Bassett Family Bible
Diane Bassette Nelson
The family believes the Bible was presented to Mary Catherine Peterson and Dewitt Clinton Bassette at the time of their marriage in 1887. The dates for their births and for the parents' births and marriages were entered at that time. With some exception most events occurred in the Town of Covert, Seneca County, New York. All burials are at Lake View Cemetery, Interlaken, Seneca County, New York. Some members of the family dropped the final "e" from the Bassette name.
