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. The second daughter of Aunt Sarah Thompson was Susan who married Thomas Warring (a Methodist preacher, cousin of Joseph Waring and Alexander Bassett) about 1830. Susan died about two years after marriage, leaving one child, a son who grew to manhood and who may be living yet. Thomas Warring was subsequently married to Rachel Murphy, a sister of Samuel Murphy who married my oldest Sister. Thomas Waring settle in Louisville, KY and engaged in trade. He left home on business about 1844 and was never heard of afterward. It was believed that he was murdered.
