England about 1840. A sister of Esther, Betsey came over on the same boat
and married a Merrill in New York City. These Merrills were of the firm
Acker, Merrill & Co. - a large wholesale grocery company with offices on
Lower Broadway. There is a William Bassett and Annie Bassett now past 80
years old living in Westerham now, or were a year ago, whose father was a
brother of Michael Bassett, Kenneth's great-grandfather. Two other
brothers came over also and settled either in Michigan or near London,
Canada, one was a florist."

5 In parish records Thomas is noted
as a farmer. He is also mentioned in records as being paid for thatching a
roof of nerby home. By 1841 it is believed the land he and his family had
leased and lived on was part of the Streatfield family estate.
The farmhouse that Thomas and family lived in was situated at Howe
Green was known as the New Farmhouse in the 1820s/30s. Other Bassett
family members were working and living there but did not own it. In the
later years it became known as the Old Farm House, Howe Green.
Those early buildings were demolished in the 1900s and on the same
site a new farmhouse was built and is now known as The Old Farm House and
it is situated in Station Road Hever.
Thomas may have moved to farm named Seven acres or situated in or
near Sevenoaks. Later he is said to have sold up his farming property and
moved to London to run a hotel. He went broke due to a smallpox epidemic
and returned to live in Roger Street, Chatham until his death. Betsy Sales
