Biography

From Pages 1 & 2 & 3 & 4: The Baskin(s) Family of South Carolina & Pennsylvania with Stephens and Martin notes by Raymond Martin Bell, Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania 1975.pdf

page 1 & 2 The first record of William Baskin is in 1732 when his name appears on the tax list of East Nottingham Twp, Chester Co, PA. It is also listed 1733 1734 1735 1736. John Baskin is listed for 1735 and 1736. John paid £ 1/3 and William £ 1/9 in taxes. Both names are gone in 1737. They likely moved to the Paxton (PA) region just then opening. They had landed at Philadelphia.

After a few years many settlers moved from Paxton southwest to Augusta (then Orange) County Virginia. William Baskin likely did this for his name appears in the Virginia records in 1740. The Orange Co, VA Order Book 2, p 218 has the following entry: At a Court held for Orange County on Thursday the 24th day of July 1740... John Pickens made oath that he imported himself, Margaret, Eleanor, Margaret the younger, Gabriel Pickens and William Baskins from Ireland into Philadelphia and from thence into this Colony at his own charge and that this is the first time of proving his and their right in order to obtain land which is ordered to be certified.

John Pickens was in Paxton in 1735. Tradition says that William Baskin moved from Paxton to Virginia, He may have been related to John Pickens. In 1765 William Baskin moved from Virginia to Abbeville County, South Carolina, (There is no further record of John Baskin of Nottingham. He may have died at Paxton about 1740, leaving sons, William, James, Francis and possibly Thomas. William's son, John was in South Carolina in 1774.)

A Robert Baskin died in Augusta County before 1749. William Baskin was named administrator Nov 29 - 1750. His widow owned land adjoining John Pickens 1749-59; in 1761 it was owned by Thomas, son of William. Andrew Baskin appears in Augusta in 1752; later in Kershaw and Lancaster Cos, S.C. The relation of William Baskin to Robert and Andrew is not known.

There are many records of William Baskin in Augusta County. His son, Charles, was baptized Mar 15 - 1741 by Rev. John Craig. William's name appears on a 1742 muster roll. In 1745 he resigned as constable. In 1747 he became road overseer. In 1747 he bought 212 acres on Lewis Creek; in 1749, 232 acres on Buffalo Run. He had a servant in 1752 and in 1761. William Baskin Sr had married Mary Stuart. There were a number of Stuarts in Augusta Co. William had six sons. All are listed in Virginia, except Hugh, the youngest. John is first listed in 1756, Thomas in 1758, William, Jr in 1756 and Charles and James in 1765.

page 3 William Baskin Sr came to America from Ireland about 1731, for his name first appears in Chester Co PA records in 1732. He went to Paxton about 1737. In 1740 John Pickens told the Orange Co VA court that William Baskin had landed at Philadelphia and had settled in Virginia. In 1746 Baskin, Pickens and others asked the governor and council of South Carolina to purchase from the Cherokee Indians the land around Ninety-Six and Long Cane and make it available for settlement. This was done in 1747, but Indian troubles discouraged settlement. William Baskin gave up the idea of going to South Carolina and in May 1747 bought 212 acres from John Pickens.

The Baskins attended Augusta (Stone) Presbyterian Church in Virginia and Rocky River Presbyterian Church in South Carolina. James T. Baskin wrote in 1914 from Lowndesville: William Baskin, the head of the family, came from Ireland to Juniata Valley, Pa, thence to near historic Stone Church, Va and on to S.C. William Baskin married Mary Stuart in Ireland, William Baskin Jr married Annie Reid Jan 12-1769. William Jr was a captain in the Rangers in the Revolution. He lived and died in sight of where I now live. We have his commission sealed and signed by the Governor of South Carolina.

