The reformatting of the name font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011



SOURCES:

1.  My first source of info for all this page is my father's late brother, James Bassett Gwin II.  Page 46 is entitled BASSET FAMILY HISTORY and starts out:

"Compiled by James Basset Gwin II of 2918 45th St., New Orleans, 20, LA in the year 1949 from records submitted from the collections of Kate L. Gwin, Tuscaloosa, AL, and Edith Snow, Washington, DC.  Information obtained from Major Champe Carter McCullough who employed genealogists to trace this ancestry. "
2.  My second source is Mr. Jeffrey Neil Bassett, Jnbassett@aol.com,who saw my page and sent me information he said came from Elizabeth Nitschke Hicks.  I cut his info apart and added each piece where it was applicable.  Thus each note preceded by JB/ENH came from him.  He also sent me the copy of the 1850 census of Matagorda Co., TX for the Louis Basset family.

3.  Third is Ms. Elizabeth (Liz) Nitschke Hicks herself, erootrot@usa.net, my third cousin once removed.

4.  And now, 26 Aug 2006, Cousin Ann Tell sends us details on many more of the family.


22.00--Jean Jacques Luis Basset m. Mary Lavalette on 20 Aug 1767 in Christchurch, Yorkshire, England.

[John M. Gwin Note:  Liz Hicks sent me a photocopy of the old 1767 marriage license.  I transcribe it here with typeset words in boldface type and handwritten words in italic type.  The five signatures are also underlined.]

EXPANDED VERSION



24.01--James Basset m. Jane Susannah Snewin; came to Brooklyn, NY; maybe returned to England; 1 child;

On 6 May 2001 I received the following e.mail from Mr. Richard Snewin:

Subject: Family History - Snewin
Received: 5/06/2001
From: <richard.snewin at ntlworld dot com>
To: john, jmcdgwin@zianet.com

I have been carrying out a "one-name" study of the Snewin name for some 13 years and have extensive information going back continuously to 1680.  Also available is info regarding coins produced by family members between 980 and 1150.  Please note that Susannah Snewin is actually Jane Susannah Snewin, born 31 Mar 1803 at Worthing Sussex, the 1st. child (of 7) of John Snewin and Elizabeth Bailey.  J.S.S. married James [Basset] on 22 Oct 1833 at Broadwater Church, Worthing.

Her parents are buried in the churchyard by the main door to the church.  Her father's notes are as follows:  "Born at 5 o'clock on Friday evening".  Baptized by Mr. Salmon.  Occupation: Carpenter and Builder.  Left family firm in Clapton, London in 1803 and moved to Worthing, a place that had become popular with Royalty and was growing.  Started Snewin and Sons, Builders, Worthing, which is still in business in 2001 although no Snewins are involved in running it.

A Market, authorised (chartered?) by Act of Parliament, with imposing entrances in Ann Street and Market Street, was opened in 1810.  It was square with stalls around the outer walls and a pump in the centre, earning revenue of £30 per annum for the town.  This was sold for £600 to John circa 1820, who used it as the firm's yard.  "...departed this life on Tuesday, June 9th, 1835, aged 60, died and buried at Worthing."  Buried at St. Mary's, Broadwater, Sussex.  Gravestone reads, "In Memory of John Snewin, died June 9, 1835 aged 60 years. He lived respected and died lamented. -also of Elizabeth, his wife died 28 February 1848 aged 70 years".  Gravestone at St. Mary's, Broadwater, is to be found at right hand of path to Church door, immediately before the door.  Will dated 31 January 1828 and proved in Prerogative Court of Canterbury 6th August 1835.  I hope this is of interest, but should you want any further details, let me know.  Regards, Dick Snewin

James Basset, 1st child of J. J. L. Basset, married Jane Susannah Snewin 22 October 1833 at Worthing.  She was the first child (of six) of John Snewin (1775-1835) and Elizabeth Bailey (1778-1848) of Worthing.  They moved from Hackney, Middlesex in 1802.  More can be seen of the Snewin line back to a marriage of Elkanah Snewin and Elizabeth Stanes on 2 July 1682 at St. James, Dukes Place, London, in 1682 on www.snewin.org if you are interested.  Sincerely, Dick Snewin

