I am descended from William Bassett and Margaret McQuiddy thru their son Thomas (m. Mary Jackson) and his son Stephen (m. Eliza Sebring). Stephen and Eliza are my great great grand parents. Their daughter Lucinda m. John M. Fleming and their son Jess was my grandfather. I am interested in any information you have or any connections you have regarding this line. I am also interested in the light blue eyes you mentioned. My son and 4 of my grand children (his children) have the most amazing light blue eyes. I have recently discovered that one of my brothers also had them. We never understood where they came from. Ever since my son was born 30 years ago, I have had people remark on his eyes (and for the last 8 years on his children's) and how unusual they seem to be. Thank you for any help you can be.
