Pasko, b. ca. 1695, RI, to Jeremiah and Elizabeth (Whitford???)
Pasko Austin was born about 1693-1698 in Rhode Island to Jeremiah Austin and his wife Elizabeth. Pasko named a son Pasko, born about 1735, and who migrated from Rhode Island to New York.
The name Pasko (or Pasco, Pasquo, etc.) is relatively unusual, and so one immediately suspects that this Pasko Austin might have been related to Pasco Whitford, born ca. 1640 and died in Rhode Island ca. 1690.
I am proposing, as a THEORY for further research, that Pasco Whitford had not only the widely-reported sons Nicholas and Pasco "junior", but also a daughter Elizabeth, who married Jeremiah Austin, son of Robert Austin, of Kings Town, Rhode Island. This Elizabeth (Whitford) Austin named a son Pasko after her own father.
