Biography
Jonathan, the son of William and Abigail Bourne Bassett, was born at Sandwich in 1721.[1] He married Mary Freeman in November of 1748.[2]
Research Notes
From FamilySearch: "Jonathan Bassett named his daughter "Mary Bassett" in his will (written and probated in 1772), indicating that in 1772 Mary was still unmarried. A few months later, Mary Bassett died in Sandwich - CHILDLESS AND UNMARRIED. Her tombstone is engraved with her name Mary Bassett, dates, and her relationship to her parents. See "Memories" for a photo of her tombstone. This deceased teenager is not the same Mary Bassett who married Barnabus Hamblin and had multiple children and died in Vermont.
Jonathan Bassett & Mary Freeman had two children: Deliverance and Mary.
This Jonathan Bassett is the son of William Bassett IV, son of William Bassett III, son of William Bassett II, son of William Bassett (I) of Plymouth.
ALERT!! There are two men named Jonathan Bassett living in Barnstable county during this time period. Each man married a woman named Mary, and both had a daughter named Mary -- this is why there is so much confusion between these two families. The other Jonathan Bassett who left Barnstable county to settle on inherited land in Connecticut is the father of Mary Bassett who married Barnabus Hamblin. "
