    Benjamin1 Bass (Edward1, John1), born say 1722, was the executor of his father's Northampton County will by which he received 125 acres where his father was living on Quarter Swamp in Northampton County [Original at N.C.

On 4 April 1758 he sold 50 acres of his Northampton County land and a month later on 22 May 1758 bought 50 acres adjoining his land in Northampton from his brother Samuel [DB 2:460, 461]. In addition to the 125 acres he received by his father's will he had title to another 150 acres since on 10 February 1759 he sold 275 acres of his land in Northampton County which his father had purchased in 1743 and 1744 [DB 3:53].

    In 1761 he was taxable in Oxford District, Granville County, with his wife Mary and brother James on 3 "Black polls," and he and his wife and children were taxable in the remaining colonial tax lists for Oxford District. On 10 November 1764 he purchased 50 acres in Northampton County near the Maple Spring Hills from his brother James [Granville DB H:63]. On 19 November 1772 Rodey Bass, a five-year-old orphan, was bound as an apprentice to him [CR 044.101.2-7]. Perhaps she was his grandchild. In 1780 he was taxed on an assessment of 607 pounds in Oxford District, Granville County. In 1782 he was taxable on 103 acres, 2 horses, and 3 cattle. On 5 August 1782 he purchased an additional 480 acres in Granville for which he paid 1,000 pounds. He sold 100 acres of this to his son Benjamin Bass, Jr., for 5 pounds on 18 August 1783, sold 21 acres on 3 November 1794, sold 20 acres on 14 December 1797, and sold the remainder on 14 May 1798 [DB O:197, 331; P:100; Q:115, 199]. He and his wife Mary sold 100 acres in Northampton County at Urahaw Swamp on 26 July 1784 [DB 7:267]. He was head of a Tar River household of 7 males and 4 females in the state census of 1786.