    John Gwin's Comments

    Louis Bassit 36 M England Grocery keeper We've been looking for Louis' place of death and burial for a long time.  Knowing now that he resided in Matagorda with his family makes us believe that this may be his final resting place.  I wrote to genealogist Carol Gibbs of Matagorda, who responded:
    I did see the family on the 1850 and then the wife and daughter in 1860. They were living in the town of Matagorda both years and in their own household in 1850.  It appears the wife and daughter were living in the Colorado House which was the hotel owned by Galen Hodges. Hodges owned a home next door, but looking at the list, I believe it is the list of hotel occupants.
     
    We do have cemetery records for Matagorda Cemetery, but Mr. Bassett is not listed. There is no one by that name in our list at all. I'm sure if he died in Matagorda between 1850  and 1860, he would be there. The grave might have been marked at one time, but due to hurricanes (at least five bad ones since his death) the marker could have been washed away. If the marker was wooden, it would not have lasted this long.
    See my page for Louis Basset and Sarah Gwin Basset.

    Sarah 24 F Alabama
    Sarah Gwin Basset is the daugher of John and Jane Walker Gwin. 

    Emma M. 7 F Alabama
    Emma M. Basset is the only survivor of two known children.  She married Champe Carter McCulloch and had many descendents, many of whom are listed on my page for Louis Basset and Sarah Gwin Basset.
    James L. (or S.?)
    6 M New York
    James L. Basset is most likely the only child of Louis' brother James Basset who married Mary Snewin in Worthing, England, and took her to New York.  I believe they may have died there, and it appears that Louis may have brought the son, James, to Matagorda to live with his relatives.  The middle initial "L" could be for Lavalette; however, in keeping with the traditions of the day, to me it is more likely a mistranscribed "S" for his mother's maiden name, Snewin.
    Thanks for this update, Jeffrey! :-)
     
    Cousin Liz Hicks wrote "Basset Family of Old Cahaba "for the book, The Heritage of Dallas County, Alabama, published in 2004.  A copy of the article was sent to me by Cousin Barbara Ward.  Enclosed in these boxes are excerpts relating to each of the children of John James Louis Basset and Mary Miles.
    (1) James settled in Brooklyn, New York, left children, but contact lost.



    Enter Ann Tell again in November 2019



    Ann Tell from Aurelia, Iowa, messaged me, John Gwin, on Facebook in February 2017:

    John,
                You helped me with some of the Bassett genealogy about ten years ago.  We have enjoyed Old Cahawba [in Dallas County, Alabama] twice now and found the Bassett gravesite.  Love the cemetery.  Thanks for helping me.
    In November 2019 the conversation continued, and I learned that her connection was through her husband, Jim.
    Jim, my husband, is a son of Walter Snewin Bassett's daughter, Fritzi.

    And so, starting in December 2019 with seeing the name SNEWIN related to our Bassets, I have been able to continue the above line as follows:

    22.00--Basset, b. unk.;
    23.00--John James Louis Basset, m. in England to Mary Miles;

                                                                                   OBITUARY
               Funeral services for James “Jim” Tell, 86, of Aurelia, Iowa will be 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 3, 2023 at the First
    United Methodist Church in Aurelia with Pastor Linda Morris officiating. Interment will follow at the Pleasant Hill Cemetery, rural Aurelia. Visitation will be from 1:00 p.m. until service time on Saturday, with the family present, at the church. A memorial fund has been established.

              James Frederick Tell was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on July 16, in the middle of the historic heat wave of 1936.  J. Norman and Fritzi (Bassett) Tell welcomed their first child, “Jimmy”, who was later joined by Warren “Cap” and Wilbern “Butch” Tell as playmates. They had two brothers who died in childhood, Daryl and Kevin, and a sister Paula.

