• Birthplace seen as Weathersfield, Braintree District, Essex, England (United Kingdom) without supporting evidence
• http://terrybasye.com/Genealogy.htm: ”Other Basyes settled early in the colonies, but their possible relationship to our family (Edmond Basye) cannot be established. One John Basye settled in Hartford, Connecticut, prior to 1640. He was a weaver, and his house was located on the south side of the road from the mill to the south meadow, which is now Elm Street. He held a number of local public offices (Surveyor of Highways, 1652; Constable, 1656; and Townsman, 1669). He came from Wethersfield Parish, Essex, England. Other Basyes of the same period settled in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.”
