| Notes |
- John3 Bass (John2, William1, John1), born say 1700, purchased 200 acres on 10 April 1722 near Urahaw Swamp in the part of Bertie County which became Northampton County in 1742. He purchased 100 acres on Plaquet Branch of Antonkey Marsh, 150 acres on 17 January 1727, and received a patent for 410 acres south of Bear Swamp on 2 August 1727 [DB A:108; B:348, 360]. On 7 February 1736 the Bertie County court fined him for selling brandy without a license [Haun, Bertie County Court Minutes, I:199]. He was the executor of his father's 1732 will. On 16 August 1736 he bought 200 acres at the mouth of Beech Swamp in Edgecombe County [DB 1:164]. He sold 410 acres of his land in Northampton County to George Anderson on 13 January 1738 [Bertie DB E:530]. He bought 150 acres in Edgecombe on 16 December 1740 [DB F:190] and sold another 400 acres in Northampton by deeds of 2 October and 30 December 1742 [DB 1:40,56]. He was a slave owner by August 1742 when he proved rights on five "whites" and 3 "blacks" in Northampton County [SS 906 by North Carolina Genealogy, 1825]. He voted for Joseph Sikes in the Northampton County election of 1762 [SS 837 by NCGSJ XII:170]. His 14 June 1777 Northampton County will was proved in September 1777. He left 16 slaves and 600 acres to his children [WB 1:292-4]. Most of his children, who were very prosperous, married whites and were considered white.
