14. George Everett BASSFORD (George², William¹). Born on 22 Jan 1859 in Sevastopol, Door Co., WI.^2,15 George Everett died in Door Co., WI, on 9 Jun 1888.¹⁵

The IGI gives his birthdate as 22 Jan 1859,² which is before the marriage date given for George and Joanna.³ Is it possible that he was a son from George’s first marriage even though his marriage record lists his mother as being “Alidd J. Ressing”?³ (His age at the time of the 1870 census was given as 12, which would correspond to a birthdate of abt 1858.¹⁰ This would put the date even earlier than that given in the IGI.)
