      Excerpt from HISTORY AND DIRECTORY OF YATES COUNTY, NEW YORK by Stafford C. Cleveland published in 1872 in Penn Yan, New York, pages 155-159 as well as additional excerpts from the other pages indicated in brackets.

      Allen Bassett married for his second wife, Jimima C. Mann, of Truxton, New York, and they have eight adult children, Ansem L., Druzilla J., Erasmus E., George W., Helen C., A. Carlton, Charles M. and Frances A.

      Ansem L. is a fur merchant at Cleveland, Ohio, where he married Angia Cook. He has no children. Druzilla J. lives at home single.

      Erasmus E. was unmarried, and was a volunteer in Company B, 126th Regiment, and fell at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863, at the age of twenty-seven, while bearing the colors of the regiment, which he had taken from the hands of a fallen comrade a few moments before, while making a charge to recover a piece of artillery. He was Sergeant while his brother was acting Captain in this battle. He was buried in the cemetery of the Methodist Church in Barrington, near his brother George who fell at Antietam.

      George W. enlisted at the opening of the war in the 33rd Regiment. He was Sergeant Major, and followed all the fortunes of the Army of the Potomac till he was killed at Antietam, September 18, 1862, by a fragment of a bursting shell, while making a charge. He died at the age of twenty-four, and was a young man of much promise, having nearly completed his law studies in the office of Judge Henry Welles, when he responded to the call of his country.

      Helen C. Bassett, born in 1842, is a Preceptress in Starkey Seminary, and Charles M. and Frances A. are students in that institution. Archibald C. resides with his parents. The father at the age of seventy-three, is still a man of vigorous habit, and one of the most useful and respected citizens of his town. It remains to speak of his mother's children by her second marriage.

      Clorinda Boyce married James Longcor, and settled in Barrington. They had two children, Beulah Ann and Harriet A. Beulah Ann married Cyrus Sunderlin, and died in Pennsylvania. Harriet married Clinton Walling of Starkey. They moved to Rockford, Illinois, where she was left a widow with three children, Emma, Sarah and Clinton. She is the matron of the Female Seminary at Rockford.

      Harriet Boyce married Asa Wortman of Barrington. They have seven children, Emily, William, Ezra, Chauncey, Andrew, Charlotte and John A. Of these, Emily married James Baskin of Starkey, and resides in Tyrone. William married Susan Huson of Starkey, and lives in Barrington. Ezra married Mary Horton of Barrington, and died leaving three children, Samuel, Herbert and Ezra. Chauncey married Anna Cole and lives in Barrington.
