    The earlier posts do not say that this line was not "of Fledburgh" but
    rather that the connection between the Fledburgh line and the other Bassetts cannot be firmly determined - which I think is still true. One earlier post suggested that this Thomas Bassett was the one otherwise said to be "of Brailsford" and thus son of Sir John of Chedle, ancestor of the Blore Bassetts. The Notts visitations give another hypothesis, that the Fledburgh Bassetts were descended from an uncle of Sir Ralph Bassett of Sapcote, who was summoned to Parliaments in 1371 and 1372 and thus deemed by later
    peerage compilers to be Lord Basset of Sapcote [se CP 2:8]. But the visitation pedigrees, while outlining a purported Bassett of Fledburgh descent for a few generations, show a gap before our Thomas and do not explicitly connect him to the earlier ones, while still calling him "of Fledborough".
    FWIW, there's a note in CP 2:7 that R. E. Chester Waters, "The Family of Chester of Chicheley", pp. 197-9, has "much valuable information respecting the family of Basset of Sapcote" and thus might shed some light if there is in fact a connection between the Sapcote and Fledburgh Bassetts.
    This line, and specifically the Fledburgh connection, continues to be a mystery to me....

    Does the Visitation make it specific that the Basset's were "of Fledburgh"
    ?
    because a recent post on this thread, said that this line of Basset's were
    not.
    Thanks
