Note
Biography*: Isaac Newton Bassett was the oldest living child in his family. His mother died of typhoid fever when he was about ten years old. At the age of sixteen he enlisted in the Confederate Army, on July 3, 1861, and served in Company A, 15th Alabama Infantry. He was in many battles and was wounded several times. He was injured severely two or three days after the war was over and neither side knew it was over. The Yankees were out of ammunition and were loading the cannons with trace chains from horses harnesses because no cannon balls were available. Isaac was hit in the head with a link of the trace chain. The Yankees picked him up and took him to a hospital. He was in the hospital for about six months. All his life there was a deep indentation in his head several inches long and a half inch deep. This injury caused him to have epileptic seizures from which he suffered the rest of his life. Isaac and his wife were staunch members of the Primitive Baptist church.
