Hello All,
Thanks in advance for any help.
I’m taking a shot in the dark here.
I was recently directed to this site while searching for my great, great grandmother, Ella Bass.
She was born in NC. I’ve gotten that from US Census sheets.
She married a Silas Piper in Xenia, Greene County, OH, in 1880.
While searching this forum for Bass. I found a thread discussing Bass and Pettiford among other names.
While searching for Ella Bass records, I’ve learned that one of Silas Piper’s sisters, Adelia Piper, married a Bolly (Bally) Pettiford from NC.
Do any of these names ring a bell?
Ella Bass was born about 1857. Bolly Pettiford was born about 1845.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the Forum. I am the one that sent you the link on the Greene County board.
I looked up Silas’ brother, Alexander, he married Fannie COUSINS in 1877 in Greene County. I have seen the name COUSINS mentioned on here before, too.
The other name that caught my eye on your Greene County post was Silas and Ella (BASS) PIPER’s son, Daniel Ashby PIPER. Lynella has been looking for ASHBY’s.
Oh my. It always pays to look in my file before I start typing a reply. 🙂 Anyway, a few households away from Silas in the 1880 census is a Phillip PIPER (age 20, also born in Louisiana). I believe this may be another one of Silas’ siblings. According to Family Search, Phillip PIPER married Mary CORDELL in 1879 in Greene County. The Cordell surname is one that I have been looking for as they married into my JONESes. Mary’s parents are Martha (PEARSON) and Herbert/Hubbard CORDELL. Hubbard has a brother named Carter CORDELL and Carter’s daughter, Anna Margaret CORDELL, married my 2nd great-granduncle, David JONES.

Welcome to the Forum, Dave,
There are 3 BASS households in 1870 Greene Co., Ohio.
1st BASS household:
page 330B, 4th Ward, Xenia, Oh:
“Ellen” Bass, 14, b.NC, is the daughter of Mariah (“Maria” on the 1880 census) Bass, 56, b.NC. Mariah’s probably widowed since she’s shown as the owner of the house with a Real Estate Value of $800 listed. (There is no “Ella” Bass indexed and there is only a 2 year age discrepancy between those two census years, so this Ellen must be Ella.
Persons other than Ellen listed in Mariah’s 1870 household:
Lydia Bass, 20, NC
Henry Bass, 10, NC
Thomas Bass, 2, Ohio
George Mosely, 27, Mississippi
Douglas Mosely, 17, Mississippi
2nd BASS household
page 328A, 4th Ward, Xenia, Oh:
John Bass, 38, b.NC &
Eliza, 32, wife, b.Ga.
page 306B, 3rd Ward, Xenia, Oh:
Polly Bass, 74, b.NC, is a domestic servant in the household of Sophia Perry, 54, b.Mass.
I haven’t found them yet in 1860 NC.

Hello,
I have an Alfred Parker son Of Henry and Mahabey Parker who married a Melvina Evans in 1854. Melvina Evans parents were Thomas Evans and Sally Bass. They moved to Ohio from Granville County North Carolina and can be found on the 1860 Fayette County, Union, Ohio Federal Census and the 1870 Claibourne County, Union, Ohio.
There children are:
Martha E. Parker
Rosa W. parker
Nicholas H. Parker
Giles T. Parker
Mary A. Parker
Morie G. Parker
I also have a Tryphena Parker born around 1857 in Ohio on the 1870 Federal census. She is 12 on the 1870 census and the only one listed as white. The rest of them Alfred and Malvina included are listed as (M) which i’m thinking is mulatto.
I have a couple of Parker/Pettiford marriages in North Carolina too.
and my great-great grandmother Frances married to Junius Parker parents are Turner Evans and Martha Bass.
Do you have any parkers in your family tree?
Hey! I’ll take a gander at it and see! It’s too early for me this morning! I think it’s one of those days where it’s going to be too early for me, all day!:)

My Jones family first settled in Xenia, Greene County, Ohio after leaving Virginia. They had 11 children who then spread out into Montgomery, Miami, Champaign, Clark, Shelby, Warren, Clinton, Highland, Fayette, Madison, Clark, and Franklin Counties in Ohio. Some of which border Union County.
I looked up the “Tryphena” that you mentioned. The census itself looks like the name “Isyphena” based on the handwriting of the other names on the page.
1870:
Marysville, Paris Twp., Union Co., OH; page 157, visit 121/122
Parker, Andrew J., 54, male, white, farmer, $6000, $800, Maryland
—– Alzira, 54, female, white, keeping house, Virginia
—– Julian, 19, female, white, Ohio
—– Mary E., 17, female, white, Ohio
—– Thomas W., 15, male, white, Ohio
—– Isyphena, 12, female, white, Ohio, attended school
Isyphena was on the 2nd page of the census, so maybe that is why she was indexed as “Parker” and the others in the household were indexed as “Pasker”.
(Also, few households away at visit 124/125 is another Parker family.)
Parker, Isaac F., 25, male, white, farmer, $1500, $400, Ohio
—– Elizabeth M., 23, female, white, keeping house, Ohio
—– Julia, 6/12, female, white, Ohio, born in Nov.
This household was indexed as “Parkes”.
You are correct the “M” stands for mulatto. The other names you had listed off were all in the same household. Did you know that Sally Evans (age 85, born in North Carolina) was also living in their household?
