REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

More Bass history in Wayne County NC

These publications will represent addendums for-

Andrew Bass Sr. ?-1767, m. to Ann
Richard Bass 1730-1814, m. to Sarah McKinnie
Dr. Andrew Bass II 1734-1791, m. to Alice Ann Rhodes
and other children and grandchildren which I've not mentioned.

But they don't necessarily agree with what I've already published.
The Wayne County Heritage was written in 1982. It was based on wills and other information available to give backgrounds of the original inhabitants of the county.  The whole book is available on line HERE.

Thanks to the hard work and information, here is page 141 and 142.

Begin with paragraph 336, "Andrew Bass Family of Dobbs and Craven County." The author here did not know where Andrew Bass Sr. came from. The paragraph next is about the daughter of Dr. Andrew Bass who married Gen. James Rhodes.  Then paragraph 338 is authored by another person, quoting from a book The Bass families of the South, by Albert T. Bell. Here the patriarch of Waynesborough is thought to be from Wales.  However Mr. Bell's book has been discounted by many Bass descendents as not necessarily factual. I agree, being pretty sure Andrew Bass Sr. came from Virginia.


next page: of most interest is paragraph #341, Richard Bass.

This historical document about my great times 5 grandfather, Richard Bass, (pp 341) doesn't even mention his son John Bass, except to say "There may be others..." after listing other children by name.

 I am sorry the type is so pale and blurry. It's really not any news, except having slightly different dates of births and deaths, not to mention calling a Native American as being from Wales.
