Collection Overview

Collection Description & Creator Information

Scope and Contents

The final series, "Family Records," dates from 1790 to 1925, and deals largely with Foote's children and grandchildren, but also contains a small amount of material regarding his own estate. Family members included are his father, Daniel Foote; his daughters, Harriet Foote Bryan (later Foote) and Margaret P. Foote Maxwell; his sons, Charles Augustus Foote and Frederick Parsons Foote; and his son-in-law, Reverend Ebenezer K. Maxwell. Also included, in Harriet Bryan's material, are the court records making her guardian of her brother Charles' children (Frances, Catherine B., Rensselaer, Charles, and James), all of whom were minors at the time of their father's death. Of interest are notes of Reverend Ebenezer K. Maxwell, which probably are for sermons given at the First Presbyterian Church of Delhi, New York.
