- Excerpt from the Isaac Newton Bassett Autobiography
My Uncle Amos was unfortunate in his first marriage and the family never referred to it and seemed desirous of blotting it out of their memory. [added in pencil: "nothing important now nor any disgrace".] He subsequently married a widow woman whose maiden name was Walinsgsford. A family who lived in Fleming Co, Kentucky and was in good circumstances. She first married a man named Waring, a very respectable family of Greenup Co. Kentucky. Her husband died leaving her with two children, Joseph and Frances. My Uncle married her and settled in the Valley of Montgomery Creek, two miles from my Father's place. His farm was in the little creek bottoms about 30 or 40 rods wide and extended along the creek over half a mile.
Joseph Waring, his stepson, bought the old place of my Uncle, married a girl by the name of Martin and raised a family of I think, six children. They are some of them living on the old place. Joseph died some three years ago.
Frances, the stepdaughter, married Reuben Thompson in 1838 or 1839. She died a few years after, having three children. I do not know where they are, nor their names.
