Ken, I'm researching your line; my wife descends from John J Baskett/Sarah Riley, son of William Baskett b.1820 TN m. Mary Turpin. From tax & census records 1828, 1830 Gasconade MO & 1840 census Ripley Co MO: Thomas Basket wife not known of right age & with children of right ages, thusly:
Thomas Basket as father is unproven, but this is likely the Family:
Thomas Basket b.ca1785 SC m. ___unk____ b.ca1785 GA. Children:
--1. William Basket b.1820 TN m. Mary P Turpin b.1821 AR dau of Elisha Turpin & Mary Bayless.
--2. Thomas Basket b.1828 MO m. Harriett Yount b.1829 MO.
--3. Rebecca Basket. b. 1832 MO.
Trying to find more support & connection with Basketts of SC. Comment?
