| Notes |
- The estate of John Bassett, late of Marblehead, fisherman, was divided as follows: Part of the dwelling house and 1/8 of cow commonage was divided into three parts, being as many as we think it can be divided into without prejudicing the whole. No. 1 to his only son John Bassett, he to pay 20 pounds, 13 shillings, 4 pence each to his sisters Sarah Lewis, Deliverance Morgan and Rebecca Harris. No. 2 was settled on Charity Bassett, a daughter of the deceased, and on her heirs, and Charity is to pay her sister, Rebecca Harris, 4 pounds, 6 shillings, 8 pence. No. 3 was settled on Rebekah Harris, a daughter of the deceased and now wife to Robert Harris, as final payment of the estate. (From the Essex Genealogist, Volume 18, Number 1).
