Notes:

(Research):ATGG: "Ancestry of Two Great Grandmothers, Esther (Root) Poole, Lois (Sprague) Mears", compiled by Winifred Lovering Holman, S.B., 1938, copy at the NEHGS, - D0007

The only records of Elizabeth do not give any information on her origins or maiden name. She appears as the wife of William Bassett with two children, William and Elizabeth, in the first references to her in the division of cattle in Plymouth. The records from the ship "Fortune" list William Basset and an unnamed member of his household, presumably Elizabeth. The research staff at Plimoth Plantation confirm that they have not uncovered any details on Elizabeth.

Somewhere along the way some researcher has assumed Elizabeth is Elizabeth Tilden, possibly a sister of Mary Tilden, William's wife at the time of his death in 1667. I have not uncovered the source of that assumption.

MARRIAGE: ATGG, pg. 210: Elizabeth prob. mother of children of William Bassett. No reference to surname.

DEATH: ATGG, pg. 204: since William Basset was married to Mary (Tilden) Lapham at his death in 1667, Elizabeth died prior to that year.

See Notes under William Bassett for information on him and his family.
