  Notes	Samuel Bassett located in Dutchess County, New York about the year 1791. He leased a Van Rensselaer grant of land, the life of the lease expiring on the death of the last of three persons named in the lease. This land he cleared of timber and improved until about the year 1820, when, the lease expiring, Samuel was overbid and the land was leased to a higher bidder. Samuel, disheartened and discouraged, moved with his wife and the younger children of the family to Delaware County, New York, and in the town of Walton he took timbered land and started again to make a home for his family. He lived but a few years, leaving his children to clear and improve the farm.
