PREFACE.
To preserve to the scattered individuals of the race some memo-
rial of their progenitors, this account of the emigrant Bascom and
his descendants has been prepared. In the summer of 1862, while
passing a few days in the little town of Orleans on the outer
shore of Cape Cod, I was shown the last resting place of one of. the
early ministers — the revered Jonathan Bascom. With a minuteness
as laudable as, unfortunately, it is infrequent, the engraver had
placed upon the tombstone the name of the dead man's birth-place,
an obscure town in central Connecticut. A year later, a visit to
that place afforded opportunity for a careful inspection of the town
and church records. From the facts there gathered, augmented by
others furnished me by the few individuals of the name whom I
chanced to know, the nucleus was formed for the genealogy contained
in the following pages. Encouraged by the hearty assistance ex-
tended to me on all sides, I was tempted to extend the limits of the
proposed sketch and include all of the male branches of the family,
so far as they could be reached.
The genealogist, in the prosecution of his work, meets with peculiar
difficulties. He must contend with an indifference amounting in
many cases to total neglect*; with the carelessness of his correspond-
ents, and -oath conflicting statements, traditions and records. Out of
the mass of material finally accumulated he must arrange, select and
collate ; discard what is improper or unfit for publication ; and at
the last produce a result which shall be intelligible, and, above all,
reliable. Entire accuracy in a work of this kind is impossible.
Despite all care it is to be feared that mistakes will be detected in
the following pages. Family records sometimes have differed in the
different branches, and frequently both vary from those of town or
county ; then, too, much of the information has been communicated
PREFACE.
by letter, and in many cases hasty transcripts from the family record,
or indecipherable chirography, should bear the blame if errors be
found in the print.
Within my necessarily circumscribed limits it has been found im-
possible to include more than the briefest notices of individuals. In
many cases there will be found simply the bare dates and names, for
more seemed unattainable except by long delay and much trouble,
few families being more widely scattered, or more roving in their ten-
dencies, than this.
Comparatively few of the male members of previous generations
have been completely lost sight of, and it is believed that with rare
exceptions, all in the United States, bearing by right the family name
of Bascom, can, by simply supplying the given names of parents
or grand-parents, connect directly with one of the lines found in the
following pages.
Much difficulty was experienced in collecting information of a
portion of the Fourth Line. In the biography of the late Methodist
Bishop, Henry-Bidleman Bascom, mention is made of a "genealogi-
cal tree " in the possession of the family, but its present hiding place
no perseverance of mine has been able to discover. Search was in-
stituted, at my request, in the Surrogate Files of all the old New-York
State counties for the will of his grandfather, and Avithout success.
The account of this very interesting branch of the family is conse-
quently defective.
Commenced and carried to completion in the leisure hours scantily
accorded by a crowded profession, there has been to me an indescrib-
able pleasure in the preparation of this genealogy. Imperfect as it
is, there are those to whom it will come who, I know, will give it
their warmest greeting — some far along oil the journey of life, who,
glancing down the long list of names, will recall here and there the
form of one now far distant, or of another long since laid with his
fathers ; and memory with such will clothe the dead once more with
the old virtues and with the old failings, both alike, perchance, long
since forgotten. And of the young, too, there are some to whom
fancy will paint the sturdy forms of their ancestors, of whose very
names they have till now been ignorant, and whose resting place no
man knoweth.
I cannot close without recording the peculiar kindnesses of a
PREFACE. 5
few who have greatly aided me in the compilation of the necessary
material. Mr. Charles Wright, now deceased, was among the
first, and had his life been spared, I doubt not the manuscript,
which for three years has been ready for the press, would long since
have appeared. To Prof. John Bascom, of Williamstown, Mass.,
and to Alonzo Bascom, Esq., of Jaffrey, N. H., I have been largely
indebted for their hearty interest, as well as for the generous pecu-
niary aid guaranteed by them in the publication of the work. Simon
C. Phillips, Esq., of Greenfield, Mass., and Prof. William F. Bas-
com, of Washington, D. C, both among my earliest helpers, have
furnished valuable records of their respective lines ; and to the extreme
kindness of Miss Elizabeth C. Bascom, of Newport, N. H., I am
indebted for very material assistance in the preparation of the branch
there located.
