Welcome to the first of what I hope will be many articles devoted to Pasco Foote of Salem and his descendants. I'm Harriet Rockwell, a 13th generation descendant of Pasco, and I'll be collecting information to share with other FFAA members in this column.
I'm really excited about this new venture and I hope that you'll help me make it an interesting and informative one.
In a future issue of "Footeprints" I'd like to include a list of the Pasco descendants who are currently members of FFAA, so please send me your Pasco lineage as soon as possible.
Ed Strickland, is working hard updating and making corrections to the "Foote History and Genealogy" written by Abram W. Foote. Wouldn't it be great to have our Pasco branches contained in the updated volumes.
Unfortunately, not nearly as much is known about Pasco Foote of Salem as is known about Nathaniel Foote of Wethersfield, Connecticut. Pasco's line appears in Abram Foote's two volume work, but we find only 18 pages covering this Foote line in Volume 1 and only 19 in Volume 2.
I'll look forward to hearing from anyone with information on Pasco they would like to share. My E-mail address is: hrockwell@earthlink.net Note: Lengthy lineages and long articles should be sent to my snail-mail address: 1177 Fearrington Post, Pittsboro, NC 27312.

Manchester by the Sea While tracing your ancestors, don't overlook the wealth of information to be found by visiting the towns where they lived and reading the histories of those towns. This article tracks the history of the fishing industry in New England.
Zachariah Foote and the Migration to Nova Scotia At some point, most of us have read about the historic events that led to the migration of scores of New England colonists to Nova Scotia in the 18th century. For those of us with an ancestor who took part in that migration, the story is especially fascinating.
Sherburn Wesley Burnham, - Double Star Descendant of Pasco Foote Descendants of Pasco Foote can proudly claim the nineteeth century astronomer, Sherburne Wesley Burnham, as kin. The story of this self-made man, who was an important contributor to the study of double stars, is an interesting one. Sherburne Wesley Burnham was born December 12, 1838 in Thetford, Vermont, the son of Marinda Foote and Roswell Burnham

The First Three Generations of Pasco Foote
Settler of Salem, MA
(from FOOTE HISTORY & GENEALOGY, Abram W Foote, Vol I.)
An e-mail request was received recently from Shirley Foote, whose husband is a descendent of Pasco Foote. She said that they had become members of the FFAA about two years ago and noticed that most of the information contained in Footeprints was regarding Nathaniel's line.
Since she was interested in information on Pasco's line, we thought others would also be interested as well. Carolyn "Sue" P. Jordan, FFAA Genealogist, was kind enough to provide the first three generations of Pasco Foote in response to Shirley's request.
