From the sources I have searched from all over the internet the accepted idea is that Samuel Basse or Bass of Norfolk, believed brother of Nathaniel of IoW, is son of Humphery. I agree that this makes the most sence because there were not vey many Basses in England and the ones there were came from France orignally. There were no Basses in the US before Nathaniel Basse, and a record in IoW says that Nathaniel at Basse's choice had a Samuel Basse living with him from about 1623-1624. Also the fact most of Samuel's children have many of the same names of Nathaniel's children. So it does not seem reasonabley possible to say they are not related. My question is did Nathaniel any of his brothers or sisters, children or grandchildren mention any of Samuel Basse's descendants or Samuel Basse himself in their wills, land grants, etc. If so we can prove for sure 100% that Samuel is Humphrey's son because a DNA analysis was done for Nathaniel and his desc. and they all proved positive for being related to Humphery. Any tidbit would be welcomed.
