Notes:

from: http://www.carolshouse.com/familyhistory/bass/
Early Bass history began in the coastal Virginia Tidewater. For many years Bass historians claimed descent from one single 17th century Bass immigrant who immigrated from London to the Colony of Virginia in 1619. In later years a contrarian point of view has emerged which points to inconsistencies in records attributed to the immigrant Nathaniel Basse. Was there more than one individual by that name in the earliest days of Colonial Virginia? This researcher is still exploring the possibilities.

Henry Bass was the son of Charles Bass, who died in Southampton Co, VA in 1780. Charles Bass' parentage has not yet been definitively proven. Some researchers attribute him to being the oldest child of Richard Basse (grandson of the above menttioned Nathaniel Basse) and his wife Jane Bryant of Nansemund. But that relationship, although possible, is not probable. If our Charles Basse was the son of Richard and Jane (Bryant) Basse, he would have been 99 years old at death. This seems a very unlikely possibility in 18th century Virginia.

Since Charles Bass was living in Southampton adjacent to what may have been Richard Basse's son James Bass, there is a greater likelihood that Charles of Southampton was a grandson of Richard & Jane (Bryant) Basse. Earlier records exist for a Charles Bass in the area of Isle of Wight County that became Southampton County and in Surry County. Could our Charles Bass have been a son of the earlier Charles Bass? Or was he instead, a son of James Bass who he was living adjacent to? Documentation that would prove the parentage of Charles Bass of Southampton Co, VA would be greatly appreciated.
