The updating of the numbering system used on this page has been completed. Generation 28 is my own;
27 is that of my parents; 29 is that of my children, etc.  --   John M. Gwin, Mar 2009

The reformatting of the name font and census data for this page has been completed. --John M. Gwin, Aug 2011
SOURCES:

1--My first source of info for all this page is my father's late brother, James Bassett Gwin II.  Page 46 of his collection is entitled BASSET FAMILY HISTORY and starts out:

"Compiled by James Basset Gwin II of 2918 45 St New Orleans 20, LA in the year 1949 from records submitted from the collections of Kate L. Gwin Tuscaloosa Al, and Edith Snow, Washington, DC.   Information obtained from Major Champ Carter McCullough who employed genealogists to trace this ancestry. "

2--My second source is Mr. Jeffrey Neil Bassett, bassettgenealogy@hotmail.com, who saw my page and sent me information he said came from Elizabeth Nitschke Hicks. I cut his info apart and added each piece where it was applicable. Thus each note preceded by JB/ENH came from him. Thanks, Jeffrey.

3--And now my third source is Ms. Elizabeth (Liz) Nitschke Hicks herself, erootrot@usa.net , my third cousin once removed. Special thanks to you, Liz, for all your insight, help, and information! :-)

4--Today, 4 Apr 2007, another cousin checked in and supplied some more good data. He's Michael Stewart, my 4th cousin once removed, and I'm adding his input below in this green.  And in July 2007, 4th cousin Cecile Crawford followed up on what Michael sent, adding quite a bit more, which I'm continuing in this same green. Now here's more on this line from 4th cousin once removed Stephen David Stewart: in Oct 2008 he updated his family's section, which I'm also continuing in this same green.

5--Since then, I have also used Ancestry.com to access census and other documents.  Since Christmas 2017, thanks to my son Jeremy and daughter-in-law Kara, I've used their DNA services, too, confirming over 78,000 living cousins in all my lines--and counting!

6--FindAGrave.com has been a valuable resource as well.  Thanks to the thousands who have built memorials for loved ones and others.

7--And Facebook.com has helped me trace lines into the present day.



DISCLAIMER and REQUEST 

There are still many gaps. Though some of it is proven, there is much possibility for error. I have no idea how correct some of the other information is. There may be some of you who will be sad or even angry when you read parts of this, because you know that a particular segment is wrong. But I present it here in good faith, so if you have information that proves, substantiates, corroborates, conflicts with, expands, disproves, corrects, or complements any of this information, please share it with me, and I will gladly include your family line, add your comment, correct the error, and/or present your claim!

John McDonald Gwin 

Basset, pronounced /bah-SAY/ is French. When Jean Jacques Luis Basset married Madamoselle Mary Lavalette and had two children, that's how they would have pronounced it. But when their son moved to England, the locals there called it Bassett, pronounced /BASS-ut/ (rhymes with "Pass it!"), and added the extra tee, which some of James' and Mary's children evidently kept. For example, Uncle James' middle name is Bassett, and he always pronounced it with the English pronunciation, never the French. He said his dad (same name) always pronounced it that way, too, and he assumed his grandmother, Ida Eliza Bassett, did also.

M y   G e n e r a t i o n    O n e

21.00--Jean Jacques Luis Basset m. Madamoselle Mary Lavalette; 2 sons; (siblings and parents of JJLB and ML are unk. to me).

My uncle James Gwin's notes said his name was Georges Basset m. Madamoselle Lavalette. He got that information and all the following information in 1949 from the collections of Kate L. Gwin, Tuscaloosa, AL, and Edith Snow, Washington, DC, who had gotten it earlier from Maj. Champe Carter McCulloch, mayor of Waco, TX, who "employed genealogists to trace this ancestry." Uncle James' introductory paragraph to his Basset pages reads,

"The name BASSET is French and originally pronounced "BASS-A", with a long A. The first mention of this name revealed in research is found in 'The Geneva Armorial' in 1399 as a Burgess named Robert son of Permet member of the council of state in 1404 (sic). The closest relative found was a Georges Basset in Geneva, Switzerland, who was a member of a Hugenot family in the eighteenth century before the French Revolution. Georges Basset was apprenticed to a silversmith and fell in love with a Madamoselle Lavalette who was the daughter of a French nobleman. Her parents objected to their courtship and sent her away to Wales to school to separate them. Georges followed her and married her. They had two sons. One of them emigrated to America, and his whole family were wiped out in a yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia. The other son, named John James Louis Basset married Mary Miles, an English girl, and they settled in Sussex, England and raised 14 children."
Some of what this unknown, employed, genealogist found is obviously correct, but it is also clear that some confusion exists. If Georges Basset is indeed in this line, he may have been the FATHER of the Jean Jacques Luis Basset I (John James Louis Basset I), the latter of whom went to England and married Mary Lavalette as is proven below.