III. NORTHERN BRANCHES

The Juniata Settlement (Pennsylvania)

The Paxton (Pa) region was purchased from the Indians and thrown open for settlement in 1736, This was the land south of the Blue Mountains, near what is now Harrisburg. A flood of settlers, mostly Scotch-Irish, moved in and rapidly took up claims for land. Many did not leave a permanent record for they pushed on southwest into the Cumberland and Shenandoah Val leys. Among the families to come were the Baskins. The first record is of William (b c 1722) who in 1?44 joined a group from Paxton, including Francis Ellis and Thomas McKee, sent to investigate the murder of John Armstrong, an Indian trader near Mount Union. It is likely that William's father, probably John, moved to Paxton from Chester Co about 1737. William was in the colonial militia 1747-46 under Capt Thomas McKee.

In 1749 the land east of the Susquehanna River and north of the Blue Mountains was purchased from the Indians. In the 1750-51 tax list for the Narrows of Paxton Twp, Lancaster (now Dauphin) Co are listed James, William and Francis Baskins. (In Pa an "s" was added.) They were at the mouth of the Juniata on or near the two large islands. Francis is listed as a trader. A possible fourth brother, Thomas, was younger and not married. The complete list of taxables is given: Widow Murray, Robert Armstrong, John Armstrong, Thomas Gaston, William Forster, Thomas Clark, John McKennedy, Robert Clark, Thomas Adams, Hulbert Adams, John Watt, William Baskins, George Wells, Francis Glass, George Clark, John Mecheltree, Francis Baskins (trader), John Clark, James Reed, James English, John Gevlns, James Baskins, Thomas McKee, John Kelton (collector), Charles Williams (freeman), John Lee (freeman) (trader).

A deed at Harrisburg (1839) recites; "In the latter part of the year 1749 Joseph Thornton, Michael Paxton, George Clark and Francis Baskins settled and made improvements upon the Island called the Big Island," William Baskins settled on the smaller, adjoining, Duncan's Island, and James Baskins on the west shore. In 1733 John Harris and in 1742 Thomas McKee had been Indian traders on Big Island. In 1745 David Brainard, a missionary, found Conoy Indians living on Big Island. In June 1750 the white settlers on the west side of the Susquehanna were moved out by the provincial authorities. Yet in January 1767 James Baskins said that he had settled at the mouth of the Juniata 16 years before - likely the fall of 1750. When the Proprietaries had Big Island surveyed Nov 13 - 1760 It was known as "Baskins Island". On the southern tip was marked "Old Conoy Town", In 1762 Marcus Hulings drew a map which showed where Baskins' lived.

In 754 the land north of the Blue Mountains and west of the Susquehanna was purchased from the Indians. At the same time the French expansion led to George Washington's defeat at Fort Necessity. The defeat of Braddock in July 1755 loosened the flood-gates and in a matter of weeks all had fled to Paxton, which was under attack by October.

Indian Wars

Previously the provincial authorities had been reluctant to do anything, but now troops were authorized and forts were planned. Fort Hunter was already defending the gap in the Blue Mountains through which the Susquehanna flowed. Another fort a few miles up the river was planned at Armstrong's (now Halifax, Pa). On June 7-1756 they began to fell timber for the fort, which was to be built where there was an abundance of pine. Two hundred logs, 30 feet long, were squared. On July 1 there was an officer with thirty men at the fort, called Fort Halifax. William Baskins supplied 1660 feet of pine boards. The Province paid his estate £ 6-12-0 for them on April 15-1757.

Evidently before William Baskins fled in Oct 1755 to Fort Hunter or Paxton he put in a crop of wheat. In July 1756 he returned to Duncan's Island to try to harvest it. Indians were rather active, having challenged Fort Granville (now Lewistown) on July 22. On July 29 (1756) the Indians came down the river and killed William Baskins and took as prisoner his wife, Mary, his daughter, Margaret, age 7, and a son, age 3. The next day Fort Granville was attacked and burned by the French and the Indians. Cumberland County and Paxton were panic stricken. On Aug 21 the inhabitants petitioned the authorities at Philadelphia for help.

Colonel John Armstrong marched from Carlisle to Kittanning and defeated the Indians, relieving some of the pressure. It was not safe to return to the Juniata. It was necessary to run boats of supplies from Harris' to Fort Augusta (Sunbury). Among the "battoe men" were Thomas Baskins and Francis Ellis 1757-58, as well as other neighbors. By the summer of I76I a few settlers ventured back. By 1762 there were quite a number. Francis Baskins died in the summer of 1761, probably before he could return. So James Baskins was the only brother left, although Francis' widow returned to Big Island and William's widow remarried and lived nearby.

