Sorry I know nothing about your family, but just happened to have a couple of books open on the desk and took a quick look. Franklin Co. was cut off from Bedford in 1785/6 but Goose Creek is and was still in Bedford. The earliest Basham I found was in this deed: Bedford Co. VA Deed Bk C-3: Peter Holland deed to Jesse Womack 400 acres on both sides Shoulder Camp Run on N Fork of Stoney Fork of Goose Cr. witnesses: Wm Hix Wm Basham. Nov. 24 1767. These Marriage Bonds were made in Franklin Co. before your Anderson B. was born: Franklin Co. VA, Marriage Bonds: Basham, William, and Anna Meador, dau. Jesse Meador, Dec 4 1797 Basham, John, and Frank Meadors. Jesse Meador, surety. Jan 13 1804 Basham, Uriah, and Rhoda Simmons, dau. Chas. Simmons. May 27, 1804 There is a huge pile of information on "Meador" in Bedford records. I didn't see any Basham Wills listed in Franklin County up through 1812. This is all from published information, so needs verification and additional searching in the Court Houses to make sure you have everything available as of this date. Sources on request if you're interested. Good Luck.