Our cousin Liz Hicks sent me a photocopy of the old 1767 marriage license. I transcribe it here with typeset words in boldface type and handwritten words in italic type. The five signatures are also underlined. The fact that he is listed here as a watchmaker perhaps lends credence to the story of someone being apprenticed to a silversmith, above. The fact that the last names of the two witnesses are neither Basset nor Lavalette perhaps lends credence to the story of their eloping without either parents' permission (or at least presence). And the fact that the fourth child of JJL Basset II is George perhaps lends credence to the existence of a Georges in their upline somewhere.  

Transcription of the 1767 Marriage Certificate
of Jean Basset and Mary Lavalette
"Banns of Marriage____No. 93Jean Jaques Basset  of this  Parish Watchmaker andMary Lavalette  of the Parish of Saint Saviour

22.01--One of the children (no name listed) allegedly emigrated to America; the family all allegedly perished in Philadelphia in a yellow fever epidemic.

22.02--John James Louis Basset (Jr.?) m. Mary Miles, an English girl; settled in Sussex, Eng.; 14 ch.; [JB/ENH notes: *53B1. Jean Jacques Luis "James" Basset; m. 13 Jun 1803 in St. Marylebone, London, Eng. to Mary Miles]

M y    G e n e r a t i o n   T h r e e

Some of these fourteen children emigrated to America, almost all of whom came to Cahaba, AL. Those known (or reported/believed) to have made this trip (or these trips, as I so far know only how and when one family--William and Harriet--came, not the others) across the Atlantic include (1) James, (3) Charlotte (and her husband Fred Cheesman), (4) George, (5) William (and his wife Harriet), (6) Louis (he married Sarah Gwin in Cahaba), (8) John (mentioned in Fry's Memories of Old Cahaba), (10) Joseph (he married Mary Gwin in Cahaba), and (11) Emma (all three of her marriages occurred in North America). Suffice it for now to say that little is known of and some confusion exists concerning the three youngest as to whether or not they came, exactly what their names were, and how and when they died.

Immediately next is the list I have of the fourteen. Following it is an expanded version of that list with known downlines.

23.01--James Basset
23.02--Mary Basset
23.03--Charlotte Basset (m. Fred Cheesman)
23.04--George Basset
23.05--William Basset (m. Harriet Bowley)--(my great-grandparents)
23.06--Louis Basset (m. Sarah Gwin)
23.07--Sarah Basset (m. Robert Jordan)
23.08--John Miles Basset
23.09--Henry Basset
23.10--Joseph Lavalette Basset (m. Mary Ann Gwin)
23.11--Emma Maria Basset (m. Carl Ludwig Nitschke)
23.12--Thomas Archibald Basset, or Thomas Basset (twin)
23.13--Charles Basset, or Archibald Basset (twin)
23.14--Robert Basset or Charles Robert Basset
(23.15)--Harry Bridger (called Henry)--maybe adopted, maybe only a close friend raised by the family, but not blood related

23.03--Charlotte Basset, b. 3 Aug 1806 or 21 Jul 1806, England; d. 4 Oct 1876 Matagorda Co.,TX (near Bay City and the Gulf Coast); bd. Matagorda Cem., Matagorda, Matagorda Co., TX--Find A Grave Memorial# 31717969--Inscription: "In Memory Of; Born In England; Gone to Rest"; m. 19 Sep 1830 at Preston, England [near Brighton--from their marriage certificate: "both of this parish, witnesses: James Basset(t) & Mary Cheeseman"], to Frederick Cheesman (b. 1807; d. 3 Nov 1866; bd.

24.01--Charles Frederick Cheesman, b. in Worthing, Sussex, England, (David R. Cheesman, Sr., says Kent, England) on 12 Aug 1832; d. 14 Mar 1918; bd.

