Pension records for Nicholas "Wesley " Bass October 9, 1846 to July 5, 1904.
It is the opinion of this family Nicholas and Needham "Wesley" Bass are one and
the same. He always went by Wesley and there are no records yet to prove this.
Wesley Bass was a resident of Sumter Co Ga. all of his life and was married to
Amanda "Manda" Parker, d/o Caleb Parker.  Three children lived to become
adults.  William Ackis (my grandfather), Albert Hinkle and Robert B. Bass.
