"Nehemiah Bassett4 of Lynn and Charlestown, Mass. b. between 1703 and 1709; son of William and Rebecca {Berry2) Bassett3 of Lynn, Mass. … d. about Oct, 17, 1734; from diary of Zaccheus Collins, now in possession of Essex Institute. Though married in Newbury, he seems not to have lived there long. In the Newbury Records, he is called of Lynn. He appears to have made a runaway match and may have gone to Newbury simply to be married. He died in Charlestown where he probably resided after his marriage; was taxed there in 1733-4 and had his taxes abated for 1734, in 1735. Neither his birth nor that of his brother Isaiah was recorded at Lynn, but they evidently occurred between 1703, the date of their parents' marriage and 1709, when their sister Elizabeth was born."
