About Richard Bass, Jr.

Bass historians say Richard's Y haplo is R1b M269 L21

  • Richard 1707 is the son of Mary Burwell but Richard 1658 wasn’t the father of any of Mary Burwell’s children.
  • All 9 children were gathered by the same man.. unknown.. haplogroup R1b M269 L21 not Basse L47. .

The will jpeg is supposed to be Richard Bass but it looks like Robert Bird so likely is on another page and I will continue to look for it.

Family says is for Richard Bass Sr (1658)~ Cynthia Hicks Curtis)


Note: In 1784 the western part of Duplin County became Sampson County.
