This appears to be a connection with my Foster family which leads back to the Bassetts. According to American's of Gentle Birth and Their Ancestors, p. 287:
Bassett - This family was of the Isle of Wight, William, of Newport, had one son, William Bassett, of Southampton, England, captain in the British army at Dunkirk, who came to America and setttled in New Kent Co., VA, 1671. He married Bridget Cary. Their son, William, of Eltham, born 1670, in his will styles himself "Gent" of the parish of Blissland, New Kent Co. etc, etc.
Old New Kent County Some Account of The Planters, Plantations, and Places in New Kent County., Vol. I, p. 139 is about my Foster family which also has a small mention of the Bassetts.
I have not researched the Bassett family, so do not know any more.
I am descended through Joseph Foster, who's daughter Lucy married Mosias (not Josias) Jones.
