For Sharon Johnson and others interested in Cader Bass--- Thomas E. Partlow's WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, CHANCERY COURT RECORDS 1842-1892, has the following entry which shows Cader Bass's parents, siblings and children. Bill of complaint of Jhn C. Organ, administrator of E. W. Bass; John Bethel and wife Sarah; James P. Tubb and wife Mary; Thomas D. Bass of Dekalb County; John W. Bass of Warren County; (?) Phillips and wife Elizabeth of Wilson County; Josiah L. Bass and William Bass of Texas against Nancy Tarpley of Wilson County; John Bass of Illinois; Warren Bass of Texas; Henry Bass, John Bass, John Smith and wife Elizabeth, Nowell Bass, Lem'l Bass, Daniel Odum and wife Mary, unknown heirs of Dolphin Bass, non residents (possibly of Missouri); heirs of Washington Bass of Kentucky. Said complainants and defendants are the heirs of E. W. Bass who died in 1866 or 1867. He left eight children by his last (I think this should be "first") wife, to wit, Archie who is dead and left eight heirs, to wit, E. W., John W. Bethel and wife Sarah, James P. Tubb and wife Mary, Josiah L. Bass, Thomas D. Bass, (?) Phillips and wife Elizabeth, William Bass, John Bass, (I believe these are the eight childre! n of Archie), Dolphin Bass who is dead, CADER BASS WHO IS DEAD AND LEFT FIVE HEIRS, to wit, John, John Smith and wife Elizabeth, Nowell Bass, Lem'l Bass, Daniel Odum and wife Mary (I believe these are the five children of Cader), Nancy Tarpley, Warren Bass, and Washington Bass who is dead and left one child whose name is not know. Which six named children constitute all the heirs of Ezekiel Bass by the first wife. He also left two children by the last wife, to wit, Hardy P. and (?). He also left a widow who is still living. 18 November 1869 (Chancery Book J, Pp. 192-208) I believe the clerk made a mistake in the body of the instrument and that there were six children by the first wife and two by the last wife, constituting eight heirs altogether. That second child by the second wife should be named on the 1870 census along with the widowed mother, unless he is grown and gone. These are not my family, but hope the information helps you out.
