LASELL FAMILY John Lasell i the immigrant ancestor of the Lasell family of Whitinsville Massachusetts settled in Hingham Massachusetts when a young man. He was a French Huguenot but his birthplace and date of birth are not known. We are told that the name was originally La Hassell corrupted to Lazell Lassell and Lasalle. His name appears first in this country on the public records of Hingham when he married November 29 1647 Elizabeth Gates daughter of Stephen and Ann Gates who came to Hingham with their children in 1638.
