and Harriet Bowley |
My first source of info for all this page is my father's late brother, James Bassett Gwin II. Page 46 of his work is entitled BASSET FAMILY HISTORY and starts out:
"Compiled by James Basset Gwin II of 2918 45 St New Orleans 20, LA in the year 1949 from records submitted from the collections of Kate L. Gwin Tuscaloosa Al, and Edith Snow, Washington, DC. Information obtained from Major Champ Carter McCullough who employed genealogists to trace this ancestry. "
My second source is Mr. Jeffrey Neil Bassett, Jnbassett@aol.com, who saw my page and sent me information he said came from Elizabeth Nitschke Hicks. I cut his info apart and added each piece where it was applicable. Thus each note preceded by JB/ENH came from him.
My third source is Ms. Elizabeth (Liz) Nitschke Hicks herself , erootrot@usa.net , my third cousin once removed.
A fourth source is the book (a copy of which I own) Memories of Old Cahaba, c 1905 by Anna M. Gayle Fry, published for the author by the Publishing House of the M. E. Church, South, Nashville, Tenn./Dallas, Tex., 1908; reprinted 1972 by The Strode Publishers, Huntsville, Alabama.
In Sep 2002, 3rd Cousin Ann Gray sent me information on 4.1--Charlotte Basset Derby's descendants.
In Feb 2005, 2nd Cousin once removed Beth Whitaker sent me information on 4.6--Mary Ann Basset Boykin's descendants.
In Oct 2006, 3rd Cousin Ellen Kohjima sent me updated
information
on her own family.
22.00--Jean
Jaques Basset;
m. 20 Aug 1767 in Christchurch, Yorkshire, England by E. Willan (sp?)
Vicar,
to Marie Lavalette;
2
sons.
JB/ENH notes:
53B. Jean Jacques Luis Basset m. Marie Lavalette on 20
Aug 1767 in Christchurch, Yorkshire, England.
Liz Hicks sent me many items regarding
this family, including a
photocopy
of the old 1767 marriage license. I copy it here with typeset
words
in boldface type and handwritten words in italic type. The five
signatures
are also underlined.

23.01--One of the two sons (no name listed) emigrated to America, family all died in Philadelphia. 23.02--John James Louis Basset(Jr.?) m. Mary Miles, an English girl; settled in Sussex, England; 14 children
JB/ENH notes:
*53B1. Jean Jacques Luis "James" Basset - m. Mary Miles 13 Jun 1803 in St. Marylebone, London, Eng.; some of this family also emigrated to America, but who came at what time/times is unclear. William (3.5 below) and his family came just after the birth of their daughter Ida Eliza and before the birth of their son John, so it was sometime between late 1845 and early 1847 (see 1850 and 1860 census notes at bottom of page).
24.01--James Basset (m. Susannah Snewin) at least one child
24.02--Mary Basset (m. Mr. Isaacs)--died without issue
24.03--Charlotte Basset (m. Fred Cheesman) at least 6 children
24.04--George Basset (m. unknown) at least one child
24.06--Louis Basset (m. Sarah Gwin. ) 2 children
24.07--Sarah Basset (m. Robert Jordan) 2 children
24.08--John Miles Basset never married--died without issue
24.09--Henry Basset never married--died without issue
24.10--Joseph Lavalette Basset (m1. Ann Gwin; m2. Kitty High Blann) 5 children
24.11--Emma Maria Basset(m3. Carl Ludwig Nitschke) 6 children
24.12--Thomas Archibald Basset, or Thomas Basset (twin) never married--died without issue
24.13--Charles Basset, or Archibald Basset (twin) never married--died without issue
24.14--Robert Basset or Charles Robert Basset never married--died without issue
(24.15)--Harry Bridger (called Henry)--maybe adopted, maybe only a close friend
24.05--William Basset,
(my gg-grandparents!), b. 21 Feb 1812 at Worthing, Sussex Co., Eng.
(age
48 in the 1860 US Census of Cahaba, AL); d. 5 Mar 1866, age 54 years 14
days, of smallpox in Cahaba, AL; bd. at the historic New Cem., Cahaba,
AL (Liz Hicks sent me photos of his grave--a special THANK you,
Liz!
And now I've been able to see it myself in person a couple of times.);
m. (according to one source) on 11 Nov 1834 in East Sussex, but
(according
to another source) by banns at Broadwater Church in Sussex by Rev.
Peter
Wood on 22 Jan 1837 [I tend to accept the later date because of the
closer
proximity to daughter Charlotte's date of birth] to Harriet Bowley
of Rotherfield, Eng. (Harriett b. 28 Jul 1811 at Clymping, baptised 6
Aug
1821 Clymping, Eng. [age 48 in the 1860 US Census of Cahaba, AL--age
listed
as 59 in the 16 Aug 1870 census of Portland Beat,. Dallas Co., AL, but
as 66! in 1880 census of Boykins, Dallas Co., AL]; d/o Edmund and
Kitty Bowley; she never re-married, living the remainder of her
years
with her son James; d. 15 Feb 1897, according to her tombstone, at age
84; she and sons James and John are all bd. in the Grace Episcopal Ch.
Cem. on the east side of Rt. 41 about a mile ene of the intersection of
the road that goes south to Tilden, AL, in the very southwestern corner
of Dallas Co.) [Liz Hicks note: St.
Luke's
Methodist Episcopal church they belonged to in Old Cahaba was
moved
to Martins' Station, Dallas Co., AL, and stood there until 2008 when it
was carefully dismantled and moved back to Cahaba where it is being
restored.]; 6
children; [John Gwin Note:
The 1850
Census of Cahaba Beat, Dallas Co.,
AL,
gives a disputed clue as to when this family arrived: daughter Ida
Eliza, age 6 in 1850, was born in England, while the next born,
John,
age 4, was born in Alabama; thus, the family had to have arrived
between
1844 and 1846. But here's the rub: Liz Hicks reports that
William
and Harriet's ship sailed from Liverpool 29 Nov 1847, so it wouldn't
have
arrived in the US until late December 1847 or early January 1848.
This would've made John's age in the 1850 census 2, not 4. If the
1850 census data is correct, they had to have traveled a couple of
years
earlier. However, if Liz's info is correct, then the 1850 census
taker must've made a mistake as to where John was born.];

Excerpts from the book Memories
of Old Cahaba ): From page 27:
"...several
millinery establishments, shoe stores, the fashionable tailor shops of
John
and
William Bassett (likely
brothers 3.5 and 3.8 above) and
Jerry
Lister,
and Brenner's tin shop."
"NEW CEMETERY -- Burials in this cemetery, which served Cahaba from 1848 to 1900, tell a story of the town in which many deaths resulted from diseases of infancy, childhood, and early adult life, yellow fever being a large factor. Because of proximity to Gulf of Mexico ports, Cahaba had many plagues brought in by a constantly changing population. The famous Bell Monument is in this cemetery. --Cahaba Historical Commission."

[John Gwin Note: The 1850 Census of Cahaba Beat, Dallas Co., AL, gives a disputed clue as to when this family arrived: daughter Ida Eliza, age 6 in 1850, was born in England, while the nextborn, John, age 4, was born in Alabama; thus, the family had to have arrived between 1844 and 1846. But here's the rub: Liz Hicks reports that William and Harriet's ship sailed from Liverpool 29 Nov 1847, so it wouldn't have arrived in the US until late December 1847 or early January 1848. This would've made John's age in the 1850 census 2, not 4. If the 1850 census data is correct, they had to have traveled a couple of years earlier. However, if Liz's info is correct, then the 1850 census taker must've made a mistake as to where John was born.]
