BIOGRAPHY:
1. Nancy's last name was Roe and it is assumed she was adopted by the Bassett family in KY, perhaps after her family was killed in indian raids. May have been born in 1782.
2. Looking for information on Craig's Station, KY, in the 1785 period. Craig's Station may have been near present-day Danville in what was then Lincoln or Mercer County (now Boyle County).
I believe families named ROE, BASSETT, and McQUIDDY may have been at Craig's Station about 1785 when it was burned by the Indians. I believe the families originated in Spotsylvania Co, VA
Any information you might have on Craigs's Station, its true location, the names of its inhabitants, and the circumstances of its burning by the Indians would be greatly appreciated. Merritt D. Mullen
3. Nancy Roe (1782-1858), wife of Cassius Claxon, was an orphan raised by William Bassett and his wife Margaret McQuiddy. In the Kentucky papers of the Draper Manuscripts, p. 488, is an undated manuscript 11CC253-57 from John D. Shane of an interview with Ben Guthrie of Woodward County, Kentucky, who came to Ky in 1783 and who states that Edmund Roe was killed by Indians. It is possible that Edmund Roe was the father of Nancy Roe.
1850 US Census, Carroll Co Ky, Dist 1, p. 161a(321), age 67, b. VA [ca 1783] (with husband Cassius, age 67).

2. Mercer County Register, vol. 1, page 4 (LDS film 0192267) has: 1786, Nov. 22 - William Bassett + Margaret McQuiddy, by James Smith. But book Early Marriage Records of Mercer County, compiled by the Jane McAfee Chapter NSDAR, of Harrodsburg, Ky., shows: 1786, Nov. 22 - Bassett, Wm. and Margt McGurdy, minister shown as Rice.
3. (Will McGuire
The Reverend David Rice was known as the patriarch of Presbyterianism in Kentucky, he founded several small Presbyterian churches but is best known as the founder of the Presbyterian Church at Crab Orchard in Lincoln County in 1783, David Rice was previously the first minister of the Peaks of Otter Presbyterian Church in Bedford County, VA in 1774, Lawrence McGuire and family were founding members of that early church before the war.
4. Note from Merritt Mullen (Desc. from Nancy ROE Bassett):
"It is interesting that the Bond was made by William Basset and John Mcquire, but was signed by William Bassett and John Mcquidy. I suspect the Mcquire was just a mistake. The concent given by Margaret's mother, Mary, indicates that Margaret was underage and that her father was dead, both consistant with the data we have."
5. Note by Ronald Bassett: The 1829 Bassett family bible clearly states Wm & Peggy were married on 27 Nov. 1786. I will assume that they had to take out the marriage bond/license prior to being married.
