FASSETT.
| PATRICK1 FASSETT and his w. Sarah came from Rock Fassett Castle, Ireland, and settled in Lexington, Mass. There is a tradition that the ancestors of the family were refugees who fled from Scotland to escape religious persecution, and that the name Fassett was assumed to conceal their identity, the original family name being Macpherson. The proper English pronunciation of the name Fassett gives the broad sound to the a, and in England as well as in this country, some branches of the family spell the name Fawcett or Fossett, as being less liable to mispro- nunciation. The final consonant is often written single. The oldest ch. of Patrick and Sarah was,

Isabel Bogle, of Natick, Mass., which may indicate that he lived in N. after attaining his majority. Her father and mother were natives of Scotland. G. B. The w. of John Shirley (g.r.), Submit Bogle, was a niece of Mrs. F. After the formation of the chh. in F. Mrs. F. was admitted on letter from the chh. in Templeton, Mass., which makes it quite certain that they lived in T. before settling in F.
