Identifies and differentiates the five Bassett men who came early to New England. It should be noted that William² Bassett born ca. 1624 at Plymouth was son of William¹ who came to Plymouth in 1621. The fact that both William² Bassett of Plymouth and William¹ Bassett of Dorking, Surrey and Lynn, were born in 1624 has led to some confusion.
