    Thomas Bassett: Farmer, Sec. 31; P. O. Ely; born in Ripley Co., Ind., in September, 1834. Married Elizabeth Gilliland in 1855; she was born in Ripley Co., Ind., in 1838; moved to Linn Co., Iowa, in 1855; they have had ten children, eight living--Sarah, Samuel, Alice, Sherman, Newton, Robert, Thomas and Eva; James deceased. Mr. Bassett owns 275 acres of land, valued at $40 per acre. Mr. and Mrs. Bassett are members of the Baptist Church. Mr. Bassett was one of the early pioneers of Linn Co., Iowa.

    2. Cross Plains Baptist Church (Brown Twp., Ripley Co.) The Cross Plains Baptist Church was founded May 18, 1843 when ten men and eleven women joined and associated with the Laughery Baptist Association. The History of Switzerland Co. (p. 1162) reports that Cross Plains grew out of Brushy Fork Baptist Church, which also produced Cross Plains' first minister, the Rev. Robert Stevenson who was ordained at Brushy Fork and who preached in so many churches in Southeastern Indiana. At this point, Stevenson had not yet been ordained.
    The action is reflected in the Brushy Fork minutes of the third Saturday in April 1843 which report that "the church granted Several members of dismission namely, Augustus Lathrop and wife, Henry Reed and wife and Samuel Reed and wife and Gerua D. Grover. Second the church has agreed to send six of her members to the Cross planes to aid in Constituting of a church namely John Mathis, John Christie, Robert Stevenson, Alfred Miles, Joseph Voyles, Wm Wicuff." (Punctuation added)
    The original church structure was completed in June 1844 and is still in use. George A. .and Mary Roberts sold the trustees one acre for $12 on Dec. 25, 1845 in the N1/2 NW1/4 Section 28 Twp. 6N Range 12E (Ripley Co. Deed Book M p. 499.) The trustees were Augustus Lathrop, William Bassett and Thomas Bassett. The church joined the Long Run Baptist Association on the third Saturday September 1852. Messengers were J.M. Nicholson and John Bassett. The church reported forty members at the time. The church graveyard dates from at least February 1855 when it is first mentioned in church records.

    Mt Vernon. April the 16 / 77
    Dear Son & Daughter
    It is in sorrow we pen these lines to you. Your Dear Father is no more.
    he died last Wednesday, the 11 after a long spell of sickness, towards the last he suffered a great deal of pain until a few hours before he breathed His last, which was a peaceful Death, he was sensible until the last, he said he would like to see you. Sude was the only child that was here when he died but the rest had been here and had gone home to do aoh there Chores intending to come back as soon as possible.
    We dearly Moarne his Loss although our loss is his gain.
    The funeral servis was preached at Linn grove Chur. By Elder Dewitt from this text,
    The forty seventh Chapter of Genesis & the 8 and part of the ninth verse the last word is been.
    I suppose you will be anxious to know what I will do I will still stay on the farm, he made a Will and Willed it all to me my life time. I buried him in a shroud, I will send you a piece of it the flanel is the Shroud & the white velvit is the trimming and some of his hair. his coffin was a 7 s’dolas Cask very nice, and he looked very Natural to be sick so long.
    We was intending to write you a letter week before last but neglected it to long. the friends are all well but my own health is not very good. Wm Stclair’s Sister Mary is staying with me. Wm Dower is farming the place we furnish every thing and give him one half in the Bushell and he does our chores and has been all winter. he lives in the old Pfinger house. Your Aunt Linda lives in Madisen County with Miller, her health is very poorely. Will has his wheet & oats sown and will comense to plow fer corn tomorrow if it don’t rain it did rain a little this Evening. Well I believe I can not think of any more to wite but you answer this soon as you can as we would like to hear from you.
    No more at this time but I remain your affecticnate Mother, Nancy Bassett

    Historical notes added by Ronald Bassett:
    The letter seems to be addressed to son William M. BASSETT, as family lived for 4 years [ca 1875-1879] in Mercer County MO. “Sude” could be daughter Susanah; Wm St Clair is daughter Mary/Polly’s husband. Wm Dower may be son (born 1836, Indiana) of Henry DOWERS and Malinda BASSETT

    1843 - Cross Plains Baptist Church (Brown Twp., Ripley Co. Indiana) Founded May 18, 1843 and associated with the Laughery Baptist Association. The History of Switzerland Co. (p. 1162) reports that Cross Plains grew out of Brushy Fork Baptist Church.
    Brushy Fork minutes of April 1843 report that "the church granted Several members of dismission namely, Augustus Lathrop and wife, Henry Reed and wife and Samuel Reed and wife and Gerua D. Grover. The church agreed to send six members to Cross [Plains] to aid in Constituting of a church namely John Mathis, John Christie, Robert Stevenson, Alfred Miles, Joseph Voyles, Wm Wicuff." (Punctuation added) The original church structure was completed in June 1844. George A. .and Mary Roberts sold the trustees one acre for $12 on Dec. 25, 1845 in the N1/2 NW1/4 Section 28 Twp. 6N Range 12E (Ripley Co. Deed Book M p. 499.) The trustees were Augustus Lathrop, William Bassett and Thomas Bassett. The church joined the Long Run Baptist Association on the third Saturday September 1852. Messengers were J.M. Nicholson and John Bassett. The church reported forty members at the time. The church graveyard dates from at least February 1855 when it is first mentioned in church records.