The method of arrangement adopted in the following pages will
be readily understood by the reader. For the sake of convenience,
and in order to keep those of near relationship in proximity, it was
thought advisable to divide the work into parts. Thus Part I. in-
cludes the descent through the oldest line ; Part II. through the
second line, the separation occurring in the third generation ; and
Parts III., IV. and V. through the third, fourth and fifth lines, the
separations occurring in the fourth generation. Under the respective
male heads of families will be found arranged in tabular form the
names of the children, each with a distinctive numeral which is re-
tained throughout. Thus on page 17, the issua of 21. Samuel and
Mary Bascom of the Fifth Generation are 24. Thomas, b. &c. ; on
the next page, under the heading of the Sixth Generation, is found
the family of this Thomas with the numerals (21) 24 prefixed, (21)
being the distinctive numeral of his father Samuel, and 24 that assigned
him in the order of his birth. By this system of double numerals
(remembering that the one in brackets is always that of the father)
the descent of each can be readily traced back without reference to
the Index.

INTRODUCTION.
Of the many families scattered throughout the United States
and Canadas bearing the name in one of its various forms, Bascom,
Bascome, Bascum, Bascomb and Bascombe, by far the largest propor-
tion are descended from a common ancestor, Thomas, who came to
this country about the year 1634, an account of whose descendants
forms the body of this work.
It may not be considered irrelevant, perhaps, to briefly mention, in
this connection, some of the families who appear to have a distinct
origin. A large and important race, spelling their name with a
final e, is widely scattered through the various West Indian Islands :
and individuals are to be found in several of our American cities.
claiming descent from the same. Whether the Bascomes of Ber-
mudas, Demarara, Turk's Island, Barbadoes, St. Domingo and
Jamaica are descended from a common ancestor is uncertain.
Further researches in the records of those islands may substantiate
or disprove the tradition. One Nathan Bascome early settled at
the Bermudas, hading from England, and was Chief- Justice
of the Islands from 1744 to 1748. He, it is claimed, was of a
French family, and after his death his eldest son Paul went to Bor-
deaux to recover the family estates, but was poisoned and died at
Paris. The Chief- Justice had sons : Paul (who was Comptroller of
Customs and married Sarah Gilbert) ; George, a lawyer, who had
three daughters ; and William, a physician, who left one daughter
Elizabeth, who married Wm. Smith, President of the Council. The
eldest son, Paul, left three daughters and one son, Nathaniel, who,
by wife Corbasier, had six sons. Of these Nathaniel and Western
resided in Bermuda ; Edward, a physician, died in the Crimea ; John
was Collector of Turk's Island ; William settled in New York ; and
Paul early deceased.
One Henry Bascom, for many years a resident of Demarara but
a native of Barbadoes, where h brother William resides, are of a
family claiming, through remote ancestry, a French origin.
A few individuals, resident in the States and Canadas, are not ap-
parently connected with either the New England or West Indian
races, having a later foothold on this side of the Atlantic. One John
10 INTRODUCTION.
M. Bascom, of Philadelphia in 1865, is son of Eosario of the same
place, who was son of John, a seaman of Sicily, Italy. In the Pal-
mer, Mass., records we find that Loveland Bascom, a laborer, and
wife Sophia, both born in Canada, had born in Palmer, a son Love-
land, April, 1852; Prudence, Jan. 13, 1853, and another son Sept.
16, 1854.
Of the colored families bearing the stir-name, research has estab-
lished the fact that, in common with many thousand others of the op-
pressed race bearing good old colonial names, they have a claim
obtained through the transgressions of their fathers to a clear if not
a legitimate descent from the New England settler.
Among the earlier residents of Wethersfield, Connecticut, was one
William Bascum, but there is no evidence of any descendants or of
any connection with the forefather of the Northampton family.
