The Burgess Genealogy (Y) says that he married, as first wife, Esther Bassett, daughter of William, about 1655 at Yarmouth. However we find no record of a daughter of William Bassett named Esther, or of any other daughter listed as having married a Nickerson. We do note that the first two children are named Esther and William, and the third, Elizabeth. which was the name of a Bassett daughter who married Thomas Burgess, Jr. Further search may disclose records of a daughter, Esther.
