    Notes 
    • One family history states that George W. Bassett came to St. Joseph County, Indiana in 1833 with his parents. Another source lists him as a possible son of Allen Bassett (#21B), but he does not show in the 1840 census for Allen and he does not show in the Allen Bassett family bible.
      He may be related to the Alexander Bassett who was in Elkhart County, Indiana at an early date. Alexander did have a son named George.
