Biography

Pasco Foote Jr. was baptized 6 Dec 1652 at Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts, son of Pasco Foote and (Unknown) Foote ^[1]; died abt 1684 at New London, New London Co., Connecticut ^[2] ; married (1st) 2 Dec 1668 Martha Warde (b. abt 1650) at Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts ^{[3] [4]}  ; married (2nd) 30 Dec 1678 at Amesbury, Essex Co., Massachusetts Margaret Stallion, daughter of Edward Stallion ^[5]

Frances Calkins, in her "History of New London" (1860) notes the following on Pasco Foote Jr.: ^[6]

"We can scarcely err in assuming that he was son of Pasco Foote, of Salem, and that he was the Pasco Foote, Jr., of the Salem records, who married 2 10th month, 1668, Martha Wood (sic), and of whose marriage three sons are the recorded issue, Malachi, Martha and Pasco (Goodwin's Genealogy, page 292). He appears in New London as a mariner, engaged in the Newfoundland trade, and marries November 30th, 1678, Margaret, daughter of Edward Stallion. Three children were the issue of this marriage, whose births are not recorded, Isaac, Stallion, and Margaret. Edward Stallion , the grandfather, by a deed of adoption, took the second son, Stallion, for his own child, and at the same time, Pasco Foote settled his house and land in New London, on his youngest child, Margaret. These deeds, executed January 6th, 1683-4, give us our latest information of Pasco Foote. His relict married James Haynes, in 1687 or 1688.

Stallion Foote died in 1710, leaving a wife, Ann, and an only child, of his own name, 'Stallion,' who died suddenly at the house of John Williams, on Groton bank, January 9th, 1714-15. aged six years. On the 7th of March succeeding the death of the child, an entry was made on the New London record, of the following import: 'Isaac, son of Pasco Foote, late of New London, deceased, and Margaret his wife, hath desired his name may be now recorded, Isaac, alias Stallion Foote.' This person after 1715 , disappears from our records."