Thomas Bascom, the New England settler, is supposed to have
come here from the mother country about the year 1634. Of his
ancestry or of his birth-place we have no information of a positive
character. Too much importance is frequently attached to family
tradition which is as apt, perhaps, to be erroneous as Jtrue. In this
case, however, circumstantial evidence exists, which goes far to
prove the truth of the generally received statement of the early his-
tory of the family. Bishop Henry Bidleman Bascom, in his journal,
writes : " It would seem from family records and tradition that I am
paternally descended from a French Huguenot family, which, driven
from France by the revocation of the edict of Nantz, settled in one
of the border counties near the Clyde. It appears further, that three
brothers, descendants of this family, during the civil disturbances and
religious oppressions which drove so many of the English Puritans
from the land of their birth, emigrated to the then new and feeble
colonies of North America. Two of the brothers remained ; the
third, being dissatisfied, removed to one of the English West India
islands. The remaining two settled in Massachusetts." That the
"leading points thus narrated by the eminent divine are correct, there is
probably little doubt. That the family is of French extraction would
seem likely from the fact that the wholly distinct race, many indi-
viduals of which have occupied and now occupy high positions of
trust in some of the West Indies, is of undeniably French origin.
The account on a preceding page of Nathan Bascome, of the Ber-
mudas, received by me from his descendants, leaves little room for
doubt on this score. The Barbados family, which has no connection
whatever with that of Bermuda, claims also a French origin. In
four out of the five branches of the New England family, separated
from each other since early in the last century, a tradition has been
carefully preserved similar, so far as it relates to the origin of the
family, to the one shared in by Bishop Bascom. It has been main-
INTRODUCTION. 1 1
tabled, on the contrary, that the proper spelling of the name is Bas-
comb or Baseombe, and that the final syllable is one peculiar to some
of the counties of England, hence implying an English extraction.
But it will be noticed that both the elder Thomas, and his son, did
not spell their names with the final b or 6e,tmd that tins mode has never
been adopted by any of their descendants with the exception of a
single branch in Vermont. The name does occur in Scotland, and
to this day is common in some of the Clyde counties ; but this may
readily be accounted for by the supposition that a representative only
of the family emigrated to New England, leaving others there to per-
petuate the race. Even were it shown that Bascombe is a common
English name in this generation, yet do we need a more reasonable
explanation than that the Huguenot settlers there, or their immediate
descendants, readily accepted the county mode, and by a trivial ad-
dition to their patronymic, fell into rank beside the Titcombes, Hol-
combes, Hanscombes and Seccombes ?
Respecting that portion of the Bishop's statement relating to the
"three brothers " I have not so decided an opinion. A large portion
of the New England families claim to have descended from one of
M three brothers," a claim which is generally found, upon examination,
to be unfounded. Perhaps, however, the Bishop is correct, and that
when Thomas settled at Windsor, Connecticut, his brother William
settled at Wethersfield, close by. The Barbados family may have
come from the third brother, who, "being dissatisfied, removed to
one of the English West Indies."
If little is known of the family history of the settler, so, also,
little has come down to us concerning his character. In common
with most of the early emigrants he was a church member, and cer-
tainly enjoyed the regard of his fellow citizens, evinced by his election
to the office of Town Constable, a position requiring, in those trou-
blous times, energy, judgment and bravery. He seems to have pos-
sessed a strong roving tendency, for we find him at Dorchester,
Windsor, Conn., and at Northampton; and his descendants have
largely partaken of this trait, only a small representation now re-
maining near the ancestral home in Massachusetts.
The physical resemblances between individuals of the different
branches, whether derived from the emigrant or from some more re-
mote ancestor, are so very striking as to warrant a notice here. Dur-
ing the last eight years, I have been brought into personal contact
with very many of the name, and have been forcibly impressed with
the strength of this family likeness in both sexes. Many will, I am
sure, call to mind the stout, compact form, the head well set back
upon the shoulders, the dark skin, dark grey eye, massive head, and,
more marked than all, the round, high, full forehead — character-
istics of many of the race, living and dead. With members of
12 INTRODUCTION.
the eldest branch my personal acquaintance is limited, but among its
members may note the late Mr. Charles Wright, of Hinsdale, as
possessing several of the peculiarities named ; descendants of 38
Nathan Bascom also possess them. In the second branch the like-
ness exists in a remarkable degree ; taking, for instance, the fifth
generation, I have met descendants of 212 Daniel, 217 John, 219
Jonathan, and 220 William, and recall hardly an instance where
this does not occur. It will be noticed that 218 Elisha, of this
branch, married his relative, Elizabeth, of the youngest or fifth
branch, and I expected in their descendants to find the same features ;
nor was I disappointed, for the daguerreotype of a grandson, now be-
fore me, might well be taken for that of a dozen others in both these
lines. In the third branch I have had less opportunities of judging
than in the others, but sketches of the characters of some of its pro-
minent men lead me to infer that physical peculiarities may be as
marked here, as are the mental. The fourth and fifth branches form
no exception to the general rule, both numbering many men and
women, any one of whom might readily be taken as the type of the
family. Truly the progenitors of the race must have been strongly
individualized thus to have implanted in their progeny, through so
many generations, such distinctive, ineradicable characteristics.
