  Notes	Portrait and Biographical Album of Oakland County, Michigan By Chapman Brothers John Bassett The mother of our subject was Mary, daughter of John Caywood, of New Jersey, who was a Revolutionary soldier, and moved from the latter State to Seneca County, New York,, and took possession there of a soldier's claim. The family is of Scotch descent. Mary Caywood was born August 23, 1794, and she married Samuel Bassett in Ovid, Seneca County, New York in 1810. They resided there until May, 1832, when they came to Michigan and settled in Bloomfield Township upon a heavily timbered farm which they bought from old Peter Desnoyer, of Detroit. They built a log house and having established themselves in the new home undertook to clear the farm of timber. In May, 1831, Samuel Bassett came to Novi Township and took up one thousand and forty acres of wild land at $1.25 per acre. Four hundred acres of it were located in Novi Township, and the remainder in West Bloomfield. In the fall of 1831 he came in with Sidney Hinman and helped the latter to get a start upon some land in the center of West Bloomfield Township. He then returned home and the following spring he brought on his family and made his permanent home on the new land. He retained three hundred and twenty acres and had it finely improved long before his death, which occurred in 1873. His wife had been called from his side by death in October, 1833.