              Jim graduated from high school in Brainerd, Minnesota in 1954, serving on the Student Council for three years and graduating as a “Best Scholar”.  Although Jim attended one semester at Brainerd Junior College, he was eager to start earning an income and started working in retail at Scotts.  In 1956 he started working at Kresge’s which grew to become Kmart. After living in many cities, he retired as Kmart’s midwest district manager in 1981. He didn’t like having nothing to do, so he went back to work as a manager at Best Buy in Des Moines for a few years.
              While working at Kresge’s, he fell in love with a department clerk. On July 22, 1957, Jim and Carol Albrecht (that clerk) married at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. They had three children: Cathy, Pam, and Ken.  After forty years of marriage, Carol passed away of colon cancer on November 18, 1997.            In 2000, Jim discovered that he enjoyed his blueberry iMac and met Ann (Julius) Sweeney in February, who was on her strawberry iMac. By writing, they discovered a strong relationship. They met in person shortly after Valentine’s Day when Jim called Ann for a date. “I already have a date that day.” “Well, cancel it.” She did cancel it and they met, later marrying at the Aurelia United Methodist Church on April 22, 2000. Ann, who had three children: Tom, Laura, and Rebecca Sweeney, was teaching journalism and literature at Cherokee High School at the time.
             Jim tantalized Ann into retiring from her teaching by promising that she would no longer have to eat canned green beans and could travel extensively. And travel they did! They traveled to every state except Alaska (and they had tickets to go, but Jim had a serious stroke and they had to cancel). They traveled to England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Panama, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, Mexico, and the equator. Jim and Ann also took several Elderhostel trips, now called Road Scholar, to cities and parks in the United States. Out of the several Southern states they started wintering in Gulf Shores, Alabama with friends. When Ann retired she asked Jim where he wanted to live, saying, “You are a city boy, we can move to anywhere you want.” His reply, “I am not leaving Aurelia. There are so many good people here.” The next day he bought a cemetery plot for both of them.
              Volunteering was important to Jim. He joined Kiwanis and was president for a few terms.  He was president of the Aurelia Heritage Society. He was a trustee of First Aurelia United Methodist Church for several years.  He was mayor of Aurelia in 2011-13 and won by write-in votes. Governor Tom Vilsack presented him the Volunteerism Award in 2003.
              Jim inherited his father’s skill as a carpenter and dearly loved to make many things: clocks, games, boxes, frames. He loved to play card games, particularly bridge and Pegs & Jokers.  You could almost always find him with a crossword book on his desk or lap and usually doing the words in ink with a pen made from wood from the USS Constitution.
              When wintering in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, Ann and Jim often hiked the back-country trails.  At home, Jim enjoyed gardening and had a favorite robin he would often toss a worm to.  Their house had a huge garden and a cherry tree, an apple tree, a peach tree, and a plum tree.
              FindAGrave searches kept his interest--searching to fill a request for people around the world and even cataloging the cemeteries in Aurelia and surrounding communities.
              Jim lived his last two and a half years in Wel-Life in Alta, Iowa surrounded by medical people he considered family.  He passed away on May 29, 2023 at Accura Healthcare of Aurelia of amyloidosis.
              Preceding Jim in death were his first wife Carol, four brothers Kevin, Daryl, Warren, and Wilbern, his mother Fritzi and father Norm Tell.
              Surviving are his wife Ann Tell of Aurelia, daughter Catherine Johnson of Des Moines, IA, Catherine's daughters Laura and husband Drew DeRuiter of Marion, IA, and Martha Krull of West Des Moines, IA, and great-granddaughters Avery and Emma De Ruiter and Amelia Krull and son Steven and wife Katy Johnson and grandson Miles; daughter Pamela and husband Gregg Nolte of San Diego, CA, and sons Brad Nolte and Matt and wife Katyrose Nolte and grandson Benjamin Nolte;  son Kenneth and wife Heather Tell of Richmond, VA, and triplets Liam, Hannah, and Kayleigh, one sister, Paula Tell of Bolivar, MO, two sisters-in-law Joanne Julius of Salina, KS, and Patricia Tell of Fergus Falls, MN, and brother-in-law John and wife Paige Julius of Phoenix, AZ.
