Dear David: Thank you for your very helpful information on WASSELL and HASSELL. VASSELL, VASSALL is of London as Judith VASSALL, VASSELL, who is mistakenly credited with marrying my ancestor, John PERRY, was the daughter of John VASSALL, VASSELL, "an alderman of London, who had gained high reputation for exertions in organizing resistance to the Spanish Armada, 1588. Source: James Savage, Genealogical Dictioinary of New England Settlers, Vol. IV, p. 367." I have a lot of information on VASSELLs who did come from Caen, Normandy, France to England. They are a very interesting family so I am sorry I do not seem to be descended from them.
