George Foote, lived first in St. Paul's parish, Stafford Co., and afterwards in Fauquier Co., where he died. He married first on Dec 31, 1731, Frances Berryman, of Washington Parish, Westmoreland Co., (St. Pauls's Register) and secondly (according to Hord), Anne James. Howere his will gives the name of his wife as mary, so no doubt the second wife was Mary James.
