The origin of the tradition that Genevieve Basse married "Captain Peter Knight" is unknown and the tradition is apparently unsourced. It is likely a case of conflation between Peter Knight (1587-bef.1674), Merchant of Gloucester and Captain Peter Knight (bef.1620-bef.1705). Peter Knight, Merchant, was granted a land patent for 255 acres in Isle of Wight County, Virginia.

The Captain Peter Knight that married Anne Hawley was born in 1620. So Captain Peter Knight can not be either the husband of Genevieve Basse, or the son of another Peter Knight and Genevieve Basse.

Origins

Genevieve Basse was the eighth of twelve children. Her parents were Nathaniel Bass (b. baptised 29 Dec 1589, at the Church of St. Gabriel, Fenchurch Street, London, Middlesex, England) and Mary Jordan. Nathaniel Basse married Mary Jordan 21 May 1613, in London, Middlesex, England. "Nathaniell Basse and Mary Jordan was married ye 21 day of May in ye year of our blessed Lord and Saviour 1613." (Family Bible Records)

It is believed that Nathaniel Basse brought his children back to London after the 1622 Indian Massacre; however, Nathaniel continued making trips to the colonies.

Anne Basse was born on 9 October 1624 She was born ten minutes earlier than her twin Genevieve.1 She was the daughter of Nathaniel Basse & Mary Jordan.
