  Notes	After Nathaniel Bassett's death (about 1820 or 1821) apparently his children went to live with his brother, William Bassett. William's will listed Nathaniel's children as William Edward Bassett, aged 14, Cassandra Bassett, aged 12, Sarah Bassett, aged 10, and Thomas Spear Bassett, aged 8. Apparently, after William's death, the children were without a guardian and went to live with others. William Edward went to live with the Triplet family. Cassandra and Thomas Spear went to live with Calvin Merry in Hempstead City, Arkansas. Sarah went to live with David Andrews in Atten Settlement in Louisiana. In court records of October 13, 1830, a Sarah Bassett and children Kisander (Cassandra), Sarah, Thomas and William are placed in support and care of Calvin Merry. A family source says that Thomas Spear Bassett married a full-blooded Cherokee Indian women. 1840 Federal Census of Pike County, Arkansas Thomas S.
