Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
My brother John R. studied law in Kentucky and commenced the practice of law there in 1854 or 55 at Clarksburg the county, seat at that time of Lewis Co. KY. My Father who then had no children with him moved to Clarksburg and Brother John lived with them. John R. was married to Cynthia A. Stricklett at Clarksburg in the fall, Dec 21st of 1856 and in the spring of 1857 he came to Keithsburg, Ill where I was located practicing law and entered into a co-partnership with me and remained until 1869. In the meantime he served on term as Co. judge of Mercer Co. He then bought a farm near Aledo, Ill and moved to that and remained there until the spring of 1883 serving 5 years during that time as County Judge. He then moved to Burlingame Kansas and is now on a farm 8 miles from there. He has children living, to wit: William who is married and lives at Topeka, Kansas and is car-inspector in the shops of the A.T. and S.F.R.R. Co; Elizabeth [added later: "Green," perhaps her married name] who is unmarried, is a teacher and is now at the Rosebud Indian Agency, South Dakota. Mattie, who is married to Alex Stahl and lives near her father; Lewis who lives with his father; Henry Clay who is conductor on the Santa Fe Railroad. Other children, Effie, Frank and Arthur, Ralph, (Effie and Ralph are dead).
