History: The surname Bascom was first brought to North America in 1635 by Thomas Bascom (1602–82) from England, who settled in Northampton, MA. He is the ancestor of the great majority of the Bascoms in the US and is believed to be of Huguenot stock. He is listed in the register of Huguenot ancestors recognized by the Huguenot Society of America, while the (US) National Huguenot Society's register of qualified Huguenot ancestors lists his great-grandfather, Robert Bascom (or Bascome or Bascomb or Bascombe), who reportedly fled with his son Jean from France to England c. 1537. It were two of Thomas' nephews who reportedly brought the surname Bascom or its variants to West Indies. However, proof of a French Huguenot origin for the name is difficult to substantiate.