FAG BIO for Battie Cheesman
Batistine "Battie" Roe, b. 1841 married Charles Frederick Cheesman about 1859. Charles was son of Frederick and Charlotte Cheesman, also in this cemetery.  Charles enlisted in Confederate States Army as Bugler, in Company F, Texas Cavalry, Morgan's Regiment.  The last record I can find on him is Jan 28, 1910 on an application for Confederate pension, when he was residing in Jefferson Co., TX.
Contributed by: Eleanor B. (#47071635)
[John M. Gwin Note--2 Sep 2023:    Battie's full tombstone inscription includes the final quatrain from "An Autumn Fancy" by Richard Realf published 1867 in L. A. Godey's magazine The Lady's Friend as attested by the gravesite photo on Battie's FindAGrave memorial #31717968:
In Memory of
BATTIE
Wife of
C. F. Cheesman;
Died 24 Oct 1867
Aged 26 yrs.
      In Autumn let me die; that Autumn winds          
      Their mournful dirges o'er my grave may moan,
       And falling leaves around my tomb may rest,     
      Murmuring low,  "Thou diest not alone."             
[John M. Gwin Note--2 Sep 2023:    In the same 1870 census of Matagorda Co., TX, a Charlotte Cheeseman, age 42 and born in England, is listed as a housekeeper and living with Charles F. and the three children, Irene (9), Martin (8), and Frederick (4). We know that Charles' father, Fred, had died in 1866, and since Charles' wife, Batistine, does not appear in this census, we may assume that she also had died in the four years since baby Frederick was born; therefore, I believe that this Charlotte, listed as age 42 and being born in England, is indeed our Charlotte, the mother of Charles, and that either someone made a mistake in transcribing notes or she intentionally lied about her age, which in truth would've been 64, not 42!

The FAG report of that 1870 census record reads as follows:   Name: Charles F. Cheeseman; Age: 38; POB: England; Home in 1870: Live Oak and Peytons Creek, Matagorda, Texas; P.O.: Caney; Household:  Charlotte, 42; Charles F., 38; Irene, 9; Martin, 8; Frederick, 4.]

[JOHN M. GWIN NOTE--2 Sep 2023: According to Anna Gayle Fry in Memories of Old Cahaba, Jerry "Jere" Lister lived "over the point" (i.e., across the Cahaba River by ferry from downtown Cahaba) in the same neighborhood as did John and William Basset, two of Robert George Cheesman's uncles. Fry says that each of the three were proprietors of fashionable tailor shops, and it may be that they were partners of a single shop.  It is likely, then, that Mary Ellen Lister is the daughter of this same Jerry Lister.  In the 1860 census, Robert was age 23, working as a mail contractor, and living with his parents in Matagorda Co., TX.  Since he married Mary Ellen two years later in 1862 in Cahaba, he must've gone back there to marry her!  As stated above, she and her brother, Charles Lister, are still alive in 1920 and living with her daughter, Maggie Cheeseman Gibbs.]

Subject: j gibbs Gray

I am interested in the Archie Floyd Gibbs, Sr., who married Maggie McKay Cheesman.  My brother and I are looking for an Archie Floyd Gibbs who was the father of our grandfather George Travis Gibbs, Sr. of Summergrove, La.  Our Archie Floyd Gibbs was married to Georgia Annie Colquitt and they had only one son.  They either divorced or he died.  We know they left Summergrove, La., but we do not know if they were together or what.  I did find their marriage certificate at the court house in Shreveport, La.  My grandfather was born June 20, 1893 and was raised by his uncle, Will Colquitt.  I know he never mentioned his father and he never lived with his mother.  She lived in El Paso in later years.    Just wondering.         Jeanne Beth Gibbs Gray
Dear John,   My grandfather was George Travis Gibbs, Sr.  His father was Archie Floyd Gibbs and his mother was Georgia Colquitt.  His parents (I assumed) divorced when he was very young.  My grandfather was raised by Will and Virgie Colquitt of Summergrove, La.  He never mentioned his parents or any of the Gibbs.  We have found nothing about her, but I know she was living around El Paso, Texas in the 1920's.       Thanks for writing.            Jeanne Gibbs Gray ]

Subject: Re: Charlotte and Frederick Cheeseman

Hi John...........finally I am getting back to you with some information.  This has been a complicated spring and early summer....just lots of things going on that kept me from concentrating on any genealogy.  BUT.....There are a good many things that need to be corrected about the Cheesman family that moved to Texas. 

To start with, for some reason others have indicated that the Frederick Cheesman family lived in Bay City (or close to Bay City) in Matagorda Co., Texas.......well, when they came to Texas, I do not believe Bay City really existed.  They came to Matagorda, Texas, a lovely, thriving community, one of the main Texas ports during and before the Republic of Texas days, and also very important in the time of the Civil War.  They came to Matagorda to live and, I believe, to be planters.  The family may have settled on Matagorda Peninsula or in the Caney Creek area, but all of that was really considered Matagorda.  I need to check my research a bit about the children other than Minna Jane Cheeseman, but I do know much about her married life and descendents.  Minna Jane was my great-grandmother.

