First wife of Rev. Sanford Bassett, farmer, minister, temperance leader. According to tradition passed through the line of their daughter Sarah Bassett Kester, their home in Butler Twp., DeKalb County, Indiana, was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Mary Ann was born in 1825 or 1826 to Adam Kuffle and Sarah Poe. She married Sanford Bassett on Oct. 23, 1845, in Wayne County, Ohio. About 1850, the Bassetts moved to DeKalb County, Indiana. Sanford and Mary Ann had eight children: Leander Sceva, born February 28, 1847, in Ohio (died in infancy); Sarah Marilla, born Oct. 10, 1848, in Ohio; Harriet Beacher, born March 14, 1851, in Indiana; Lucius Matlack, born June 2, 1853, in Indiana; Lewis Daniel, born February 29, 1856, in Indiana; Sanford Sceva, born January 6, 1859, in Indiana; Martha Ann, born May 23, 1861, in Indiana; and Cyrus Prindle, born October 19, 1863, in Indiana.
About 1879, Mary Ann and Sanford moved with their three youngest children to Sherman County, Nebraska. Mary Ann died there in 1883. Sanford remarried and had four more children by his second wife Rebecca Rosenberry before he died in 1893. He is buried beside Mary Ann.
I am indebted to Diane Weston for telling me where the Bassetts are buried and to Susan Engelhardt for information on the birth dates of their children.
