Hi Sandy,
I am finding this most interesting as I have been hunting for my BASS
ancestors as well. They were in Knox Co. IN 1807 - and a James BASS had a
black horse fetched from Woodford Co. KY mentioned in his estate settlement
in 1815. James JOHNSON and John B JOHNSON are on the 1807 IN Territorial
Census and various JOHNSONs are mentioned in misc estate papers of my BASS
family in IN 1815-1824. see http://gnat.net/~lea/vincennes.htm for a
transcription of them. I am wondering if perhaps my BASS weren't perhaps
from KY as I do not know the origins of my BASS family. Interesting there
were no HARRISONs in Knox in 1807 - see http://gnat.net/~lea/incensus.htm
for a complete territorial census. Shortly after that date, the HARRISONs
did arrive - namely Wm. Henry HARRISON pres of US as he made Vincennes,
Knox Co., IN his home.
The most likely Jeremiah we have in our Repository is given below - but we
have wife Mary. Let us know what you think.
If you have any info on any of these lines, I would love to share!
