Notes
for Nathaniel Basse CAPT:
Captain Nathaniel Basse was commissioned by the Virginia Company to transport
immigrants from England to Isle of Wight County, Va. Captain Basse would be given land from the King of England and would
establish his own plantation, named "Basse's
Choice". On 22 March 1622, the Nansemond and other associated eastern
Indian tribes, would massacre almost a third of the population at Isle of Wight
County, murdering everyone on "Basse's
Choice" including Captain Nathaniel Basse's two
first born, young sons Humphrey and Samuel, who were both less than 10 years of
age. Captain
Nathaniel Basse was away in England at the time of the
massacre. History of these events may be found in "History of Isle of
Wight County" by Col. E.M. Morrison and in the "Book of John Bass of
Norfolk, Va 1675", which is on file in the North
Carolina State Archives. The book is a copy of the bible that belonged to
Captain Nathaniel Basse and would later be given to
his 3rd son John. Children of Captain Nathaniel Basse
and his wife Mary Jordan were: Humphrey Samuel John William Anthony Edward Mary
Genevive Ann Richard Gregory George stillborn child
Following

Nathaniel was
commissioned to bring settlers to the New World.
On April 27, 1619, they arrived at Jamestowen, Virginia,
founded in1607 (Isle Of Wight County,1608-1907) with
one hundred settlers in a ship commanded by Captain Evans. They immediately
settled near the mouth of a creek on the south side of the James
River still known as Lawne's Creek.
Captain Nathaniel Basse and others undertook to
establish another plantation in the same neighborhood. This plantation was
known as Basse's Choice and was situated on the Pagan River.
Nathaniel was back in England
in early 1621/22 and returned to Virginia
in 1622. He was commissioned to seek colonists for Virginia
in New England and elsewhere.
The houses of
Captain Basse's plantation were being built when a
great calamity happened to the infant colony. At midday on Good Friday, March
22, 1622 there were twelve hundred fourty British
inhabitants in the state of Virginia.
Of these, three hundred forty seven were killed by Indians in the eighty
settlements on the north and south sides of the James River, of which fifty
three were residents of this county (Isle
Of Wight County).
At the house of Nathaniel Basse every one was slain. Nathaniel, who was in England at the time, escaped.

inhabitants of Virginia
taken in 1625 includes Nathaniel Basse, age 35.
