I have info from World Tree Maker, Vol. I, Tree 1248 about Basel (Bazel, etc) Sr. & Jr. According to that tree, Bazil Nelson, Jr. was born December 15, 1785 in Pittsylvania Co.; d April 3, 1861 in Williamson Co., Illinois. His mother, wife of Bazil Sr. was Rebecca - surname not given. She was born btw. 1739-1853, place not given. I have their children, if you want them. This same tree gives Bazil Sr., death as btw 1758-1769, place not given. His estimated death date is 1789-1855. This next is info from my living relatives. Bazil Jr. m. Elizabeth Chattin (as you know). They had Nancy Nelson who married Samuel Mansker (we are now in Illinois). They had Elveretta Mansker who married my great grandfather, John Vance Wood. They had my grandmother, Carrie Wood who married Edward Andrews who had my father, Aubrey Andrews. I have dates and children of some of these. I'm sorry I didn't start researching this part of my tree before, but I'm doing several sides of different families at once. I just picked the Chattins to work on 2 days ago. Let me hear from you. I live near San Francisco airport in Burlingame, CA. Do you know where in England or Wales all the Chattins started? Pat Lippi
