Paper trail
First Generation
A William Bassett was apparently a member of Rev. John Robinson's congregation in Leiden. According to Leiden records, he was first married (possibly in England) to Cecily Light, then was bethrothed at Leiden in Mar 1611 to Mary Butler (who died shortly thereafter) and was married Leiden 12 Aug 1611 to Margaret Oldham.
The William Bassett of Plymouth had a wife named Elizabeth. Some have suggested she was the Elizabeth Neal of Scrooby (where Elder William Brewster was from) who married at Leiden 27 Dec 1611 William Buckram.
Robert Charles Anderson, in his The Pilgrim Migration: Immigrants to Plymouth Colony 1620-1633 (New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, 2004) pp. 48-52 casts doubt upon both identifications primarily due to the fact William and Elizabeth had no children recorded in the 1623 Plymouth Land Division. Given the high infant mortality of the time, it is not impossible for the couple to have no surviving children.
In any case, Elizabeth, wife of William Bassett of Duxburrow (now Duxbury) died and William married bef DEC 1664 Mary TILDEN Lapham (no children). William died Bridgewater between 3 Apr 1667 (Will) - 12 May 1667 (inventory). He and wife Elizabeth had the following children: William (c1624), Elizabeth (c1626), Sarah (c1628), Nathaniel (c1630), Joseph (c1632) and Ruth (c1635).
Second Generation
William Bassett (II) was born sometime shortly after the Plymouth 1623 land division and died Sandwich 1670.[1] He married Boston about 1652 Mary Rainsford and they are credited as having the following children: Mary (1654), William (1656), Thomas (c1659), Sarah (c1662), Richard (c1665) and Nathan (1667).
Third Generation
- ↑ The exact date of death is in dispute. Some say 10 May 1670 while others state 10 Jun 1670 and still others have 1 Jul 1670. The inventory of his estate was dated 1 Aug 1670.
DNA Results R1b-FT72161
Previous testing
FTDNA's Bassett Family DNA y-chromosome Study Subgroup: Bassett of Plymouth have a number of individuals who have Y-DNA tested. Two of the individual have done Big Y testing with one falling under R-U106>>Z381>>Z9>>Z8>BY18846>BY18848>S20422>BY87384>FT72161 with the second one under a subclade of FT72161>BY147230.
NGS/WGS testing
NGS/WGS testing is needed to confirm the prediction (above) as well as potentially further refine the haplogroup.
