Bev, Quite an interesting document. Thanks for transcribing it and making it available on GENUKI. I wonder what the impetus for the list was? And your comments about "so many names jump out at one" and "son of Pasco" caught my attention, because the name PASCO seems to occur in Cornwall and Devon but rarely elsewhere, at least in the 17th century. In my recent research in the Tavistock land tax records, I encountered it as a Christian name. The spouse of my 8G Grandaunt was Pasco FOOTE, Jr., a mariner in the Newfoundland trade, 1678; he was the son of Pasco FOOTE, Sr., of Salem, Massachusetts, who died 1671. I'd bet dollars to donuts that his origins are in Cornwall or Devon. A later Pasco FOOT and Martha CARTER were married at Topsham, Devon in 1698, and two of their children (Robert, 1704 and Mary, 1706) were baptized at Topsham.
