Research Notes

Copied Directly From :

Descendants of Deacon Samuel and Ann Bass / comp. by C.T. Bass, ... Bass, Charissa Taylor, 1863. Pg. 15. [7]

• Mary Adams, has many times been given as the widow of Samuel Webb. In the Mayflower Soc. Publications the Will of Joseph Adams², I quote:

“Mary Adams³ daughter of Joseph Adams² and Abigail Baxter, has many times been given as the widow of Samuel Webb,”. In the Mayflower Soc. Publications, the Will of Joseph Adams², her father, shows Mary was married before 18 July 1694, and was not the widow of Samuel Webb. Samuel Bass³ was Deacon in the Old South Church, Braintree, where he always lived, was in King Philip’s War and was listed 24 June 1675 as Capt. Johnson’s Co., and he received a Narragansett Grant of Land. He was a cooper by trade and in his latter years lived in East Bridgewater with his son Capt. Jonathan.
