Person:Samuel Foote (17)

Baptized at the 1st Church of Salem ( as an Elder Child) He was killed by Indians, son John administered his estate ["THE RELATIONSHIP OF DECENDANCY FROM PASCO HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN POSITIVLY"; Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury Massachesetts by David W Hoyt (1897)]

Savage & other have concurred on the relationship. Samuel's baptism on 6 Dec 1652 along with that of his brother and sisters proves the credibility of Savage's hypothecation. The relationship is further proved by being named in his father's will in 1670 and the probated thereof in 1671.

From the History of Amesbury & Merrimac. MA by Joseph Merrill (1814-1898) published by F P Stiles of Haverhill in 1880: "Capt. Samuel Foot died July 7th (1690). He was not a signer of the articles, but came to town (Amesbury) about 1658 when he was choen one of a committee to lay out the river lots. He drew lot #1, which lay on the western side of the Buttonwood Road, but cut off from the river by John Weed's 10 acre lot. He was made a townsman Dec. 10th,1660, and afterwards recieved nnumerous grants of land. He held many offices, and was representative in the 1689 and was on of the favored three who were seated at the "tabell" in the church in 1667. He lived at Jamaco and is very probable probable that his house was a "Garrison house," several times spoken of as "Capt Foots Fort." Judging from his frequesnt services, he must have been specially fitted to preside ober town meetings, and was, no doubt, a man of more than ordinary dicision and ability.

Dr Parish in his history of New England says: "Amesbury was assaulted, three persons killed and three houses burned, and Capt. Foot was tortured to death." No mention is made of such fact on the Amesbury records".

13 Feb 1661 he was a witness on a deed of a house lot in Salisbury, Essec, MA from Thomas Carty to Richard Goodale,Sr.
