• Notes

  If James and Sarah Bass married in 1781, they would have been eleven years old, and yet this date is cited repeatedly. It is possible this was some kind of betrothal ceremony, research continues as to colonial betrothal practices. I have found evidence of a James Robertson who came to Stokes County with a son Daniel but I have not found proof that he was our James Robertson. I know he was probably about forty when he married Anna Mabe (if he married her) so it's really possible he was married at LEAST once before. Velpo Robertson
