The Black Bass Indians
As the volunteer coordinator for the Bass family FT DNA project working in conjunction with the National Geographical Society we have learned much about the Bass family. I have always believed (trusting my paper trail) I decended from Nathaniel Basse' down through the John Bass - Love Harris line. But after finding that I had Haplotype A and then having another test made by an independent testing group for confirmation I found I truly had Haplotype A. Haplotype A from the Y chromosone which goes back to the San/Koi tribes of bushmen of South Africa which left Africa less that 1500 years ago. Type A Haplotype is the oldest on the face of the earth and is also one of the rarest. It means that all Basses with the A Haplotype have a black grandfather straight back in the line. We have found another group of Basses also from early Virginia that have Haplotype R1b1 which is very typical of european decent. We have a few of other Haplotypes such as E3a, I, IIc, R1b1e. These make up only a very few Basses. About half of those tested have Haplotype A and the other half has Haplotype R1b1. The Basses of the South are almost all Haplotype A and those of the North or mainly R1b1. This proves that we had two distinct lines of Basses in early Virginia before 1700. I have given up trying determine if my line came from Edward A or John A as the evidence is too confusing and after revisiting the data several times I can not find definitive proof in either supposition. Maybe they are both wrong. I have accepted that we have either Nansesmond and/or Chowan Indian blood. What I am now trying to determine is how and when our Haplotype A Black Indian grandfather obtain the Bass(e') name. I have been working on several possibilites but without more DNA testing we will have to wait for the results.
