My Bass Family Tree, (edited for 2018)
My grandfather (my father's father): George Elmore Rogers, Sr., (1877-1960) born in Galveston, Texas, died in Houston, Texas.

| George Elmore Rogers Sr. |
His mother: Elizabeth Bettie Bass Rogers (1860-1924) (my great-grandmother) born in Old Waverly, San Jacinto County, Texas, died in Galveston,Texas
 |
| Not the Bass plantation house but a typical one in the south US |
Her father: Colonel Richard Bass (1819-1880) born in Perry County, Alabama, died in Waverly, Walker County, Texas.
 |
| Not my great great grandfather, but a Confederate pioneer |
His father: John Bass (1784-1820) born in Wayne County, NC, died in Perry County, Alabama.
 |
| Not John Bass, but a portrait from 1800s |
His father: Edward Bass (c.1761-1802) (birth date and place not yet substantiated, could be Craven or Wayne County, NC; He died in Wayne County, NC.
 |
| Not Edward Bass, but an outfit worn around 1770 |
 |
| Sarah Bass 1764-1849 (the death date isn't the same as Edward's wife, but the birthdate is right) |
His father: Richard Bass (1732-1793) born in Craven County, North Carolina. He died in Wayne County, North Carolina. He also was in the Revolutionary War, but I'll talk about that when I honor his birthday.
NOTE on Richard Bass and Waynesborough... Wayne County NC was the place Richard Bass died in 1793. His uncle Dr. Andrew Bass, b.1735, d. 1791, apparently was one of the early founders of Waynesborough

| Not my relative...George Romney's Young Man with a Flute wears a gold figured waistcoat under his coat, Dallas Museum. |
His father: Richard Taylor Basye (1658-1722) born in Norfolk Independent City, Nansemond County, Virginia
His father: John Basse (1616-1699) born in London, Middlesex County, England, and WIFE: Elizabeth Basse, (a.k.a. Kesiah Tucker, Native American), (1618-1676) born in Kecaughton, Nansemond County, Virginia
I'm 11 generations removed from a full blooded Nansemond Native American ancestor. That doesn't give me a very big percentage. And I'm not forgetting that most of my ancestors were Western Europeans mainly from England. When I learned about great grandmother, Bettie Bass' grandmother however many times removed, Elizabeth Tucker Basse, I was thrilled.
