1	From Howard Hickman, correspondent, note of October 8th, 2007 The only Church record of Robert and Mary's family is the baptism of their second daughter, Elizabeth. It is recorded on May 7, 1793 at Jacob's "Old Dutch" Lutheran Church in German Township, Fayette County, Pa. Many of Mary Magdalena's relatives lived near this church and had their children baptized there. As were most residents of early Greene County, Robert was a farmer, living off the land. In the tax records of 1817-1819, he is also listed as a "carpenter." His skill in carpentry must have been notable, as the occupation of carpentry was passed down through many of his descendants. Robert was successful in his life, as he expanded his homestead, by purchasing property of his adjacent neighbors. He owned a total of 97 acres in 1842. Greene County Court records show that Robert was a frequent party in lawsuits over the years. In particular 1805-9, he was involved in seven different cases. The reasons for the lawsuits are unknown, except for two. In August 1805, Robert sued John Renner for assault and battery on his daughter, Nancy. In February 1807, James Corbett sued Robert and three other neighbors for "assaulting, beating, and false imprisoning." Robert and Mary Hickman had five children: Nancy, Elizabeth, Samuel, Abraham, and Cassander. Nancy married James Vandruff and raised their children in Whiteley Township. Elizabeth married Barnet Renner and lived in Perry Township. Samuel married Elizabeth and divorced, and his children grew up in Franklin and Whiteley Townships. Abraham married Mary Nelson and lived in Whiteley, Perry, Dunkard, and Washington Townships. Cassander married Hiram Nichols and lived in Wayne Township. Unlike many families that migrated west from Greene County, all of Robert and Mary's children remained in Greene County throughout their lives. A few descendants still live in the County today. He died on 29 Oct 1842 at Whiteley Twp, Greene Co, PA. Robert Hickman died on October 29, 1842. He wrote his last will on September 3, 1841. It states in part: "...I give and bequeath to my grandsons Jesse and Morgan Hickman, sons of my son Samuel Hickman, two tracts of land in Franklin Township...My will is that my said son Samuel shall have free access and support of the two tracts...by making use of the means of industry of the same...I direct my Executors...to sell...all the tracts of land where upon I now live...the proceeds to be equally divided amongst my heirs...I also direct that the...value thereof (two tracts of land in Franklin Twp.) to be deducted out of my son Samuel's share, the residue as my other heirs, viz: Abraham, Nancy, Elizabeth, & Casander...I also order...to deliver to my son Samuel free of cost or charge all my wearing apparel...I order... to have around my wife as well as my own grave, if not sooner done, a suitable & sufficient stone wall as well as headstones..." The receipts filed in Robert's estate papers are the following heirs: Hiram Nichols & wife, James Vandruff, Samuel Hickman, Elizabeth Renner, and Aba Hickman. Robert and Mary are buried on their farm in a small graveyard, at the top of Frosty Run.

37	"One Bassett Family in America" by Buell Burdett Bassette, page 15. 1703, June 23. Vol. I, p 154 T V: "William Basset and Mary Bump were Joyned together in Marriage June 23, 1703". Mary was from Middleboro, the name being spelled sometimes Bumpas. This wedding was only 71 days after Sarah's death thus illustrating anew the economic pressure of the early day which made quick cooperation of this kind much more common then than now. The intention of marriage, says the record, was not recorded.	Family / Spouse: F18334
38	"One Bassett Family in America", by Buell Burdett Bassette, page 15. 1693, June 14. Vol. 36, p 20 N E H & G: Here we find the first wedding knot of William Basset tied by Rev. Peter Thatcher at Milton, Mass. The minister records in his diary that "both were from Bridewater". Was it a run away match? Twelve years later her brother Capt. Joseph Sweetland was married at Milton, where he was then living, the same minister officiating. In 1693 Joseph was but ten years old and as late as 1688 at least he was living with his parents at Salem. Of course there may have been family connections here by which the match of William and Sarah was fathered and mothered.	Family / Spouse: F18333
