- Excerpt from Autobiography of Isaac Newton Bassett
In 1834 my father married a second time to Anna Wilson who was an entire stranger to us, and her family lived some thirty miles from us. She was a very good women but she had very little education and culture and poor health in twelve months after the marriage. She became almost an invalid and gradually grew weaker and became bed ridden for four or five years and finally died Feb 8, 1842.
Notwithstanding her weak condition, she gave birth to children rapidly, four having been born within less than three years after the marriage. Elizabeth Ellen on the 22nd of October 1835. She lived until July 23rd 1854 and died unmarried. Hester Ann and Sarah Ann were twins born Oct 25th 1836 - only lived 5 days, - Susannah Ray born August 26th 1837, died Sept 14th 1838. Also Amos Whitaker born Feb 8, 1839 died August 11th 1855. Thus all the children of the 2nd marriage died young and un-married.
