Note

Deacon Samuel and wife Ann, with several children, came from England to Roxbury in 1632, and there were members of Rev. John Elliott's Church. In 1640 he removed to Braintree (now part of Quincy) and at once took an important place in the matters of the Town, both Religious and Political. This is shown by the Rec. of the Town Clerk, who departing from his usual brief obituaries, notices his mas follows: "Deacon Samuel Bass, aged 94, departed this life upon the 30th day of December, 1694, who had bin a Decon of the Church of Braintree for the space of 50 years, and was the father and grandfather and great grandfather of a hundred and sixty and two children before he died, the youngest whereof was Benimin Bas the son of Joseph Bas and Mary his wife, born seven days before his death. he represented the town in no less than twelve General Courts, served on important Committees, was Selectman innumerable times and active in the Church and all the time continued his farming." (see "300 years of Quincy," p. 53, by D. M. Wilson.)

Deacon Samuel's will, is so quaint, that I quote from it in part: "In the name of God Amen May 11th 1694, I Samuel Bass of Braintry being but infirm of body but sound in my understanding and memory and not knowing how soon or suddenly the Lord may please to call me out of this world and in consideration of my great change hastening upon me I do therefore make constitute and dictate this my last Will and testament. First,--I give my soul to God, through Jesus Chist my alone Savior with whom I hope to have had Communion with in my life and I hope he will not forsake me in death, and I desire to rely alone upon the mercy of God through merits of my alone Lord and Savior Jesus Christ my dear Redeemer. Second; I give my son John ten acres of Salt Marsh and a wood lot in Captain's plain already set out to him and the Malt houses and the orchard before the malt houses, also half the well and half the kitchen, also some land in the stony field he hath in his possession, also a quarter part of my upland in the farm after Legacies to my two daughters is paid. mary Capen and Sarah Pennimen, and if there be any marsh land after the ten acres apiece to my three sons is taken out--if there be any overplus, I give it to my son John Bass. Third; I give my son Joseph ten acres of Salt Marsh (which I value at 100 pounds). I give him the house he liveth in and the orchard ont he back side of it, and the fresh meadow at the East. I give him the feather bed which he lyeth on and all the furniture and bedstead belonging to it (all of which I value at 100 pounds). I give him my barns and two acres of ground my barns standeth on; reserving liberty for yard room and passage for my son John to his barns. I give Joseph half my kitchen and half my well and I give him 7 acres of land in stony field where my cows use to pasture and a wood lot in the Captain's plain." Fourth; I give my son Thomas Bass ten acres of Salt Marsh and a wood-lot in Captain's plain already laid out to him also a quarter part of the uplands at the farm after the legacies above specified is paid. Fifth; I give my daughter Mary Capen 40 pounds and my daughter Sarah Pennimen 20 pounds to be paid out of the uplands at the farm or otherwise be content, also my daughters Capen and Pennimen 5 cows. My meaning is in that expression of my will that the 40 pounds and three I have given to my daughter Mary Capen should be to her and her heirs forever. My will is that it is to be accounted as my son John Capen's estate and shall be equally divided among his children." From Suffolk Co. Mass. Probate, Will, No. 2200 Vol. 13., p. 539 Deac. Samuel owned 166 acres of Land in or near Braintree.
