=============================================
Dea. Samuel1 Bass and wife and at least two children came to Massachusetts about 1631 or 32.
Samuel Basse was married to Anne Savell 25th April 1625 at St. Mary's Church, Saffron Walden, Co. Essex. His baptism is not on record there but that of Ann Savell is there in the parish register as were also two other children. Ann, daughter of William Savell was baptized 25th April 1601 at Saffron Walden. William Savell also had Elizabeth bapt. 10 Dec.1598 and Susan bapt. 4 June 1609. He also had a son William bapt. 24 Feb.1604/5 since the will of William of Braintree Mass. calls Deacon Samuel Bass his brother. (See Register Vol. 107-198).
Samuel Bass & wife were members of the church at Roxbury at an early date, probably by 1632 though no date is given. He is said to have settled near Hog Bridge there. He was made freeman of the colony May 14,1634.
He received no grant of land in Braintree and must have purchased of someone else. He came here previous to July 6,1640 at which time he was elected the first deacon of the church, having been dismissed and recommended to them from Roxbury (Hancock's Century Sermons, 1739 p.28). His homestead was at the N.W. corner of Granite and Hancock Sts., Quincy and parts of the land on Granite St. remained in the male line of descent until 1951 when Alva Morrison Bass died there single, a space of over 310 years. No records show how this land was acquired.
The Braintree records give the following account of his death: -
"Deacon Samuel Bass, aged 94 departed this life upon the 30th day of December, 1694, who had been a Deacon of the Church of Braintree for the space of above 50 years and the first Deacon of that church, and was the father and grandfather and great grandfather of a hundred and sixty and two children before he died, the youngest whereof was Benjamin Bas, son of Joseph Bas and Mary his wife born seven days before his death".
Mrs. Ann Bas, the wife of Deacon Samuel Bas, died the 5th of September 1693, aged 93. So says the town record but the ancient rough gravestone in Hancock Cemetery says Mrs. Ann Bass died 1692 aged 92.
He held numerous town offices, was selectman as early as 1642 and as late as 1673, many years not being recorded in the earliest records, and was Representative twelve years. He is recorded as selectman 1642,1645,8,51,52,53,1670,72, but the records are incomplete in early years.
Samuel Bass and son Thomas Bass both lived in Bogastow or Natick (now Sherborn) for some time in the 1660's as both signed the petition of the inhabitants there to be set up as a separate town May 7,1662 (Mass. Archives 112-136).
In 1672 he sold 140 acres there to John Hull, called himself of "Brantery, yeoman, and wife Ann did not sign the deed", she being aged and blind", says the deed. (S.D. 10-15).
