[53], [78], [11], [108]

I assume that the Katherine, age 7, in the 1850 census [65] would be the same person as the Mary, age 14, listed in the 1860 census [66] since there is only one daughter listed between George and James. However, it is possible that there were two different daughters.

[65], [66], [11], [108]

James and Mary were living with their son Richard at the time of the 1910 census. [168]

[65], [66], [78], [11], [106], [148], [108], [168], [251], [109], [252]

He married Mary Elizabeth WELLS, daughter of (?) WELLS & Arellie (WELLS), abt 1872 in Maryland. [168] married 38 years in 1910 census. Born in 1851 in Maryland. [252] Mary Elizabeth died in Edgewater, MD, on 1 Nov 1945. [109] age 94. Buried in Christ Episcopal Church Cemetery, Owensville, MD. [252]

[11], [106], [46], [108], [109], [252]

They had the following children:
343 i. Florence V. (1872-1965)
344 ii. James Henry Jr. (1874-1952)
345 iii. William Mack (1876-1943)
346 iv. Mary Ann (1879-1945)
347 v. Richard Irving (1882-1940)
348 vi. George Albert (1885-1966)

[109] gives marriage as 12 Nov 1891, which is inconsistent with census data which indicates they had been married 38 years in 1910. Perhaps it should be 12 Nov 1871.?

158. Jane Ida BASFORD (Henry4, Benjamin3, Thomas2, Thomas1). Born abt 1849 in Anne Arundel Co., MD. [65], [66], [78] age 6 months in 1850 census, age 11 in 1860 census, age 21 in 1870 census. Jane Ida died ? . aka: Ida J. [32]

I assume that the daughter Jane, age 11, in the 1860 census, [66] would be the unnamed infant in the 1850 census, even though the sex of the infant was given as male. [65]

She is probably the Jane I. Bassford listed in the 1870 federal census of District 8, Anne Arundel Co., MD, p. 788 [78]
