| Notes |
Nathaniel Basse was christened, December 29, 1589, at the Church of Saint Gabriel Church,
Fenchurch St., London, England. Nathaniel was commissioned to bring settlers to the New World.
On April 27, 1619, they arrived at Jamestowen, Virginia, founded in1607 (Isle Of Wight County,
1608-1907) with one hundred settlers in a ship commanded by Captain Evans.
They immediately settled near the mouth of a creek on the south side of the James River
still known as Lawne's Creek. Captain Nathaniel Basse and others undertook to establish
another plantation in the same neighborhood. This plantation was known as Basse's Choice
and was situated on the Pagan River. Nathaniel was back in England in early 1621/22 and
returned to Virginia in 1622. He was commissioned to seek colonists for Virginia in
New England and elsewhere.
The houses of Captain Basse's plantation were being built when a great calamity
happened to the infant colony. At midday on Good Friday, March 22, 1622 there were twelve
hundred fourty British inhabitants in the state of Virginia. Of these, three hundred forty
seven were killed by Indians in the eighty settlements on the north and south sides of the
James River, of which fifty three were residents of this county (Isle Of Wight County).
At the house of Nathaniel Basse, twins Humphrey and Samuel were slain. Nathaniel, who was in
England at the time, escaped.
A muster of the inhabitants of Virginia taken in 1625 includes Nathaniel Basse,
age 35. Nathaniel was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1624,1625, 1628 and
again in 1629. He was a Councillor in 1630.
Nathaniel Bass returned to England and is buried in Church of St. Alphage,
Cripplegate, London England, 3 July 1654.
