- From "History of Sussex & Warren Counties, NJ", we have "Other early families, who settled here prior to the year 1800, are represented by the names of Sausmanhouse (now Sausman), Johnson, Holmes, Drake, Warbasse, Stewart, Basset, Rosenkrans, Ryerson, Pemberton, Kerr, etc."
Also from the same book,"Isaac Basset, an early settler, and an influential man in his day, was also a tavernkeeper. The first Masonic lodge in Sussex County met at his hotel. He was proprietor and host of a public-house which formerly stood on the site of the present Cochran House; in 1818 he removed to the County Hotel, on the hill. He is described as being a short, thick-set man, jovial in his manners, and a popular landlord. He married a Woolverton and raised a large family of children, one of whom became the wife of the Rev. Pater Kanouse; a granddaughter in this line now resides in Newton. Mr. Basset died about 1818. His widow subsequently married the late Judge Mackey. William I. Basset, a cousin to Isaac, was a carpenter, and also a hotelkeeper.
