Birth Date: 1622 Birth Place: England Death Date: 6 Nov 1665 Death Place: New Haven And you will see that William Ives married BOTH William Bassett and William Ives. There are sources for both.
Name: Hannah Dickerman Gender: Female Spouse Name: William Ives Spouse Birth Year: 1607 Marriage Year: 1642 Number Pages: 1
Name: Hannah Bassett [Hannah Ives] Maiden Name: Dickerman Gender: Female Marriage Date: 7 Nov 1648 Marriage Place: New England, USA Spouse: William Bassett
I reviewed Hannah's entry at FindAGrave.
See also:
I also reviewed the entry for William Ives in New England Marriages prior to 1700. (By subscription, see AmericanAncestors.)
This entry calls her "Hannah [?Dickerman]." The works consulted for that New England Marriages … entry are, "New Haven Gen. Mag. 148, 910; Ludington-Saltus 89; Curtis 38; Marks-Platt 29, 67, 95; Sv. 1:136; Merriman 139; Goodyear 153; Dickerman 1:18; Miner Anc. 35; Basset Reunion 1:18; Beach Anc. (1926) 60; Reg. 81:126; Smith-Brayan 112; Keeler-Wood 327; Randall Anc. 443; Hall-Baldwin 107."
Might you know which of the New England Marriages .. works consulted helps to identify her as "Hannah" and as possibly Hannah Dickerman? Especially important are the references in those materials to primary sources.
As this impacts say 6 or 7 profiles, suspect this would be best sorted via a G2G from Hannah's profile.
Separately, her profile woud benefit by adding links to the sources listed, especially those in the public domain (most of the reference notes seem to refer to materials likely to be in the public domain).
Again, thanks. --Gene
Edited to add: Appears a review of New England Marriages ... works consulted has been made. See comments appended to the list of "Torrey's New England Marriages." None of these seem to make the argument with source details that she is Hannah Dickerman.
Does appear this will require a deeper analysis as to what "brother" could mean. Even if the link can not be proven as yet, there ought to be good research notes all all the relevant profiles with cross links.
P.S. In the comments appended to New England Marriages ... on Hannah's profile for Dickerman (1897) "claims no such relationship" might be better said as, "reports no such relationship."

Imho Thomas Jr. came from the marriage of Thomas Dickerman Sr. to Mary ("Marie") Custace at St. Clement Dane, Westminster, 3 Nov 1622. The handwriting of the parish clerk is generally very clear, but the initial letter of the bride's surname is a bit puzzling, I will admit. However, if you compare all of the initial letters of the various brides named "Elizabeth" on those pages, you will see that Thomas Dickerman's wife was probably named Custace. But then the clerk used a different form of "C" for the marriage of somebody named "Clerke," so it's a bit puzzling.
Then there's also the matter of the marriage of a Thomas Dickerman in 1613 to Elizabeth Sims (Kew archives). The name is so extremely rare in English records that I think that we should leave open the possibility that Thomas was closer to 65 than 60 at the time of his death, such that he could have been the groom of 1613.
See Edward Holden, "Depositions from the Files of Suffolk," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, 20 (1866):143 (1658 entry); digital images, InternetArchive.
In the Bullard-Hewens deed (1665), there is no special condition shown for a child born to some other mother when she refers to the division of the estate "between her & her Children, the youngest of wch having attayned to the age of one & twenty yeares."
