Henry Bassett
....On November 5, 1835, a few months after his twenty-first birthday, he was married in Carlisle Township to Miss Betsey E. Slauter. She was born in 1818 in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, a daughter of Jared and Sarah (Curtis) Slauter. Her parents were born in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, were married there, and soon afterward moved to Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and in 1826 allied themselves with the new country of Lorain County, making settlement in Carlisle Township. They came west by wagons and teams, and at that time Mrs. Bassett was eight years of age, and walked the greater part of the distance from Pennsylvania alongside or following the wagon. Mr. and Mrs. Slauter spent the rest of their days in Lorain County, and he passed away about eight years after the death of his wife. There were ten children in the Slauter family: Ephraim, who went to Wisconsin, where he died; Lydia, now deceased, was the wife of Everett Stoddard, one of the early settlers of Eaton Township; Mary Ann, deceased; Sarah, who became the wife of Henry Warner and moved to Whitehall, Wisconsin; Betsey E., who married Henry Bassett; Henry, who died in Wisconsin; Jared, who died in Carlisle Township; Jane, wife of D.L. Gibbs of Carlisle Township; Olive, wife of R. Gibbs, of Carlisle Township; and Hiram, who spent his active career at LaPorte.
