  Notes	Past and Present of Greene County, Missouri Early and Recent History and Genealogical Records of Many of the Representative Citizens By Jonathan Fairbanks and Clyde Edwin Tuck Sampson Bass Mr. Bass was born in Marion County, Tennessee, on December 8, 1827. He is a son of Andrew and Ellen (Smith) Bass. The father was a native of Georgia, from where he removed to North Carolina, thence to Tennessee when a small boy, and he grew to manhood in the last named state on a farm, and there received a limited education. He emigrated with his family in 1830 and, by mistake, settled on land belonging to the Indians, who subsequently drove him off and he settled in Greene county in the fall of 1830, securing eighty acres at first. He started with practically nothing in this state, but being a man of exceptional ability, he became wealthy for those times and owned fourteen hundred and forty acres of land at the time of his death, having acquired his property by hard work and good management, and he died in 1867 on the place where our subject now lives. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. His wife was a native of Marion county, Tennessee, and there grew up on a farm, received a limited schooling and there she married Mr. Bass. She was a pioneer woman in every respect, working hard assisting her husband to get a start in the wilderness, spinning and weaving, molding candles, making soap and the thousand and one things about the house, of which the modern woman knows nothing except by tradition. She was also a member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Her death occurred on the homestead here in 1862. To these parents fourteen children were born, namely: Sampson, our subject, is the oldest; John, Henderson, Jackson and James are all deceased, Martin V. lives in Greene county, Newton, McCord and Leonard H. are deceased, Lila lives in Polk county, Missouri; Leda, deceased; Narcissus, deceased; Margaret is living in Greene county; Ellen also lives in this county. 1830 Federal Census of Marion County, Tennessee Andrew Bass 30001-00001 3 males under 5, 1 male 20-30, 1 female 20-30 1840 Federal Census of Gasconade County, Missouri Andrew Bass 223001-200001 2 males under 5, 2 males 5-10, 3 males 10-15, 1 male 30-40, 1 female under 5, 1 female 30-40 1850 Federal Census of Jackson, Greene County, Missouri (December 24, 1850) Andrew Bass - 50 - Male - Alabama - Farmer 3000 Nelly - 54 - Female - Tennessee Henderson - 21 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer Andrew J. - 19 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer James F. - 18 - Male - Tennessee - Farmer Delilah - 16 - Female - Missouri Nety E. - 15 - Female - Missouri Martin V. - 12 - Male - Missouri Josiah - 11 - Male - Missouri Narcissa - 10 - Female - Missouri Nelly - 9 - Female - Missouri Martha - 7 - Female - Missouri McCord - 5 - Male - Missouri Leonard H. - 4 - Male - Missouri 1860 Federal Census of Jackson, Greene County, Missouri (June 30, 1860) Andrew Bass - 54 - Male - North Carolina - Farmer 6000 9000 Elender - 55 - Female - North Carolina Martha - 6 (17) - Female - Missouri McCord - 14 - Male - Missouri Laurena (Leonard) - 4 (14) - Male - Missouri
