Chapter 1: Early Family Origins
In the icy gray light of a January dawn in 1676, Branford, Connecticut, was quiet but not still. Chimneys smoked from crude stone hearths, and a baby cried in one of the timber-framed houses near the green. That child was Sarah Foote, born to Robert Foote and Sarah Potter, in a town founded just a generation before by men and women seeking stricter adherence to the Puritan covenant than New Haven or Hartford allowed.
