 "Patience Blakeslee, b. Aug. 14, 1775; m. JESSE BASSETT, who d. age 85; i. besides 4 chil. who d. inf. 1. DAU, b. 1794; m. JOHN GOODSELL; 2. CHLOE b. 1797, m. AMASA THORPE. Mrs. Thorpe was at the Tuttle meeting in 1873 with 3 gr. chil., Eliza, Charlotte and Julia. "A very pleasant and rather remarkable event took place at the house of Mr. JOEL BASSETT in North Haven, Thursday. The event was a family gathering in honor of the eightieth birthday of Mrs. AMASA THORPE, and was remarkable because four active old ladies, all sisters, were present, the aggregate of whose ages is 310 years. The sisters were Mrs. JOHN GOODSELL, aged eighty-three years, Mrs. AMASA THORPE, aged eight, Mrs. ITHAMAR TUTTLE, aged seventy-seven, and Mrs. JAMES SMITH, aged seventy. Of a family of nine children of JESSE and PATIENCE BASSETT these four are the only living members, four having died in infancy and another daughter departing this life some thirty odd years ago. The Bassett family was one of the first which settled in North Haven, and the old homestead is yet to be seen standing a short distance from the bridge. Jesse, the immediate ancestor of this branch, lived on the spot where his namesake Mr. JESSE GOODSELL now resides, and here the four sisters were born and brought up in the ways of good and old New England life, replenishing the family wardrobe by means of the knitting needle, the loom, and the spinning wheel, converting the products of the dairy into butter and cheese, and taking their share of fun at corn huskings, candy pullings, etc. The paternal Jesse lived to the advanced age of eighty-five years, and Mrs. Thorpe, or "Aunt Chloe," as she is familiarly called, has in her possession likenesses of both parents which are well worth seeing. It is said that the old gentleman had no need to wear a wig at an age when most men are compelled to do so or give up the luxury of hair, and as he invariably presented himself with each particular hair in its proper place he came to go by the expressive name of "Slick Head Bassett." He was the second man in town to own a one horse wagon. All of the sisters have been married and have reared families. For several years it has been their custom to unite in celebrating each other's natal day, but this time the pleasure was increased by the unexpected participation of children and grandchildren, including one great grandchild, nearly all of whom were present."--Newspaper, 1877
