      Will Bassett - Blacksmith shop
      From: jbassett@packagingcorp.com Based on their location in Vinton, Benton County, Iowa, I had placed "Willie" into the family of Alfred Bassett, but on seeing your material you note that William had a brother named Newton, placing him into the family of Thomas Bassett: 68B2.
