Kind(er):
In 1830 Cely Apperson, Luanna's mother, was shown by the U. S. Census in Cole County and living nearby were Luanna and William Bass and two children. Luanna probably died about 1848 following the birth of their daughter Mary. The U. S. 1850 Census of Bates, County, Missouri showed William Bass, age 38; Martha, age 22, not shown as a wife; John, age 15; Henry, age 14; Elizabeth, age 9; Nancy, age 7; James, age 3; and Mary, age 2. The 1860 U. S. Census showed Nancy Bass, age 16, in the home of her aunt, Minerva Conner. In 1880 Henry Bass was shown living with his aunt, Martha Martin.
My grandfather said that in 1849 several left for California's gold fields and were never heard from again. They may have died trying to cross the desert where many lost their way and died from thirst and lack of food. Grandpa's story is corroborated by a letter received by the writer in 1952 from Mrs. Minnie Jones Wells of Tyler, Texas, a great-granddaughter of Francis Apperson, brother of John. In writing of Francis' daughter, Mary, Mrs. Wells wrote, "and Mary, Aunt Polly we called her, married a Jones. Soon afterwards he left for California during the gold rush, soon after marrying, and died on the way and they buried him at that place where he died. So many went and never came back. I have heard my grandmother tell so many wild stories about Indians, or starving to death, or some kind of disease; so many died on that journey and no drinking water in that desert country at that time." Mrs. Wells' grandmother was Nancy Melcina Apperson Jones, a granddaughter of Francis Apperson. As we were unable to locate some of John and Cely's daughters and their families after the 1850 U. S. Census we think it very possible that they did leave for California soon afterward and lost their lives on the way
