The Bassett connection to the family comes through the Stanhope line. It begins with William Francis Stanhope, born on May 21, 1786, who married Amelia Hurst, born October 13, 1788. They had four children: Elizabeth, Richard, Alfred W. and William Francis. If you were to follow the line from Elizabeth who married Edward Carter, you would find Fanny Carter Headley, Joseph Carter Headley, Elisabeth Headley Garr, Frances Headley Carruth, Elisabeth Garr Lawrence, and Charlotte Garr Schubert. More detailed information about this line can be found on corresponding pages.
Following the line from the second William Francis, born August 3, 1814, you reach the Bassett name. William married Nancy C. Bowman, born May 25, 1826 and they were the parents of eleven children, including Katherine Downing Stanhope. Katherine was born on February 3, 1863, the ninth of the eleven children. She married James Edward Bassett and together they had four children, Katherine Stanhope, Frances Threlkeld, Nancy, and James Edward Jr.