THOMAS BASCOM AND HIS DESCENDANTS.
PART I.
FIRST GENERATION.
1. Thomas Bascom came to this country probably not far from the
year 1634, at which time he was established at Dorchester, and from
whence, in 1639, he removed to Windsor, Connecticut, one of the
second company that settled at that place. No record of his marriage
or of the birth of his eldest daughter, Hannah, has been found ; both
these events undoubtedly took place prior to his removal to Connecti-
cut. At Windsor three of his children were born, and here he con-
tinued until his removal to Northampton, Massachusetts. Of the
exact date of this change in his residence we are ignorant, but he was
probably one of the earliest settlers of that most beautiful township.
The first mention of his name to be found in the records of that place
is the date of his own and wife's admission to full communion in the
church — the 14th day of the 5th month, 1661. In 1666 he was elect-
ed Town Constable, made freeman in May, 1670, took the oath of
allegiance Feb. 8, 1678-9, and died there May 9, 1682. His wife,
Avis, died Feb. 3, 1676.
His will, as recorded in the Probate Office at Northampton, is as
follows : —
" I, Thomas Bascom, Sen 1 ., of Northampton, being of perfect memo-
ry and understanding, and at p'sent enjoying a competent measure of
health, although I have lived to old age yet knowing not the day of
my death, do therefore in preparation to my Last change Doe make
and constitute this my Last will and testament which is as followeth.
" And as respecting my eternal estate, I know my redeemer Liveth
and that he shal stand at the Latter day on the Earth and wil change
my vile body and make it like his glorious body.
" And as touching my body when it is removed out of this earthly
tabernacle that It be decently buried.
" And as touching those outward blessings w ch the Lord of hfs
mercy hath bestowed on me, I dispose of them in this manner as
followeth.

TIIOMAS BASCOJI AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 15
SECOND GENERATION.
(1) 4. Thomas Bascom, Jr., the only son of the elder Thomas, was
born in Windsor, Ct., Feb. 20, 1641-2. Savage says that he married
March 20, 1667, Mary, dau. of Thomas Newell, of Farmington, but
Edwards, in History of Southampton, claims that he married Mary
Baldytix, who died Feb. 3, 1676. The fact that his " widow Mary "
settled his estate after his death, which took place at Northampton.
Sept. 11, 1689, leads one to infer that Savage is probably correct. I
have not been able to find the date of the birth of their eldest child,
and from the fact that both Thomas Bascom and wife Mary were not
admitted to full communion until the third month of 1670, there is a
probability that he did not settle at N. until about that time. He
died at Northampton, Sept. 11, 1689. His will is as follows : —
" I, Thomas Bascum of Northampton!, being Weak and Sick in
Body yet being off sound memory and understanding and knowing
not how soone death may put a period to my britle and uncertarne life
doe therefore make and constitute this my Last Will and Testament
as followeth.
" In primis, I committ my Soule to God which gave it and to
Jesus Christ w ch I hope hath redeemed it with his most precious
blood, and as for my body I commit it to ye Grave by my Executors

sessing a strong physical organization, he was, almost to the last, in

was a devoted Congregationalist. A former pastor writes of him,
" he was always regarded by me as one of the ' Israelites indeed '
in the Church. I expected to find him on the right side of all the
questions that might temporarily divide the church. Well do I re-
member his prayers, not lacking in fervor, soundly evangelical, and
enriched by apt scriptural quotations." Respected and esteemed

PART IY.
FOURTH GENERATION.
