Notes |
- Aaron Bassett was born about 1810 in New York according to the 1860 census. He apparently died before 1870 since he is not listed with the family in the 1870 Michigan census. He married Elizabeth, possibly the Elizabeth Knapp listed below. Elizabeth was born between 1815 and 1818 according to the 1860 & 1870 census records. They moved from New York State to Allegan County, Michigan between 1855 and 1860. Elizabeth (Knapp) Bassett may have married (2) Isaac O'Dell.
I found one Family Group Record in the LDS Ancestral File listing an Aaron Bassett, born about 1813 in Springwater, Livingston County, New York. He married Elizabeth Knapp, daughter of Ebenezer and Polly (Hill) Knapp. She was born 6 Aug 1817 and lived at one point in Spencerport, Monroe County, New York. Ebenezer was born 14 Sep 1772. He died 18 Sep 1821 in Richmond, Ontario County, New York. They had Russell Dorr Knapp, Harry Knapp, John Addison Knapp, Grata Knapp, Jane Marie Knapp, John B. Knapp, Elizabeth Knapp, and Myron Ebenezer Knapp. The first four or five children were all born in Greenbush, Rensselaer County, New York.
