Pedigree
ChartsAncestors of William Jerome Pierce
Sarah (…), whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), married William Bassett, son of Roger Bassett and Ann Holland, in 1646.1,2

Sarah was NOT the daughter of her husband's step-father, Hugh Burt, as is sometimes speculated. There is no mention of her in any passenger lists; she is not listed in the baptism records of St. Martins with the rest of Hugh's children; she is not listed in Hugh's will; William Bassett is listed as son, but this is a step relationship.

There was another Hugh Burt in Lynn at the time, but if he had a daughter Sarah is not known. The 1963 Elwell book by Van Name records her as Sarah Hunt, but gives no reference.3,4
