NOTE on #16: The father of #8 was named Ephron Bass in his death certificate (see above), from information given by his son George Washington Bass, Jr. At the time of the 1880 census, #8, listed as mulatto, was living as a servant in the household of John P. Tunget(t) in Giles Co., TN, two households away from that of Ephraim Bass. Harriet, the wife of John P. Tungett, was a daughter of this Ephraim Bass by his first marriage (see http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=laura47&id=I45068). In 1880, at least two of this Ephraim Bass children (Mildred and Houston) had already moved to Ellis Co., TX, and by 1900 at least three more joined them (Delia, William Luther, and Ida Frances) (ibid.). This was about the same time that #8 George Washington Bass moved there, so it seems very likely that the move was not coincidental. Given the facts that (1) #8 was mulatto, (2) #8 lived with the daughter of Ephraim Bass in 1880 and moved to Ellis Co., TX, with other children of Ephraim Bass later, and (3) the son of #8 knew his paternal grandfather as Ephron Bass, it seems likely that #16 was in fact the Ephraim Bass in question. If correct, this would (according to the ancestry provided in the site noted here) give Karen Bass descents from the Lanier and Washington families of Virginia, among others.
