1. Josiah Bass was born in Louisiana. He married Mary Elizabeth Nash, probably in Rapides Parish, LA. and twelve children were born. Mary was born in 1830 in Louisiana and died in 1893 and is buried in Wisby Cemetery, Pitkin, Vernon Parish, LA. The death for Josiah Bass is somewhat confusing because Elizabeth was listed as a widow in the 1880 Vernon Parish Census, and Josiah was not located elsewhere.
