Bassett Burwell of œEltham was Burgess for New Kent, 1762-1774). Burwell married for his second wife Anna Maria Dandridge, sister to Martha Washington (wife of President George Washington). His daughter also married a nephew of President George Washington.
Burwell Bassett, son of William and Elizabeth (Churchill) Bassett, of Eltham, was born 3 Mar 1734 at Eltham. He died on 4 Jan 1793 at Eltham. He was frequently a member of the House of Burgesses. He was active as a patriot during the Revolution. He married (1) Anne Chamberlayne, daughter of John Chamberlayne, when he was 19. They had no children. He married (2) Anna Maria Dandridge, daughter of John Dandridge and sister of Martha Washington, on 7 May 1757. Anna Maria was born on 30 Mar 1739. She died on 17 Dec 1777. He was Burgess for New Kent, 1762-1774; member of the County Committee of Safety, 1775-6; of the Conventions of 1775, 1776 and 1788; of the State Senate, 1780 and 1788; and of the House of Delegates, 1789.
Burwell Bassett and General George Washington were intimate friends and brothers-in-law, and it is certain that George Washington spent more time at Eltham than at any private home in America outside of Mt. Vernon.
He visited Eltham frequently, stopping on his way to Williamsburg to meetings of the General Assembly, and on business trips to the Pamunkey River Estates of which he had charge for the Custis Heirs. He hunted at Eltham, he fished for sturgeon in the Pamunkey, he hauled seine, and visited in the neighborhood. There are many records of his social activities with Col. Burwell Bassett in New Kent around Eltham.,,
