- Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
My Aunt Sarah was married to Mathew Thomson and settled on a farm just west of my father's adjoining it and extending to Kinniconick west. The Thompson family was an old Virginia family. There were, besides Matthew, four brothers, John, William, Alexander and Milton, all who lived not far from my father's in Kentucky. My Aunt Sarah had a very large family.
Nancy Thompson was the third daughter of Aunt Sarah. She married Robert Garland about 1833 and died about 1837 or 1838 leaving two children, girls - Synthia [sic] and Sarah. Sarah married Rose Harrison(?) and I do not remember whether Synthia married or not, but I think both of them are dead.
Robert Garland subsequently married Amanda Skidmore and in 1840 bought of my father the little home where I was born. His second wife died some years after and subsequently Robert Garland died on the farm he bought of my Father. He was a large man, 6 ft 4 in, and well proportioned.
