He dies in 1863 in Poolesville, Maryland of pneumonia. Minerva Foote continued to live in the house, expanded it some time in the late l860s or early l870s, and continued to occupy it until her death in 1882. The house was passed to the Foote's daughter Mary Foote Nutting and her husband T. Dwight Nutting. The Nuttings soon moved, however, and ownership of the house transferred to two of Dr. Foote's sons, James L. and Charles C. Foote. The brothers in turn gave the house to the United Presbyterian and Congregational Church of Milford, which used the house as its manse from 1889 to 1911. Since that time, the house had a variety of owners, including the Milford Historical Society and Muriel Valley Foote, wife of William Henderson Foote, a great great grandson of the original owner.

The loyalists of the Union in the North proclaimed support for the Constitution. They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South, who advocated for states' rights to uphold slavery.
