Am not familiar with the line on which you're seeking information. The name Bassett was originally spelled with one "t" on the end AND as noted in your message, the name is sometimes spelled Baskett. The following represents lineage of my Thomas Bassett [I]: William Bassett b. England, killed in Virginia 1624 Indian Massacre. His son Thomas Bassett I came from England c 1635. [Notes not handy, but seem to recall he married Mary?] He claimed the Estate of William Bassett, York Co., VA. Children: William and Mary. William Bassett b 1643 York Co., VA/d. 1724 Eltham, New Kent Co. VA married first Unknown spouse and second Anne ? Children of William and Unknown Mrs. Bassett: Children of William and Anne Bassett: My line descends from Thomas Bassett II and Elinor through their son Thomas Bassett III b 12-10-1697 in Eltham, New Kent Co., VA. He married Lydia Howle 2-25-1718 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., VA. They migrated to St. Paul's Parish, [Richmond Co.,] Georgia near Augusta.
