Samuel Bass, Sr.

Note: NOT the son of Edward Bass 1672-1748. Edward names a son SAMPSON in his will, who is apparently a different man.

Steph Carson ("Family Roots" at Rootsweb) quotes an anonymous researcher: "I believe Heinegg and Marcia McClure and others have confounded a number of Samuels and Sampsons into one man. I am fifth great grandson of Samuel Bass, Sr who died in 1789 so I have spent a great amount of time trying to tease them apart....I do not believe Samuel Sr was Sampson and the son of Edward. Through tracing land I place this man as the Samuel who purchased land in Isle of Wight County in 1733. He stated he was "of Isle of wight" and the land adjoined property of James Bass and Charles Bass, Jr. They in subsequent years signed deeds for each other and moved about together. To me that says related. I have come to believe that Samuel was a son of Charles Bass, Sr of Isle if Wight Co. He was born most likely around 1712. He married twice. First to Elizabeth who was still alive in 1755. He was married to Sarah by 1770 and she is the wife in the will. He had 8 children who I believe were born in the order listed in the will. My ancestor Matthew could be the son of either wife."

This line does not match any of the other known Bass YDNA lines, it matches a Jordan line; see kit 18328 in the Jordan DNA Project
