The family tradition was written down by William Whitford of Addison, VT (son of Peleg, Pasco, Nicholas, Pasco) and states that Pasco and his two sons came to Rhode Island from the West Indies, having been driven out of that location by the French, during the naval warfare between England and France. They fled to Rhode Island, settling in Portsmouth then East and West Greenwich. (William Whitford's "Narrative of the Whitford Family" in the Vermont His. Soc. Collections).
