Notes for JOHN BASSE:
John Basse came as an infant with his mother and father to the New World of Virginia. Jamestown was founded in 1607, nine years
before John was born. According to genealogist, Alyene Prenn, the story related to her by Justin Bass, at the time Chief of the Nansemond Tribe, was that John was the only survivor at Basse's Choice of the Good Friday massacre in 1622. John's father, Nathaniel had returned to England as presumably had his mother since she died in England in 1630. John was rescued from the carnage by Nansemond Indians and was taken to raise by them. John married a Nansemond Indian girl with the Christianized name, of Elizabeth. Elizabeth's father's name was Robin the Elder. He was the "King", or Chief (Weroance) of the Nansemonds.

On April 27, 1619, they arrived at Jamestowen, Virginia, founded in1607 (Isle Of Wight County,
1608-1907) with one hundred settlers in a ship commanded by Captain Evans.
They immediately settled near the mouth of a creek on the south side of the James River
still known as Lawne's Creek. Captain Nathaniel Basse and others undertook to establish
another plantation in the same neighborhood. This plantation was known as Basse's Choice
and was situated on the Pagan River. Nathaniel was back in England in early 1621/22 and
returned to Virginia in 1622. He was commissioned to seek colonists for Virginia in
New England and elsewhere.
The houses of Captain Basse's plantation were being built when a great calamity
happened to the infant colony. At midday on Good Friday, March 22, 1622 there were twelve
hundred fourty British inhabitants in the state of Virginia. Of these, three hundred forty
seven were killed by Indians in the eighty settlements on the north and south sides of the
James River, of which fifty three were residents of this county (Isle Of Wight County).
At the house of Nathaniel Basse, twins Humphrey and Samuel were slain. Nathaniel, who was in
England at the time, escaped.