(6) 17. Jonathan Bascom, fifth son of Thomas Bascom, 3d, was b.
at Northampton in 1706 ; m. May 5, 1736, Mindwell King. He was
one of the original petitioners for the formation of the new township
of Southampton, and was one of its earliest settlers. His house stood
on the lot afterwards owned by Perez Clap, and was fortified against
the attacks of the Indians, who were at that time extremely hostile
to the settlers in the Connecticut valley. He died at Southampton,
April 20, 1780, and his widow d. at S., April 4, 1794, aged 89 years.*
Issue were : —
551. Jonathan, b. (bapt. May 8) at Southampton, 1737.
552. Elisha, b. at S. 1739.
553. Rachel, m. Timothy Clapp, and had two daughters, Mindwell,
and Rachel, who left numerous descendants. She d. June,
1786.
554. Paul, b. (bapt. Nov. (?) 10), at S. 1745, who probably died
young.
FIFTH GENERATION.
(17) 551. Jonathan Bascom, eldest son of the elder Jonathan,
b. at Southampton in 1737 (about May 1), m. (pub. Feb. 28),
* Their grave-stone is to be seen in the grave-yard at Southampton, bearing this
inscription : —
In memory of
Mr. Jona. Bascom
who died 20th April
1780 in the 75th
year of his Age.
And Mrs. Mindwell
his wife who died 4th
April 1794 in the 90th
year of her Age.
Edwards's History of Southampton fixes the date of her death April 4, 1789, evidently
an error,

1761, Freedom Clarke, dau. of Jonathan, of S. She died after 1773,
and he mar. (pub. Aug. 10), 1776, Esther Williams, and either soon
before or soon after this marriage removed to Norwich, Mass. (now
Huntington), and from there, some years later, to the State of New
York, tradition says to its " western part," and died about 1804.
Births of two only, and baptisms of three more of his children, all by
the first wife, are recorded in Southampton. Norwich records con-
tain no entries of his family, and all attempts to trace him to New
York have been futile. Accounts concerning his issue differ material-
ly. It is believed that the following is correct : —
555. Jonathan, b. May 31, bapt. same day, 1767, said to have died
in Pennsylvania.
556. Alpheus, b. April 10, bapt. April 29, 1770.

SEVENTH GENERATION.
(556) 569. Henry-Bidleman Bascom, eldest son of Alpheus, b. at
Hancock, N. Y., May 27, 1796 ; when in his sixteenth year, having
attached himself to the Methodist Church, he formed an alliance with
an itinerant preacher of that denomination, for the purpose of a sum-
THOMAS BASCOM AND HIS DESCENDANTS. 59
mcr tour of exhortation. To supply themselves with the necessary
means they diligently worked daring the intervals of their travel in
the construction of pumps and aqueducts, the companion of young
Bascom being a mechanic by trade. At the end of the season he
returned to his father's house with a reputation already established
for earnest, sincere piety, and for extraordinary powers in the prayer
and exhortation meetings of his church. A year later, in 1812, he
travelled seventy or eighty miles to attend the General Conference of
the Methodist Church at Chillicothe, meeting there many of the lead-
ing preachers of the day. In 1813 he was licensed to preach, and
entered immediately on what proved to be a life of toil and privation
in his chosen work. In 1818 he took elder's orders, and settled at
Louisville, Kentucky. In 1823, after repeated changes in his location,
he was elected Chaplain to the House of Representatives at Wash-
ington. In June, 1827, he was elected President of Madison College,
then just established at Uniontown, Pa., a position which he occupied
for a little less than three years, leaving it to accept the general agency
of the American Colonization Society. In 1832, he was elected to a
professorship in Augusta College, and retained his connection with
tnat institution for a period of ten years. In 1837, he received the
honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity, and in 1845 that of LL.D.
In 1842 he removed to Lexington, Ky., and assumed the presidency
of Transylvania University. This he resigned in 1849, and the year
after was elected and consecrated Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South. Providence, however, decreed that his earthly work
was over, and on the 8th of September of that year, having presided as
Bishop but at one Conference, he passed to his reward.
Bishop Bascom was a man of remarkable powers. Without early
education, influence or personal ambition, by a mental activity that
found no rest till the secrets of science and theology had been mas-
tered, by natural oratorical ability of a most startling and persuasive
description, and by a piety as earnest and sincere as it was abiding,
he attained a reputation as a scholar, preacher and Christian almost
unrivalled in his generation.
He m. at New York city, March 7, 1839, Miss E. Van Antwerp,
