Notes

John was a wheelright and maltster. His will was made 25 June, 1716, and proved 22 Oct. 1716.

On the very day it was proved, Joseph Bass, and Ephraim Thayer, son-in-law, "Humbly pray the Will of their late father may not be proved for the following reasons, that he was under great insanity at the time of making his Will, and Benjamin Webb, a witness, declared that he had acted childish; that he was unduly influenced by his eldest son John and his grandson John; and had given his widow but one-fourth instead of one-third, and other reasons." But their objections were fruitless and the Will was proved that very day. Samuel Sewell wrote in his Diary referring to the Will of John Bass. The new lawyer, Robert Auchmerty said, "They that open'd, only delay'd without bringing any proof though time was allowed for that purpose." Three of John's children married children of Joseph Adams.
