    Notes 
    • The year 1850 saw the breaking up of the farm home of Lemuel and Julia Bassett, and the beginning for themselves of the sons Bennett and Jared. The time came when the two brothers must decide on their farms. The roadway divided their father's farm into nearly equal parts; the upper tract was the better land, but there was no good house on it. Which one was to have the upper farm and which the lower? They settled the matter by "drawing cuts", and the lower farm fell to Bennett. Jared bought only 70 acres on the start, paying $50 per acre.

      Jared Beardsley Bassett (brother of Bennett Bassett) was married to Mary Wheeler whose father was Nathan Beech Wheeler.
      Bennett Basset (brother of Jared Beardsley Bassett) was married to Matilda Wheeler whose father was Lyman Wheeler.
      Nathan Beech Wheeler and Lyman Wheeler were brothers.

      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.
