My William Bassett was son of Roger and Ann Holland Bassett.His father died in England and William came to
Mass. with Mother and stepfather, Hugh Burt.Our bunch was
mixed up in the Witchtrials and somewhere I had found where
Ann Holland Bassett Burt was accused of witchcraft some years prior to the infamous trials of 1692.She used herbs
to help doctor people and was accused of being witch.We
are kin to Elwells, Abbotts and the Wallings of early New
England.I had wondered about the Bassetts of the furniture line as they came down to Patrick/Henry County, VA
rather early according to what is in the book on early Patrick and Henry County, VA.Thanks for the link.