Frederick and Charlotte Basset moved their family to Matagorda, Texas, sometime in the late 1850's or early 1860's (I think).  Since the town of Cahaba was pretty much closed down by the Civil War, I don't think they would have left there until the outcome of the war was pretty certain.  I have been told though, the Cheesman family was very musical and provided music for the grand balls held at the Colorado House, a fine hotel in Matagorda, and these dances stopped sometime during the Civil War. (One of the sons taught the latest dances--learned in New Orleans--I somewhere have a copy of his advertisement.) This may have been C. F., or R. G., or A. B., and I do not know their full names.  Charlotte and Frederick Cheeseman are buried in the historic cemetery in Matagorda.  Battie Cheeseman is buried by them, and her tombstone indicates she was the wife of C. F. Cheeseman and died Oct. 21, 1867.  Age 26 years. (I assume this is the person you list as Batistine Roe who married Charles F. in Texas.)  Frederick Cheesman's tombstone states he was born in Horsham, Sussex County, England (no date given); he died at age 59, Nov. 3,1866.

Minna Jane Cheeseman was born in Alabama on Feb. 12, 1846.  She married Walter Scott Stewart in Matagorda, Texas, on March 11, 1869.  (I have a copy of their marriage license.)  He was born in Matagorda on Nov. 28, 1843 to Warner Watson Stewart and Lucy Tribble Stewart.  He was a soldier of the Confederacy and was gone from home and actively in the war from April 1862 until the war was over, returning home some time in 1865.  His brothers John A. Stewart and Greenbury Stewart were also Confederate soldiers.  John never came home--he died at Petersberg, VA, and we assume was buried there.  Minna Jane and Walter Scott Stewart are buried in Matagorda Cemetery along with all of his siblings except John and all but one of their children.

Minna Jane and Walter Scott Stewart had 5 children all born in Matagorda:
1)    Irene Stewart--born December 23, 1869 (m. Charles W. Burkhart , had 3 children)
a)  Charles Stewart Burkhart m. Lunelle Jones, from Livingston, TX--no children

Sooooooooo...........

I have just added about 35 or 40 blood relatives that you didn't know about......and quite a few spouses too......i am a bit vague about some of my great nieces and nephews birthdays, but the dates are close..

As you can see, Minna Jane Cheesman married into a family that repeated names over and over,  lots of times.....so it gets pretty confusing sometimes.  When Mike Stewart contacted you and gave you some family names, he actually skipped a generation........his father was Walter Scott Stewart, son of Arthur Cheesman Stewart, son of Walter Scott Stewart, son of Warner Watson Stewart......but the first Walter Scott had a brother named
Arthur Cheesman Stewart who named his son for his father, Warner Watson Stewart...........(Who's on first...)  The Burkharts were all named Charles something....and Addie and Lillian Cookenboo both married Stewart brothers....( and all of their Cookenboo brothers were named Henry- something- after their father , Henry ) 

I am not at all sure what relation I am to you, but probably 4th  or 5th cousin somehow.

In any case, it is fascinating to know how many people we are related to!!!!!!

I will send yousome pictures in the next few days.....I don't really have any Cheesman pictures except one of Minna Jane......

The home that Minna Jane and Walter Scott built and lived in is still standing, but in very bad shape.  There is quite a lot of interest in real estate in Matagorda again at this time, and that house is supposed to be up for sale again.  It has not belonged to our family since 1944, but I spent quite a lot of time there when I was a child.  After Minna and Walter Scott died, their son Arthur and his wife Lillian lived in this house.  My father brought his bride from San Antonio to Matagorda to live in his family's home, and this was just one block from the home once lived in by Minna Jane and Scott. 

Irene Burkhart, Walter Scott's sister, only lived 3 blocks away.  The Burkhart home was started in 1832 by Rhodes Fisher who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836 (the Burkharts did not buy the home until the late 1800's).  The home Scott and Minna Jane built was probably begun in about 1869--but added onto later.  The home I grew up in was built in 1898 for Walter and Addie Stewart (and also added onto later).  It is a one story home....and has just been purchased and is being somewhat restored , probably if on the market now would be at a price approaching $300,000--really bizarre to consider that my family probably sold it for $10,000 in 1947 when my father decided to move his family to Bay City!  The house Minna Jane lived in will probably go on the market now for about $100,000, or more, but it would take another $100,000 or more to properly restore it, so as much as I would love to own it, it is not something I can afford.

