Disputed origins
According to Gustave Anjou, John Bascom married Jane Beaumont. Anjou asserts that they were the parents of Thomas Bascom, who emigrated to Dorchester in Massachusetts.[1] Anjou also makes John Bascom the son of Robert Bascom and Marie Dornant (here they are shown as his grandparents).
Since no source confirms Great Migration-era immigrant Thomas Bascom's parentage, and John Bascom and Jane Beaumont only appear in Gustave Anjou's notoriously unreliable work, John Bascom and Jane Beaumont have been removed as parents of Thomas. They are probably both imaginary.
This profile previously had unsourced marriage information: July 7, 1600 at Sturminster, Dorset, England. For the lack of valid sources, this has been removed.
Biography
Anjou claimed that this John Bascom was christened 3 JAN 1535 in Montherme, Champaigne, France, and was buried 4 JUN 1579 in France. Uncited sources in online trees claim he was buried 6 APR 1625 in England.

The Bascom and Allied Families by Mrs. Joseph Dayton Bascom, pub. 1932 also follows this lineage back 7-8 generations to France. The Bascom Family online group also think this is their family line, with again, few records. The Fullers, Sissons, and Scotts, our Yeoman Ancestors by Carol Clark Johnson, 1976, Mobile Ala, pub. American International also cites this marriage. This would have Robert Bascom and wife Marie Dornant and their family, including their son Jean moving to London. Robert's grandson, Jean or now referred to as John Basom of Sturminster Marshall marries Jane Bemont. I believe these people were real, but I do not find any records to attach parents for certain. Again, I do not believe this couple is of any lines of the aristocracy. Alternate versions are this family is from the Battiscomb family.
