| Notes |
- Edward Bass died in 1802 intestate leaving heirs at law: wife Sarah who has died during probate years; son John Bass who died leaving issue Uriah, Mary, Betsy, Sally, Ann, Keziah, and Richard all living in Alabama early during probate; son Andrew Bass living in Johnston and Wayne North Carolina; son William Bass of Wayne North Carolina; son Uriah Bass who died as minor during probate without issue; son Richard Bass of Tennessee who died during probate leaving issue Elizabeth Bass Boyte (Thomas), Sally Bass Jacobs (William), and Edward Bass all of Tennessee; daughter Mary Bass a minor in 1802 who has married Britton Hood; and, daughter Keziah Bass a minor in 1802 who has married John Cox. The latter two girls are petitioning against the estate as they were young and not aware of their rights in 1802 so the property is being re-evaluated and divided in 1826.
