  Notes	John Bass was a wheelwright and maltster. His will was made June 25, 1716, and proved on October 22, 1716. On the very day it was proved, Joseph Bass and Ephraim Thayer, son-in-law, "Humbly pray the Will of their late father may not be proved for the following reasons, that he was under great insanity at the time of making his Will, and Benjamin Webb, a witness, declared that he had acted childish; that he was unduly influened by his eldest son, John, and his grandson, John, and had given his widow but one-fourth instead of one-third, and other reasons." But their objections were fruitless and the Will was proved that very day. Samuel Sewell wrote in his diary referring to the Will of John Bass, "The new lawyer, Robert Auchmerty, said, "They that opposed, only delayed without bringing any proof, though time was allowed them for that purpose".
