I am looking for information on the descendants of Lewis Bazden/Basden free person of color. He was born around 1760 to Martha Basden b. 12 Jul 1732 in Isle of Wight county VA the daughter of James Basden 1690/1700 - 20 July 1770 of Isle of Wight and Southampton Counties Virginia. Lewis had at least one sibling. I don't know if it was a male or female. The clerk of Southampton county wrote his "r" and "s" almost identical so the sibling could have have been listed as Bardin in the early marriage records. Lewis Basden (listed as Bardin) married Sarah Tann 27 Oct 1803 in Southampton County Virginia. He married second Ava Dunkins 06 Jun 1817 in Southampton County Virginia. He also lived for a while in Surry county Virginia. There is a Basden house listed as an historic structure in Surry County dating from the 1820's. Is this structure his home? I don't know of other Basden's living living in Surry County.
