The Descendants of
Josiah Churchill & Elizabeth Foote
Josiah Churchill was born around 1615 in England and was an early settler of Wethersfield, Connecticut. He and Elizabeth Foote were married in Wethersfield in 1638. Her father, Nathaniel Foote, was one of the founders of Wethersfield. The descendants of Josiah and Elizabeth were numerous and intermarried with many of the well-known early families of Connecticut and Massachusetts. This book details the first four generations of the family and gives the names of generation five. The Ancient History of Wethersfield published in 1904 by Henry R. Stiles gives some branches of the family but focuses on those remained in the area. Another source of information on the Connecticut line of the Churchill family appears in The Churchill Family in America by Gardner Asaph Churchill and Nathaniel Wiley Churchill. This book, also published in 1904, include information on the three other early Churchill immigrants. While far more extensive than Stile’s book, this volume omits the female lines and gives little documentation All of the material from earlier studies on these families is included the new genealogy. Corrections based on new research are made. In addition, the female lines are followed and extensive biographical material is added. Detailed source references are given, often to primary records. Along with the text are a few inscriptions and photographs of tombstones. There are indexes of people and places. The book is bound in soft-cover and is printed on acid-free paper.
