STATE - NEW JERSEY
Charleston Courier, South Carolina, Tuesday, November 13, 1827
At Natchez, 7^th ult. Mr. John Bassett, Printer, a native of Morristown, (N.J.) His life, though short, was an eventful one – in the wilds of Texas, death often stared him in the face. In one instance, he was captured by the Spaniards and Indians, and condemned to death – but by a bold disregard of death, he awed the savages into dread, and he was released, though several of his companions were shot, among them his intimate friend, John D. Hunter, the celebrated Indian historian. He was one of the leader of the Texas revolution.
Decatur Daily Republican, April 8, 1884, Decatur, Illinois

The Oldest Inhabitant

William Bassett, an aged negro living in Camden, N.J., last May celebrated his 126^th birthday, and is without a doubt the “oldest inhabitant” of the new world. Bassett was born in Delaware in 1755, where his parents were slaves, for many years owned by the Bayard family. During the Revolution Bassett, then a young man of twenty-one or twenty-two, was working for a farmer by the name of Wilson. While there he married, and became the father of a large family, each member of whom he has outlived. Upon the death of his wife Bassett married again. When the war broke out in 1812 he became a body servant to Col. Morris, of Jackson’s army, whom he accompanied to the front at New Orleans. He married his third wife upon his return from the South, and had by her quite a numerous family, all but one of whom died prior to the civil war. For the last eighteen years he has been taken care of by his children and grandchildren, spending the time between Camden and Moorestown, to and from which places he has traveled on foot many a time. The last trip was made early in the fall of 1881. His death is now looked for daily.

Stephen Bassett, 37, after 20 years in coma
When Stephen Bassett was hit by a car in Bernardsville, his family never thought that 20 years later he would still be suffering. On New Year’s Day, the former Bernards High School student died at the Holly Manor Nursing Home in Mendham after lying in a coma since the 1977 accident. He was 37. “I think he just decided that it was time, that he had had enough,” his mother, Jean Bassett, said yesterday from her Phillipsburg home. “It appears he died just go in his sleep,” she said. “There was more suffering, no more pain. There was nothing that gave an indication of any infection.” Although, she said, the years have been extremely difficult for the Bassett family, they always hoped Stephen Bassett would eventually pull through. “You kept going on with everyday life, but the pain and hurt was still there. He was never far from our thoughts,” his mother said. Mr. Bassett, then a senior on the soccer and baseball teams, was pulling out of the school parking lot on his moped when he was struck by a car. “He was very special. That’s not just a mother talking, that’s the way Steve was,” Mrs. Bassett said. “He was a very outgoing and caring young fellow,” she added, recalling how he would volunteer to doing the gardening and mowing for his neighbors. He didn’t get paid. It was just something he liked to do, Mrs. Bassett said. In addition to his mother, Mr. Bassett is survived by his father, Leonard of Edenton, N.C.; two brothers, Christopher of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Douglas of Piscataway, and his maternal grandparents, Harry and Irene Secker of England. Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Gallaway & Crane Funeral Home in Bernardsville, followed by burial in St. Bernard’s Cemetery, Bernardsville. Visiting hours are from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at the funeral home.
