We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

Joshua Foote

Male - 1655



  • Name Joshua Foote 
    Gender Male 
    Occupation Ironmonger in London 
    Death Oct 1655  Providence, Providence, Rhode Island Find all individuals with events at this location 
    Notes 
    • Emigrated to Roxbury MA about 1653 and removed shortly to Providence RI. Joshua emigrated with Henry Fowler, who is an ancestor of the compiler of this genealogy. Henry went to Providence with Joshua and married Rebecca Newell, daughter of

      Abraham Newell of Roxbury MA, there.

      From Clara Hart Kennedy's 'Edward Hart Descendants and Allied Families' (1939): Henry Fowler arrived with Joshua Foote in 1652/53. Joshua, "friend and patron" of Henry, had land in both Roxbury MA (his land was next to Abraham Newell's) and

      Providence RI. Henry accompanied Joshua to Providence in January 1654, which is most likely where Henry married Rebecca Newell in 1655.

      Some genealogies of the Fowler family list Henry as having married Rebecca daughter of Joshua Foote, but this is apparently mistaken.

      Though Joshua's birthyear isn't listed he was probably at least 50 years old when he emigrated. Several of his children, who would have been adults themselves by 1650, appear to have remained in London ENG.
