How Foote came to be in the new world
Hayward hired Richard Foote as an agent to travel to Virginia scouting venture
opportunities. As Hayward continued to scout financial backing in London, Richard Foote married during one of his return trips to London. His betrothed was Hester Hayward, daughter of Nicholas. Richard and Hester Hayward Foote produced a son, also named Richard. Alliances strengthened.
Richard Foote, now Hayward’s son-in-law volunteered to relocate his family from London to Virginia to oversee development of “a towne with convenient fortifications.”
