"The first Bass of which the writer has any information was Joseph Bass; he married a Miss Jones, sister of John Jones, Bryant and Thomas N. Jones. By the older people, her contemporaries, she was spoken of in very high terms as an excellent lady, industrious and frugal, ever looking with a keen eye to the welfare of her household, and with all, and above all, was a pious, good woman — truly a "mother in Israel;" they settled on Catfish, the road leading from Berry's Cross Roads to Harlleesville, now the property of James Berry, and is yet called the "old Bass place;" they raised a family of sons and daughters ; the sons were Joseph, Bryant and Robert, and three or four daughters, names unknown. The old people accumulated a good property for that day and time. Of the sons, Joseph, the oldest, married Miss Massey Crawford, and first settled just below the present town of Latta..."
