Notes about ELIZABETH HUCKSTEP (MA) TILDEN

Elizabeth Bassett
Birth: 1600 England
Death: 1645 (aged 44œ45) Plymouth, Plymouth County, Massachusetts, USA
Burial: Burial Details Unknown

Memorial #: 24313403
Bio: 12/22/2021

Elizabeth _________ (unknown maiden name) Bassett. William Bassett's 1st Wife

I recently "inherited" this memorial and based on clear research sent to me, as well as from the best source cited below, the original Bio showing this Elizabeth as having the surname Tilden is flatly incorrect. That Bio remains below for now but should NOT be used. The birth and death information has also been changed to show very general estimated information since exact information is not known. The death estimate could be off by 10 yrs in either direction. She did disappear from the records after 1627 and may have died soon after their last child was born in 1634 or sometime before his 2nd marriage to Mary Tilden, daughter of Nathaniel Tilden, as stated in The Great Migration Begins (see details below).

For the best research on William Basset and his family see the following. I have (for now) posted a pic to help counter the pic posted by "Carl" in 2019 which I cannot remove. Information on the reliability or the lack of it in that source (U.S. and International Marriages...) can be found below. Further pages from the following source can be accessed by members of Ancestry.com or the New England Historical and Genealogical Society.

Title: Great Migration Begins, Vol 1, A-F
Source Information
"Ancestry.com. New England, The Great Migration and The Great Migration Begins, 1620-1635 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2013.
Original data:Anderson, Robert Charles. The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633, Volumes 1-3; The Great Migration: Immigrants to New England, 1634-1635, Volumes 1-6. Boston: New England Historical and Genealogical Society, 1996-2011."

Nathaniel Tilden did NOT have a daughter named Elizabeth and Nathaniel and family did not arrive here until 1634, not in 1621. William Bassett DID marry Nathaniel Tilden's daughter MARY as his 2nd wife, which is in The Great Migration Begins which is cited above. It all adds up to the original Bio below incorrectly using the cited source above and using unsourced material from a record cited below, so the Tilden maiden name has been removed from this memorial and other information changed.

Also, The photo that was posted in 2019 of an Ancestry "record" showing Elizabeth Tilden as William Bassett's wife has no credence as far as being a sound secondary source. That's not to say none of that database's information is accurate but it should not be accepted without further research. Here is the description of it from Ancestry's site:

Thanks for your understanding, John K.

INCORRECT ORIGINAL BIO. DO NOT USE:
Elizabeth is the daughter of Nathanial Tilden and Lydia Hatche Huckstepe.?William Basset married Elizabeth _____ by 1623 (and probably by 1621). She came to Plymouth with him as a passenger on the Fortune in 1621. She appears in no record after 1627, and may have died soon after the birth of the last child about 1634, or she may have lived until just before William Bassett married his second wife.
She & William had six children: William Jr., Elizabeth Burgess, Sarah White, Nathaniel, Joseph & Ruth Sprague Thomas.
