Letter written by Frederick James Bassett to Arthur Henry Bassett, 19
My father, Daniel Edson Bassett was born in Vershire, Vt., April 5th,
1810 and was married to Harriet Buston of Newbury, Vt., Aug. 10th, 1841. My
grandfather, Daniel Bassett was born in Taunton, Mass., May 5th 1786 and was
married in Plymouth, Vt. Dec. 13, 1807 to Ruhamah Brown, who was born Jan. 17,
1784 in Lunenburgh, Mass. My great grandfather was Joseph Bassett and t
Christian name of his wife was Lydia. This Joseph is said to have go
Indiana early in this century and settled there. I believe that ex-president
Harrison's family inter-married the Bassetts in Indiana. My grandfather, Daniel
Bassett had three brothers, Carmi, Pedasha, Aruna, and two sisters, namely,
Abi and Addis. One of these brothers settled in Ohio a great many years ago.
One of his sisters married a Barrett. Carmi Bassett never married, and died in
Troy, N.Y. On the other side of this sheet I give the births of my father and
his brothers and sisters.
