AND that makes it PERFECT to match what we have for the William Howlett below...

Research

THIS IS to see IF This William H Bassett is related to the Amos Herbert Bassett, both born New York

BOTH moved, lived, loved, died and William is buried in Colorado...............

And Amos Herbert was "residing in Colorado" but had to go to the military hospital and passed there.

1880/1885 They were both living in Colorado but 200 miles apart, Amos Herbert was in Brown's Park, Routt County, front range east of Denver And William Howett was in Saguache County, in the mountains east of Pueblo. So they may have never met, let alone been relatives?????
