This doth certify that William Bass, son of John Bass and grandson of
William Bass, is of English and Indian descent and is not a Negroe nor
y't a Mulattoe as by some lately and malitiously stated. His late Mother
Sarah Ann Bass was a virtuous woman of Indian descent, a daughter of
Symon Lorina and Joan Tucker lawfully begotten. Sd Joan Tucker was a
sister of Robin Tucker a Christian Indian of ye Nansemund nation.

Ye sd William Bass, ye elder, was a son of Mary Bass and William Bass,
Senr. Mary Bass was a daughter of Great Peter, King of ye Nansemunds.
These are of common knowledge.

All of the Basses of this County descend from Capt'n Nathaniell Basse,
as satisfactorally proved by the records preserved

May ye 17, 1797                           Test: Wm Portlock
