&#13;
Abstract: The Foote family owned and operated a tannery in the Traverse City area&#13;
during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This collection of documents&#13;
primarily relates to a descendant of John Newcomb Foote (1825-1902), Clara Foote&#13;
Ferrell, and her membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution organization.&#13;
Documents include photographs, news clippings, certificates, articles, land titles,&#13;
albums, and membership documents related to the Daughters of the American&#13;
Revolution.&#13;
History: John Newcomb Foote (1825-1902) was born in Clinton, Oneida county, New&#13;
York and moved to Wexford county in 1869. Foote found employment at the Traverse&#13;
City Tanney established by the Norris brothers in Norrisville (on the shore two miles&#13;
north of Traverse City, Michigan) during several increments of time beginning in 1871&#13;
and continuing until 1880. In 1880, Foote rented the Norrisville tannery, after which point&#13;
he erected a new building on the bay shore and purchased the stock and machinery of&#13;
the former Norrisville plant. Foote continued operating his tanney business successfully&#13;
until his death in 1902.&#13;
John Newcomb Foote married Miss Virginia Jenison in 1956, and the couple had two&#13;
sons and three daughters: Rose (died at age six), William (b. 1861), John N. (b. 1863),&#13;
Cora (b. 1865), and Clara (b. 1874). John Newcomb Foote II learned the tanning trade&#13;
under his father and eventually became a partner in the tanning business, thereafter&#13;
named Johnson Foote &amp; Son. Both John Newcomb Foote and John Newcomb Foote II&#13;
participated in local politics, each serving as the treasurer of Elmwood Township during&#13;
different periods of time.&#13;
Clara Foote Ferrell married Clarence Willard Ferrell in 1908 in Charlevoix, Michigan.&#13;
Clara was an active member of the John Sackett chapter of the Daughters of the&#13;
American Revolution for fifty + years. The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR)&#13;
is a lineage-based membership service organization for women who claim direct&#13;
descent from individuals who were involved in the American campaign for&#13;
independence. The organization was founded in 1890 and has a central mission of&#13;
promoting historic preservation, education, and patriotism. Clara Foote Ferrell claimed&#13;
membership to the DAR as a descendant of John Foote (a private who served during&#13;
the Revolutionary War), Benjamin Lull, Joseph Lull, Samuel Cunnabell, William&#13;
Newcomb, Peter Jenison, and Ebenezer Knapp.&#13;
