So good of you to offer look-ups...you'll undoubtedly be swamped! Would you
look up William Bassett who came on the Fortune in 1621. He was married to
an Elizabeth (possibly Tilden). Also his son, Nathaniel, who married (2)
Dorcas Joyce. Where did you get such a treasure? I'd love to get my hands
on it! Thanks lots. Leslie Robison

Charles Henry Pope's "Pioneers of Massachusetts" says this:

I got my copy of Pope's book (thick paperback) from HERITAGE BOOKS,
INC. 1540 Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie, Maryland 20716, (301) 390-7709.
They also have a web site that givs their 800 number. You can send
for a free catalog. The listings change frequently so if you don't fine
Pope's book in it, just ask them. I paid about $35 for it.
