The following notes are from Bass researcher Marcia McClure:

Thomas married Martha Willis 22 June 1724, married second, Tamer Spivey 2 May 1729. He was taxable in the household of his father William1 Bass from 1730 to 1736. Thomas and his wife Tamer may have left the county sometime between 1736 and 1750 since they were not included in the tax lists from 1750 to 1766. They sold land in Norfolk County on 17 June 1756 [Bell, Bass Families of the South, 52].

A Thomas Bass platted land in Craven Co, SC 5/28/1766. It was granted 12/16/1766. He would have been pretty old by then, but perhaps a son? http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/Thumbnails.aspx?reco...

A Thomas Bass is named in a 1748 chain of title on the Santee River in Saxw-Gotha Township of SC.

John Nichols, who was often referred to as Major—an indication that he was a member of a standing militia in the area—married Judith Bowers Spivey (the widow of Matthew Spivey) later in life and it is possible that he had a previous marriage (through which he fathered Sarah Nichols). Prior to marrying Judith, John also appears to have fathered two illegitimate children, John and Sarah, by his slave Jean Lovina. These details can only be inferred (not verified) through the contents of his will (which proved 17 May 1697).
