Seventh Generation (Continued)
Family of Joshua Kilburn S. BASFORD (260) & Eliza (MOSIER)
628. Devillo Edward BASSFORD (Joshua Kilburn S. BASFORD6, Jonathan5, Benjamin4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born abt 1848-1849 in Illinois. [553], [1018], [1643], [1644] age 2 in 1850 census, age 11 in 1860 census, age 64/65 at death. Devillo Edward died in Omaha, NE, on 23 Jan 1913. [1644] Buried on 27 Jan 1913 in Linwood Park Cemetery, Boone, IA. [1643], [293] aka: Edward, Basford. [1467]
It is not proven which of Joshua’s wives would be the mother of Devillo. Based on his age in the census records, it would appear that he was born shortly after Joshua’s marriage to Eliza, so presumably she would be his mother.
He is probably the D. E. Bassford listed in the 1870 census for 4th Ward Omaha, Douglas Co., NE, p. 480. [1645]
D. E. Bassford, male, age 21, b. IL, ___ livery stable, personal estate 300
(living with family of C. Corguns?)
He is probably the D. E. Bassford listed in the 1880 census for Carlin, Elko Co., NV, p. 90B [1646]
D. E. Bassford, male, age 30, b. IL, father b. VA, mother b. VA, locomotive engineer
(His son Edward is listed with his wife’s parents. Presumably they raised him after Ida’s death.)
I also assume he would be the Deville E. Basford listed in the 1900 census for 4 Ward Fremont, Dodge Co., NE, 219 Maine St., 1 Jun 1900, p. 214A (although the age is a little off) [1642]
George Danver?, male, head, age 40, b. Sep 1859, IL, father b. PA, mother b. OH,
day work hemp mill, single
Deville E. Basford, male, clerk, age 50, b. Feb 1850, IL, father b. ?, mother b. PA,
clerk in lodging ___, single

[1643] and [1647] give death as 24 Jan 1913. [293] gives death as 24 Jan 1912.

He married Ida PARKER, daughter of Marvin PARKER (1816-1902) & Betsey WOOD (1833-1921), on 6 Feb 1873 in Boone Co., IA. [1648], [1649] Born in 1854. [744] Ida died in Boone Co., IA, in 1873. [744] Buried on 12 Feb 1875 in Linwood Park Cemetery, Boone, IA. [1643], [293]
Gravestone, Linwood Park Cemetery, Boone, IA [293]
Ida Bassford/1854-1873
[293] gives death as 12 Feb 1873, but that is before the birthdate of Edward Devillo. [1643] gives burial as 12 Feb 1875, but that is inconsistent with the death year of 1873 on her gravestone.

629. Phebe Amelia BASFORD (Joshua Kilburn S.6, Jonathan5, Benjamin4, Joseph3, James2, Jacob1). Born on 29 Apr 1850 in Illinois. [293] gravestone. Phebe Amelia died in Steamboat Springs, CO, on 23 Dec 1909. [293] gravestone. Buried in Steamboat Springs Cemetery, Steamboat Springs, CO. [293] aka: Amelia. [1018]
She is probably the Phebe Basford who married William Guy Jones (prob. b. 31 Dec 1835, St. Lawrence Co., NY, son of Harry and Nancy Jones) on 14 Dec 1870, possibly in Denver, CO, however, this has not been proven.
