I show Alexander Bassett the son of Rev. Alexander Bassett and Miss Bellamy. This Alexander was the son of Charles Bassett of Sigginstone who was the son of RIchard and Joan (Thomas) Bassett. Please contact me for more information about this line. You can find my contact information at my Bassett website at www.bassett.net/dna where I have posted old newsletters and results from my Bassett DNA project.
