Need to clarify name of Mary/Elizabeth/or both/Bassett b. ca. 1634 Eng. Wife of Joseph
Foster. She was a sister of Wm. Bassett b.ca.
1630 Eng. who wife was Bridget Carey & were
g-g-grandp. of Wm. Henry Harrison, 9th Pres.
of U.S.
Need to know who the real parents of Mary/
Elizabeth & Wm. were. The following sources
say it was
Wm. Bassett b. ca. 1604 d. 1646 Newport,Isle
of Wight, Eng. & wife Anne ---- b. ca. 1608
d. after 1671 who later remarr. a -----
Dickeson.

The following source says it was

dau. of Wm. Roper & Margaret More & that Margaret dau. of Sir Thos. More 1476-1535 &
Jane Colt of Chelsea, Eng.

Which is right????
I also sent this query to New Kent Co.,Va.
Hist. & Geneal. Soc. to put in their newsletter. If they did, I never heard from anyone. Would certainly appreciate hearing from anyone about this puzzle. It sure would
help a lot of people who are also descended from this same couple. Thank you.