The outbreak of the Pontlac War in July 1?63 once more drove all the settlers south of the Blue Mountains. Not until after Bouquet's invasion of Ohio in the fall of 1764 did the settlers try to return. Francis Ellis married William Baskins' widow. The situation is summed up in David Ross' petition regarding Duncan's Island and in Marcus Hulings' letters.

Petition May 5 - 1767. When David Ross Ren'd the Hand of the Widow Basquin's...all the Buildings and Fences was all Burnt, ye Place lying six or seven years & no Person Living on it, was hard to clear when Ross came on It as Ever It was. He hired hands & with his own Industry cleared Fifteen Acres. Fenced it 4 put Grain in ye Ground, and Builded a House on said place, and Before he received any Benefit thereof the Indian War Broke out, he was forced to Fly, Loosing several of his creatures which he left Behind him. Two years he worked Day Labour to mintain his family...Needeessity doth not make Francis Ellis Distress this poor man in the Manner he is agoing to do, for he and his wife has two Large Farms of their own Besides the Hand Ross lives on...William Richardson, Saml Goudy, Marcus Hulings, James Reed, Samuel Cochran, Abraham Jones, Sarah fforster, Thos fforster, Samuel Hunter, (Eglei Notes & Queries 1881, p 208)

Letters Fort Pitt May 7 & 17 - 1762.a Place I Emproved and lived on one Year and half.,, till the enemyes in the beginning of the last Warrs drove me away...the place called the Onion bottom.. .where I lived six months before I moved to the other place, Marcus Hulings (Eglei Notes 4 Queries 1881, p 98)

James Baskins by his location at the mouth of the Juniata had an excellent place for running a ferry. It is not known when he started it, but it is mentioned in Jan 1767. A few miles up the Juniata another ferry was run by Andrew Stephen who may have been a brother-in-law. In 1767 the children of William and Francis Baskins were living nearby. Two of James Baskins daughters were married. The oldest, Catherine Stephens, lived on Big Island.

The Indian Captives

On July 29 - 1756 the Indians attacked the family of William Baskins on Duncan's Island. The Pennsylvania Gazette tells how they killed William and carried off his wife and children. The Virginia papers copied the account. There were five Baskins children! John 11, Moses 9, Margaret 7, Nancy 5, a boy 3. The wife and Margaret and the three-year old were captured. The other children were not with the parents or they escaped.

The wife, Mary, was released in 1759: Margaret in 1765: the boy was found living near Detroit as "Timothy Murphy". The Journal of George Croghan (Pa Magazine 71, 352) reads: Sept 19 - 1759 Pittsburgh - the Delawares (Lenni Lenape) delivered me "Mary Baskins and two white boys". This was the widow. The records of Col Henry Bouquet list Nov 15 - 1764 - Peggy Baskin "taken from the English Camp at the forks of the Muskingum to Fort Pitt". This was the daughter.

Women did not remain widows long on the frontier. About 1760 Mary Baskins married — - Findley, A William Findley is listed in William Baskins' estate. Margaret Baskins, the daughter also married (first) a Findley. Mary's husband must have died during the Pontlac War for on June 20 - 1765 Mary Baskins Findley married Francis Ellis. In 1767 the wife of Francis Ellis is called the former Widow Baskins. In 1771 James Baskins, administrator of the William Baskins estate, entered a judgment against Francis and Mary Ellis. Francis Ellis had a grandson, Robert Findley Ellis. Mary died before 1784.

It looks as if Mary Baskins was held captive 3 years, and Peggy 8 years. The boy came back years later on a visit from Canada. He was known as Timothy Murphy. The oldest son of Mary, John Baskins, while on an expedition in the Ky - Tenn area was taken prisoner by the Kicapoos in Illinois in July 1?68. He was taken to Detroit and later got to Fort Pitt. In 1774 he was in South Carolina - in the 1780's in Tennessee.

