A Standard History of Kansas and Kansans, Volume IV (1918) by William E. Connelley James Bassett was a pioneer figure in Kansas. He arrived in the territory in 1857 and from that time forward until his death which occurred at Dover in Shawnee County, December 26, 1915, he was an upright, conscientious, hard-working and successful citizen. He came to Kansas from Onondaga County, New York. A native of England, he was born in Glastonbury, January 25, 1836, and was one of the nine children of Joseph and Elizabeth (Hale) Bassett. Some years later, in 1849, Joseph Bassett set out for America, determined to establish a home for himself and family in the New World. He found a favorable location in Skaneateles, New York. A year later he went back to England and returned with his family to America. The rigors of a long voyage on board a sailing vessel, which was meagerly provisioned and watered, proved too much for Mrs. Bassett, who died a few days after landing in this country. Joseph Bassett married again, and he and his wife spent the remainder of their days in Skaneateles. 1841 British Census of Northland Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, England Joseph Bassett - 40 - M - Gardener - Not born in County Elizabeth - 30 - F - Born in County Joseph - 10- M - Born in County Thomas - 8 - M - Born in County James - 6 - M - Born in County Elizabeth - 4 - F - Born in County Emma - 1 - F - Born in County 1850 Federal Census of Skaneateles, Onondaga County, New York Joseph Bassett - 40 - M - England - Laborer Joseph - 18 - M - England - Laborer Mary - 18 - F - England Thomas - 16 - M - England - Laborer James - 14 - M - England Elizabeth - 12 - F - England Emma - 10 - F- England Fanny - 7 - F - England
