Seventh Generation (Continued)
Family of Benjamin H. BASFORD (264) & Eliza Ann BURNS
654. Charles G. BASFORD (Benjamin H.6, David5, Benjamin4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born abt 1850 in New York. [2], [441], [250] age 6 months in 1850 census, age 10 in 1860 census, age 20 in 1870 census. Charles G. died ? .
Deed of land from Eliza (Burns) Basford's brothers (Hiram, Joseph, and George) to Benjamin H. Basford shortly after Eliza's death indicated that she "died without children." [787] However, the 1850 census shows that Benjamin and Eliza Basford had a son Charles E. who was 6 months old. Also, the 1860 census shows a son Charles, age 10, and the 1870 census shows a son Charles, age 20. Was he Benjamin's son from a previous marriage? (This doesn't make sense since he was only 6 months old at this time--unless perhaps his mother had died in childbirth, and Benjamin had quickly remarried?) Or perhaps the Charles died before Eliza did? Or perhaps he was adopted?
For now, I will assume that he is the Charles Bassford, who together with his wife Sarah "Minnie" Williams, had a daughter Mabel Pearl Bassford, b. 27 Jun 1887, Constable, NY. [17]
[17], [2], [441], [250], [23]
He married Sarah WILLIAMS, ? . Born ? . Sarah died ? . aka: Lena Minnie, Mamie.
[17], [23]
They had the following children:
[23] gives marriage as 22 Feb 1865, but this doesn't seem to fit.