There are four accounts of William Baskins' death:

1. The Pennsylvania Gazette. Thursday, Aug 5-1756,

"We have Advice from Cumberland County, that on the 22d ult about 60 Indians appeared before Fort Granville, and challenged the Commander of It to come out and fight them; but that he being but weak handed, did not think proper to accept of the Challenge; that they fired at, and wounded, one of the Men that belonged to the Fort in the Thigh, who happened to be a little Way from it, but not so badly but that he got safe in; that they lurked about the Place for some Time, expecting to catch some of our People, but they being upon their Guard, were disappointed; and that then they went off, after shooting down all the Cattle they could find,

"We hear further from the same "Place, that on Thursday last twelve Indians (Part of those that were at Fort Granville) went to the Plantation of one Baskins, near Juniata, whom they murdered in a cruel Manner, burnt his House, and carried off his Wife and Children. That one Hugh Carroll and Family were made Prisoners about the same time by some Indians, who asked Carroll a great many Questions, particularly with respect to the Strength of Harrises, Hunter's and McKee's Forts; and said they would soon shew him a great Number of French and Indian, who, they told him, were coming down to fall upon this Province 1 but that he, notwithstanding they thought they had tied him very securely, made Shift to untie himself In the Night, and made his Escape,"

This dates it as July 29 - 1756. Letters of administration in Cumberland County were Issued to James Baskins and Arthur Forster in the William Baskins estate on Aug 28 - 1756.

2. Rupp's History of Dauphin and other Cos, 1846, p 338 as reported by Michael Steever.

"At one time when Mr William Baskins, granduncle to Cornelius and James Baskins, having a crop of grain on what is now called Duncan's Island (having however previous removed his family to Fort Hunter for security) returned with part of his family to cut the grain; and while engaged, all on a sudden they were startled by a yell or whooping of Indians, who were hard by; however, on discovering they were neighbors, their alarms were quieted; but, alas! they were deceived; for the barbarous savages, as soon as near enough, gave them to distinctly to understand that their object was their scalps! At this moment they all fled in consternation, hotly pursued, towards the house, and when there Mr Baskins, in the act of getting his gun, was shot dead and scalped! his wife, a daughter of about seven, and a son three years old, were abducted.

"Mrs Baskins affected her escape from the Indians somewhere near Carlisle; the daughter was taken to the Miami country, west of the Ohio, then an unbroken wilderness, where she was detained for more than six years, when in conformity to a treaty made with the Indians, she was delivered up, and returned. She was afterwards married to Mr John Smith, whose son James is now residing in Newport, Perry County, and to whom I am indebted for this interesting tradition. The lad, that was taken at the same time, was carried to Canada, where he was raised by Sir William Johnson, not knowing the name of the boy, when he was baptized by a missionary, was named Timothy Murphy. He was afterwards discovered by Alexander Stephens, Mr James Stephens' father, who resides in Juniata Township, Perry County, by some peculiar mark on his head. He has visited his friends in Perry, James Smith, his nephew, when at Canada in defence of his country, during the late war (1812), visited him and found him comfortably situated near Maiden in Upper Canada (Ontario), and the owner of a large estate."

3. James Smith's daughter, Isabella, was born Feb 16-1814, On Jan 29-1898 she wrote: "Our grandmother was taken prisoner by the Indians, when seven years old, was 14 when they got her back. Her brother was five years old, him they never got. Their name was Baskins. Rachel Finley was her first husband's child. She was a half-sister to your mother and my fat- her. Agnes was Mitchell's girls mother, Mary was your mother's name, Rachel died a maiden lady John Smith was the youngest brother, lived with his brother, James.....in Lewistown."

4. Account given by William Baskins (b 1826) in Iowa in 1914, as told by his grandfather, George Baskins (1761 - 1852), a nephew of William d 1756. In error William of Iowa thought it was George's father, rather than uncle.

