Thurston, whose wife’s name/dates/places are unknown, had six daughters and no son, I cannot find any verifiable birth/death dates for any of the children, except Isabella, so I assume the birth years listed on their individual profiles are unverified! (MedLands say they all died after Jan/Feb 1223).
At the beginning of Henry III reign Thurstan Basset held a small estate consisting of 6 knight's fees and several portions of a fee of the honour of Wallingford.
The principal lands were the manors of Letcombe Basset in Berkshire. Hawkridge Mauduit and Marsworth in Bedfordshire. In 1086 these lands had been held by Robert d'Oilly and during the reign of Henry I they along with the Manor of Chaddleworth. Berkshire came into the hands of the Basset family. who had been sub-tenants on some d'Oilly lands.
