I am Ben Van Norman. I am descended from Rebecca Bass who married Thomas Kirby in 1787.

There is some conjecture concerning her parents. I am currently convinced that her parents were James Bass and Elizabeth Smith. Some researchers believe that she is the daughter of Henry Bass who lived next door to James Bass.

James was the son of Thomas Bass and Mary Clark.

Thomas was the son of William Bass and Cecilia Branch.

Do you have any information about Rebecca or her parentage?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ben
