    Samuel Bass, came to New England with his wife Anne, and probably one or two young children, among the first settlers of the Massachusetts colony about 1630, or soon after, and settled in Roxbury. Their names were enrolled among the earliest members of the first church in that town, which was gathered as early as 1632, where they may be seen at this day.

    He was admitted freeman, May 14, 1634, and lived in Roxburv until about 1610, when he removed his family to Braintree, Massachusetts. He was admitted a member of the “First Congregational Church,” having been dismissed and recommended to them from the church in Roxbury.

    He was chosen and ordained the first deacon of the church in Braintree, which office he held for about fifty years.

    Deacon Samuel Bass was a man of strong and vigorous mind and was one of the leading men of the town for many years. He departed this life upon the thirteenth day of Sept., 1694, and was the father and grandfather, and great-grandfather of one hundred and sixty-two children before he died.
