This article presents the case for the "Robert Foote" of an anonymous pedigree found in British Museum Additional MSS 5533, folio 99 (see citation from Genealogical Gleanings) being in fact John Foote of Royston, tallow chandler, whose will was probated 18 July 1558.
The anonymous pedigree 'says that the said Robert "descended out of Lincolnshire" and married an unknown woman who married, second, ----- Hall, "sgt trumpeter to Queen Elizabeth." On the basis of the evidence presented in the reference cited, this Robert had sons Robert and John and daughters Elizabeth and Alice, ... In addition the will of John Foote of Royston, tallow chandler, undated but probated 18 July 1558 ... reveals that he had a wife named Helen, sons Robert and John, daughters Aves or Avis and Elizabeth. ...
The name of John's wife is given in his will as Helen, and he died before 18 July 1558. On 19 Jan. 1558/9 at St. Peter Cornhill in London there is recorded the wedding of "John Haull, trumpetor and Ellen Foote, Widowe." ... Therefore, it seems highly probable that the earliest ancestors of Nathaniel Foote known were John Foote and his wife Helen or Ellen Waryn or Warren.'
