Thomas Foote

For the U.S. diplomat, see Thomas M. Foote.

Sir Thomas Foote, 1st Baronet (1592 – 12 October 1687) was a wealthy grocer of London.

In 1646 he was made a Sheriff of London and in 1649 elected Lord Mayor of London. He represented London in the First and Second Protectorate Parliaments.

He had four daughters:

Priscilla Foote, married Sir Francis Rolle (d. 1686) on 23 January 1654
Mary Foote, married Sir Arthur Onslow, 1st Baronet as his second wife
Sarah Foote, married first Sir John Lewis, 1st Baronet (d. 1671) and second Denzil Onslow (d. 1721) (younger brother of Arthur)
Elizabeth Foote, married Sir John Cutler, 1st Baronet (1607–1693) as his second wife

Foote was created a baronet, of London, on 21 November 1660. While he left no sons to succeed him, his son-in-law, Arthur Onslow, obtained a reversion to Foote's baronetcy in 1674, and so became a baronet upon Foote's death in 1687 (with precedency of 1660).
