Illinois
The first persons to settled in Hickory township were Jonathan Viles, Nicholson Viles, his uncle, William
Stevenson, a son-in-law of Nicholson Viles, and Amos Richardson. In the spring of 1826 this party of pioneers crossed the
Illinois river at Beard's ferry, and taking up on old Indian trail, followed it along the bluffs until reaching a point where
Butlersville now stands, where they halted, and for a time camped together. They all settled along the bluffs and raised a
few crops, and all but Amos Richardson, moved out of the township. He remained here, and about 1830 was shot and killed by
Burrell Basset, who was then a resident or squatter. This affair is said to have occurred from trading wives. The next settler
was Abraham Carlock, who arrived in 1827. He was a migratory individual, and moved about from place to place in the township
for several years. It is related that he was a very old man when he came, and had a large family of grown children. He was
minus his left hand, it having been burned off. He died here nearly forty years ago, and but little of his is known....Burrell
Basset, above mentioned arrived about the same time (1830). His crime was compromised by his enlisting in the Black Hawk war
in 1831, after which we lose sight of him.

the Bassetts below are your family. We are missing one or two generations in the 1800 to link them to this family via
paper records.
