John Foote, Jr. House (1780)

A sign on the house at 360 Cherry Brook Road in Canton gives a date of 1743, but according to the Canton Sesquicentennial, 1806-1956, A Short History of Canton, p. 99, it was built about 1780 by John Foote, Jr. (1760-1803). His son, Lancel Foote (1790-1865), was chosen a deacon in the Congregational Church in 1839 and was superintendent of the Sunday School organized in 1819. Lancel Foote also held many town offices and was a representative to the state legislature.
