Abraham Bass

| Birth* | circa 1720 | Abraham Bass was born circa 1720 at Northampton, NC. |

| MARRIAGE* | before 1781 | He married Mary Rogers before 1781 at Edgecomb, NC, Here is a note from Lance Bretsnyder. It raises a question in my mind. First, I didn't know that Edgecomb County had "vital" records at this early date and second, if Mary's grandaughter was named Elizabeth Rogers, daughter of Rober Rogers, it would be unusual for the grandmother to have the same surname. Need to investigate this more.
"Edgecomb County Vital Records" gives her as widow of man named Rogers.

ABSTRACTS OF NASH COUNTY, N.C. DEEDS-BOOK III
DB 3-340 ABRAHAM BASS of Nash Co. to his wife’s granddaughter, ELIZABETH ROGERS, daughter of Robert Rogers of Nash Co., April 8, 1785, for love and affection a negro girl Wit: Harry Taylor and William Bridgers.
I have to look around my stuff a bit more, but in addition to Robert Rogers's son Jesse marrying Isaac Bass's daughter Denise, I think the two families had a bit of a history. I believe the Woods were in Nansemond Co., Va., before they moved into the Northampton Co., NC, area. Until later, Lance
Thanks for the information. I do believe that Abraham Bass married Ann Woods's mother Mary at some point after the early 1750s.
Going back up the common tree a few generations, we have Catherine Laniere as one of our ancestors. I have seen references to a Mark Laniere who was in Catherine's neighborhood, I believe Norfolk, and think that he may have been her father since I can't find any other Laniers in Virginia at so early a time. There was a Lanier website that traced the Laniers to English Court musicians who came from France and had roots as musicians in Italy. I think the Italian part of the family was named Bassano. Until later, Lance
