Sir Thomas Basset, both majors-general in the Sir Francis Basset, the sheriff, was with the king at Lestwithiel, when Essex's army surrendered; and his majesty, Sir Francis relates, in a letter to his wife, then said to him, "I now leave, Mr. Sheriff, the county of Cornwall to your protection." Owing, however, to the large sums of money disbursed in this unhappy struggle, the family became considerably reduced in circumstances; but its fortunes were at length retrieved by intermarriages with heiresses. The issue and heir of one of those, the heiress of Pendarves, JOHN-PENDARVES BASSET, esq. m.

Arms-Or, three bars wavy gu. Immediately after the Norman conquest, arose into power and importance, particularly in the midland counties, the great baronial family of BASSETT, which gave a chief-justice to England in the reign of HENRY I. in the person of Ralph Basset; from whom sprung the Lords Basset, of Drayton, the Lords Basset, of Hedendon, &c. &c. About the middle of the twelfth century, the Bassets, of Cornwall, obtained the estate of Tehidy by marriage with the heiress of the great house of De Dunstanville, from which period they appear to have enjoyed considerable wealth and influence until the civil wars. At that momentous cri BASTARD, OF KITLEY, WILLIAM BASTARD, esq. of Kitley, descended from a very ancient Devonshire family, having during the war with France rendered essential service to government by conducting from Plymouth to Exeter a large number of French prisoners confined in the arsenal of the former place, for the removal of whom no troops could be spared from the garrison, already in sufficient for the defence of the place, was created a BARONET by King GEORGE III. The title was gazetted in 1779, but has never been adopted. Had it been assumed by the family, Edmund Pollexfen Bastard, esq. of Kitley, in Devon, late M.P. for that county, would be the baronet.

In 1666 this gentleman and his two brothers, who all appear to have been engaged in commercial pursuits, sustained great losses by the dreadful fire of that year in London: many of their houses were burnt, and their property and papers destroyed. Sir Thomas's house in Coleman Street was so damaged that he left it and went to reside at Isleworth, and soon after at Chelsea, where he rented, in 1670, a house of Mr. Cheney, who married the Duke of Norfolk's daughter.
