Steven,
The Great Migration Begins,Immigrants to New England 1620-1633, Vol.I, Robert Charles Anderson,New England Historic Genealogical Society,Boston,1995 under William Bassett lists six children with the comment that "Munsey-Hopkins lists a "probable" seventh child, a daughter Jane who married Thomas Gilbert. This must be a simple error in which "Rossiter" was misread for "Bassett" as there was a Thomas Gilbert of Taunton who married Jane Rossiter." Since this book (or these books as there are several) is the quintesential resource for current study of the period I think it is pretty sure there is no Jane. No record of her is found with this family. There is no record of a Jane in my family papers,either, and they have come down for centuries. I descend from the Williams to Nathaniels.
