About Burwell Bassett
Burwell Bassett, Jr. was an American planter and politician from New Kent County and for two decades from Williamsburg in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Like his father, he served in both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly, and in addition won election several times to the United States House of Representatives, where he served for more than a decade in three different districts, because of census-required reorganizations.
