Note: 8 Richard Bass was evidently the older of the two sons of Andrew Bass, so he must have inherited substantial land holdings from his father. He is said to have been born in 1732 in North Carolina, but I suspect he may have been born a few years earlier in Virginia. I know very little about him, except that he was Colonel (commander) of the militia in Dobbs County during the Revolution. His wife's name is reported to have been Sarah McKinnie. They had five children, three sons and two daughters. He died in what had become Wayne County in 1792..