"When a small boy he and his brother who was almost a young man went early one morning into the woods to hunt for their horses. Their mother had been called to attend to a sick neighbor the night before and took the baby, a little girl, with her. The boys heard shots fired and crept to the edge of the clearing to see their father and the other children dragged out by Indians, All but one or two children were killed and these were carried away captive. Their home was burned. The boys hid in the brush and so escaped."

John Baskins, whose father was killed in 1756, was captured by the Indians in 1768. The account is from unpublished papers in the Archives of Pennsylvania.

"Samuel Black and John Baskins - Account of Indians when Prisoners. Monday Evening the 26th Sept 1768 about six o'clock Saml Black and John Baskins arrived here (Fort Pitt?) via Detroit and inform as follows viz: That having been in Company with John Higgins and Eleven other Men in a large Batteau about 300 Miles up the Shawney River on or about the 28th of June they two set off about Ten Miles further up the said River to choose proper Hunting Ground where they continued Five Days and then returned to the Place where they had left the boat and found four dead Bodies of Men lying at the place whoa they judged to be Danl Kennedy, Jas Wethen, Frederick Myer and John Giles. They then descended the River about 40 miles to a place where they had left some Com and Salt and there found a letter from Joseph Hollinshead dated the 2d July ordering any man belonging to any of the Boats that were out to follow him to the Ohio whence he would delay some time. In consequence of which they still proceeded down the Shawney and Ohio Rivers till they reached the Cherokee Fort which they effected in 5 days without overtaking Mr Hollinshead or any other boat. From the Cherokees Fort they set off for Fort Chartres but on the second day were attacked & taken prisoners by a party of Thirty Kicapoos who carried them to Detroit which they reached the 1st of August."

Notes 1 Shawney • Cumberland River 1 Fort Chartres = 12 mi north of Kaskaskia, Illinois; Cherokee Fort = on Ohio south of mouth of Cumberland; Black, Higgin and Myers appear in S.C. records.

This John Baskins, son of William, was a blacksmith in District 96, S.C. in 1774, as shown by a deed at Carlisle, Pa. He had cousins in this part of S C. During the Revolution John lived in Washington Co, Tenn (then N C). He is listed in court records in 1781, 1782, 1784. On June 12 - 1783 the commissioners paid him for Revolutionary services - three payments totaling £ 16- 11-8. That year he was granted 173 acres on Onion Branch of Little Limestone Creek. He likely moved south for in 1791 his name is in Greene Co, Tenn records. Here he married (secondly) Mary Middleton on Dec 7 - 1790. John was in Sevier Co in 1799; his widow was in Roane Co 1805. There is a Baskins Creek at Gatlinburg, Tenn. John's cousin, Susannah Baskins Gray, lost her husband in 1781, when the Indians killed him in what is now Greene Co, Pa.

This pioneer family had more than the average share of troubles; the father killed in 1756, the mother a captive for 3 years, the daughter a captive for 8 years, one son never came back and lived in Canada, another son captured in 1768. The other two children were Moses, who died in 1777, and Nancy (Ann), whose husband died in 1777 while serving as a Revolutionary captain.

Note: #N1031

William Baskin Sr. came from Ireland, according to Virginia court records. Based on the geographical occurances of the name Baskin in the early 1800s, genealogist Raymond Martin Bell speculates that William likely came from the Mount Charles area of County Donegal.^[1] He arrived in the British colonies in Philadelphia around 1731. In 1732, he first appears on the tax list of East Nottingham Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.^[1]

William Sr. came to America in 1730/31 from Ireland. William and his wife, Mary Stuart, helped to erect the first school and church in what became Augusta Co, Va. and in Abbyville Co.

Carolinia Convention to vote on whether to accept the federal constitution and join the Union. John Baskin, brother of William and Robert was great grand father of Alexander Hamilton Stevens, Vice President of the Confederate States. Great Grandfather Abraham Laster donated the land and helped build the first school and church in Johnson County ARkansas. Greatgreat grandfather Frederick Laster donated the land for the first cemetery in Harmony, Arkansas. Uncle Mon Laster donated the land for the present cemetery and one of his children was the first one buried there in 1868. As Taken from papers written by Robert Thurlow Baskin for my mother Alma Baskin Ashlock.
