Folks, I am looking for the parents of William Bass b. 8 Mar 1811 d. 30 Sep 1891, both in Wilson Co., TN m. 30 Oct 1832 Wilson Co. TN, to Nancy Phillips b.14 Nov 1812 d. 27 Jan 1889, both in Wilson Co., TN I belief he may have been a son of Ezekiel Bass, Sr b 1775 in NC, d. 1868 in Wilson Co., TN. He married 1. Sarah Vincent c 1796 in NC and 2. Sarah Murphy Jan 31 1843 in Wilson Co., TN. The reason for this belief is that 2 children of Ezekiel and Sarah; Archamack and Henry Bass both married daus. of John and Mary Phillips, those were Rachel and Francina. The Wife of William I am looking for is also a dau of John and Mary Phillips! The Henry Bass, son of Ezekiel Bass was born 8 April 1810 and William was born 8 Mar 1811, 11 months later! It was pretty common to find several children of one family marrying those of another, probably because they were within easy access! I would greatly appreciate any help anybody can give me in this matter! Morris L. Ferguson mailto:leroyf@chesapeake.net
