Another good posting Kay.
Do you have any insight on how the marriage of Josiah Churchill and Elizabeth Foote might have happened?
Was it custom in those early times for boy to meet girl and quickly marry? Or was it a long courtship? Was it not considered a man must be "established" before marriage??
The reason for above is Josiah was first recorded re his Wethersfield marriage of 1638. Yet,Nathaniel Foote (Elizabeth's father) was among the original arrivals, abt 1635.
Did Josiah possibly meet Elizabeth in Watertown, Ma., from whence the Footes migrated? Or, perhaps in Colchester, England, the city just NE of London, Foote's original English home?
Foote ancestral sources claim descendancy to a Lord Mayor of London.
And, London, of course, is where the merchant Joseph Churchill, who some sources claim is the father of Josiah, carried on his mercantile business.
Is there anyway to expand on this?
