  Notes	Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett They [my father's family] first settled on the Ohio River bottom just west of Portsmouth on the Kentucky side where they remained for several years. At that time, Portsmouth was hardly known and just West of it was the village of Alexandria which for a few years was the rival of Portsmouth, but finally became extinct. I remembered seeing some of the old deserted buildings: substantial stone structures, in my boyhood days. It was just opposite this village that my father's family settled and the place was flourishing then. In this village, my maternal grandfather Hall settled and there my father became acquainted with my Mother, Frances Asbury Hall, fell in love, and married her in 1818. My Mother was a woman of medium height and build, of light complexion, black or grey eyes and light hair. My Father received only a very common education, but his language was free from provincialisms and slang phrases. He acted as post-master for a great number of years and as justice of the peace. He and my Mother were both members of the M.E. church. My Father was a class leader from my earliest recollections until his health would not permit of his acting. He was also a licensed exhorter for a great many years. My mother died of consumption Feb 10, 1833 when Sarah Susannah was six months old. She was better educated than my father and of a more nervous temperament. I remember her quite well altho' not eight years old when she died. I have always felt that her death was a great loss to me. She was more ambitious for intellectual culture than was my father and she was far superior to my stepmother who took her place in mental culture and training.
