My 4th great
grandparents Tarlton-Elizabeth Farrar Lee donated the
property, along with Martin Baskett, to build Buffalo Lick
Baptist Church and are buried in the church burying
ground. Among the earliest members were another of my 4th
great grandparents Thomas- Dicey Barnett Baskett. Thomas
Baskett, Martin Baskett (1st cousins), Tarlton Lee, and a
Lucy Baskett, who I have not identified, are all on the
1810 census.
On the 1795 tax roles were a John and William Baskett,
possibly brothers or cousins of my Thomas Baskett. A son
of Thomas Baskett, Alfred Baskett married Matilda Lee, the
daughter of Tarlton Lee. (My 3rd great grand parents)
Other Basketts moved into Shelby Co from Virginia.
Many were children of Rev. William - Mary Pace Baskett
who was pastor of Lyles Baptist Church, Palyma, Virginia
from 1795-1815. |
