on November 24, 1679, in Wethersfield, Connecticut, her father, Nathaniel, was 32, and her mother, Margaret, was 30. She married Daniel Rose on May 14, 1706, in her hometown. They had 8 children during their marriage. Her death date is unknown.

I have not seen the original birth record, but here is the transcript from the Barbour collection at NEHGS, naming her parents and stating that she was born in Wethersfield.

At the bottom, you can also see a marriage record exists in the Wethersfield town records, showing the marriage date and her father’s name. Mary and Daniel were married by James Treat, JP. (I assume JP is Justice of the Peace.)

We know from Christine Rose and NEHGS that Daniel and Mary had 8 children.

Many experienced researchers before me have tried to find a death date for Mary Foote Rose, but were unsuccessful.
