One lady I know keeps track of all the men and women who have served in the American military in her records. I thought it might be interesting to see which Bassett\u2019s served in the Continental Army.

If you can prove descent from any of these men you would be eligible to join either the DAR or the Son\u2019s of the American Revolution. Please remember that there were also many Bassett women who married men who may have served.