There is quite lot of history in the Matagorda area...it was a deeply southern, cultural city by the bay when it was founded there by Stephen F. Austin's colony in about 1826, but many things happened over the years, and it has been just a tiny community for quite some time.  There is now a lot of interest in the waterfront there, and a magnificent new bridge will replace the old "swing" bridge over the Intercoastal Canal on the road that follows the Colorado River and leads to the Gulf of Mexico.  Property is suddenly very expensive (it will be interesting to see if anything sells!)

I love to go there when I can, but I have very few  relatives in that area anymore.  Sophia Burkhart is still alive (age 97), but even though she maintains the old Burkhart home in Matagorda, she actually lives in Bay City, and her son, Kent, lives in Florida.

Wow...I started writing this about 11:00 Sunday evening, and it is now almost 3:00 a.m. Monday...I best go and get some sleep, but I will send pictures soon and look for other Cheesman information.

I am going to copy this to Liz Hicks (and to myself so I can remember what I wrote to you!!!), and I will forward it to Mike Stewart, too, but I don't know his e-mail right now.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Texas love,
Cile

Subject: Charles Frederick Cheesman

Hello John,
 
I have just seen your web page concerning Charles Frederick Cheesman, headed Charlotte Basset and Fred. Ch., and I am wondering if there is any tie up with him and a possible second marriage to my gr-grandmother's sister, May Georgina Nazer in 1888. At least the name is the same, but the spelling of the surname seems slightly variable.
 
The only thing that I know about the husband of May Georgina Nazer is that he was a "rich old man". This was from my aunt, Betty, who, sadly, is no longer with us to furnish more details. I have found a marr. record in the IGI 24 Sep 1888, Manhatten, which corroborates her information, but I have been unable to find out any more about him. Later, she went off to Germany and married somebody else, which is also uncorroboratable, it would appear.
 
May Georgina Nazer was born in Northern Ireland, the daughter of Henry Kelly Nazer, and Eliza or Bessie G Sexton. Other kids of the family went to the States, too, producing a stock broker and an opera singer.
 
The image of the marr. cert. is not available, so I have got stuck.
 
I hope that, even if "my" CFC is not the same as yours, you may find him of interest !
 
P.S.: I have just realized that, in the IGI record, his parents are given as Fred C and Charlotte Bassett, and so I reckon we are talking about the same person.
 
Best wishes,
 
Rosemary Simons

John,
I stumbled across your page and I see that my aunt Cecile Crawford and my cousin Mike Stewart have already been in contact with you. I just wanted to provide you with some updates on my side of the family. I am Stephen David Stewart, b 4 Aug 1965 in Abilene, TX; m Theresa Lynn Smith on May 25, 1991 in El Paso, TX, born Aug 22, 1966 in El Paso, TX. My children are Austin Warner Stewart, b Feb 1, 1995 in Davenport, IA; and Brandon Cade Stewart, b Nov. 20, 1997 in Davenport, IA. We currently live in Houston, TX.
My father's information is correct--....8322366202. My mother is Marilyn Joyce Hahn, b Jan. 24, 1940 in Corpus Christi, TX. My brother Patrick Albert Stewart was born Dec. 13, 1968 in Houston, TX; his wife is Georgina (gina); Patrick and Gina have one son, Christopher, b Feb. 10, 1996, and Gina has a daughter, Jenining Grado, b Feb. 1, 1990. My brother Christopher was born May 22, 1970. Sadly, I don't remember the full names of the mothers of his children. Jocelyn's mother is Sarah, and Daegan and Tristan are the children of Kiska.
My sister Mary's information is correct. I do not remember the date of her wedding. I'll try to collect the additional information you are missing and send it to you ASAP.
Sincerely,
Steve Stewart

John,
Here's some additional information on my brother Christopher Warner Stewart: Jocelyn Stewart is the daughter of Sarah Elizabeth Dray, b 3-18-1975. Jocelyn was adopted by George and Marilyn Stewart. Christopher and Sarah were never married. Kiska Daegan Barela, b. 9-29-1998, and Tristan Doyle Barela, b 3-20-2002 are the children of Christopher and Kiska Victoria Barela, b 8-26-1974. Christopher and Kiska were never married.
I hope this helps.
