Hello Ray,
I think it likely that you and I are distant cousins. As for the dates,
they are from Eldred Melton, who lives in Frankfort, KY. She is a mutual
cousin of Ruth Bastin Elliott and myself, and it is from her that I received
the information. It is possible
I looked in the KY Vital Records, and found no mention of your grandmother,
Ruth Elliott. Since the vital records begin in 1911, this indicates that
she may very well have died in that year as you suspect. As for Jake
Elliott, the online KY Vital Records list two, but only one of which is
likely your grandfather. The first one is obviously not him, for it is an
infant who died under the age of one year old:
JAKE 1 ELLIOTT
Date 180126
Age U/1
Place CASEY
Volume 002
Cert 00511
Deathvol 18
But, the second one may be him:
JAKE ELLIOTT
Date 391218
Age 069
Place CASEY
Residence CASEY
Volume 059
Cert 29271
Deathvol 39
I think it likely that this second one is probably your grandfather. As for
the first one, is it possibly a brother of your father, who died in
infancy? Do you know if your father had a brother named Jake who died
young? Do you know the names of any cousins of your Dad on the Bastin side
of the family? If you do know the names of any cousins, we may be able to
piece together the family connection.
I am forwarding this to the BASTIN-L list. As I suspect that this is the
same family, then the BASTIN-L list has approximately 75 subscribers who are
cousins to you and me and some of them may know more information. Can
anyone help Ray with these BASTIN family connections? If so, please respond
both to Ray and to our BASTIN-L list.
thanks,
Gary Bastin

There is some confusion about the second wife of Benjamin. Some sources show Patsey Jane Hatter (m. 1871). Others show Patsey Jane Statham (m. 1870). They may be the same person, with a maiden name vs. first husband's name confusion problem. The 1870 date is probably correct. -- Gary Bastin 27 Dec 1996

Date: Thu, 16 Dec 1999 23:54:29 -0500
It is with deep regret that I report the passing of another cousin to many
on the BASTIN-L list. The following obituary for Mary Edna Bastin Fathman
appeared in the Danville (KY) Advocate-Messenger for 12 December 1999. Edna
was a great great great great grand-daughter of Thomas and Hannah Bastin,
and her place in the traced portion of the BASTIN family tree is as follows:
Theodore G. Fathman == Mary Edna Bastin
George Millard Bastin == Sarah 'Sally' Bratcher
John Bastin == Susan Hogue
Benjamin Barton Bastin == Sarah Ann Falconbury
John Benjamin 'Johney' Bastin == Sarah Ann 'Sally' Reed
William B. Bastin == Deborah Cook
Thomas Bastin == Hannah Brockman
Following the custom of many of the Kentucky BASTINs, both men and women,
she went by her middle name, Edna, instead of her first name, Mary. Her
siblings included Edith, Gladys, Ethel, Bertha, Everett, and Basil.
Bertha's husband is Claude Pike. I have Edith's husband listed as Albert
Goodman, but her last name is now Cain, implying that she has re-married.
Gladys' husband is Carlos Bradshaw. Ethel Bastin's husband was Siler
Terrill Floyd; she died in 1970 and Siler died in 1977. Everett was
married to Alice Hurley, and he died in 1967. Theodore G. Fathman died on
March 10, 1979 in Boyle County, KY, although his residence was in Casey
County, KY at the time.

Subject: Singleton Young's biography
FROM: Dayla (Young) Ahrens
A Biographical History
of
Central Kansas
Vol. II
Singleton L. Young
p. 1242-1243
Singleton L. Young resides on section 34, Paxon township, Pratt county,
where he owns two hundred and forty acres of valuable land, on which he
carries on general farming and stock-raising. He was born in Lincoln
county, Kentucky, May 12, 1833, and is a son of Godfrey Young, whose birth
occurred in Withe county, West Virginia, in 1798. He was of German lineage
and from his native state came to Kentucky, becoming one of the first
settlers of Lincoln county. He was a companion of the noted hunter, Casper
Baugh, and together they at one time engaged in hunting bears and killed a
cub. They were then attacked by the mother bear and had a long fight with
her. While residing in Lincoln county, Godfrey Young married Tabitha
Bastin, who was born in Pulaski, Kentucky. Her mother died at the advanced
age of ninety years, in Lincoln county, that state. Godfrey Young lived and
died in Lincoln county, passing away in 1853 at the age of fifty-six years,
while his wife died in 1863 at the age of sixty years. She had nursed
soldiers at her home—for this was the period of the Civil war—and contracted
a fever which terminated her life. Both were members of the Methodist
Episcopal church. The father served as a class leader. In politics he was
a Whig. In their family were eight children, of whom two are now living:
Henderson P., who is postmaster of Highland, Kentucky, and Singleton L.
Those who have passed away are: John; William; Benjamin; Nelson, who was a
member of the Third Kentucky Infantry for three years; Margaret A.; and
Eliza J.
Mr. Young, of this review, was reared upon the home farm in Lincoln county,
Kentucky, and at the age of nineteen years married Jane Bastin, who was born
in that state, a daughter of Thomas and Jude Bastin. She died in December,
1863. Of the six children born of that marriage, two are living: Benjamin,
of Kingfisher, Oklahoma, and James M. of Woods county, Oklahoma. Nelson,
William, Jude, and Mary J. have departed this life. For his second wife Mr.
Young chose Mrs. Eliza (Martin) Miller, a widow. She died in Macoupin
county, Illinois, in 1874. Of the four children born of this marriage three
are yet living: Abraham L., of Paxon township, Pratt county; John, of the
same township; and Doc, who is engaged in business in Ingersoll, Oklahoma.
Henry is deceased. In 1876, in Macoupin county, Illinois, Mr. Young wedded
Mrs. Mary (Lidster) Johnson, a daughter of William Lidster. She was born in
Morgan county, Illinois, and was one of the early settlers of Macoupin
county, that state. Her father was a soldier in the war of 1812. He
married Elizabeth Riley, who was born in Tennessee and was a daughter of
Jacob Riley, a soldier of the Mexican war. The parents of Mrs. Young had
five children: Mrs. Ann Louisa Butler, now deceased; Mrs. Martha Thompson;
Mrs. Mary Jane Young; Mrs. Elizabeth Keller, of Paxon township; and Mrs.
Elvira Atkinson, who died in Illinois. The father died of quick consumption
at the age of thirty-nine years, while the wife passed away at the age of
forty-three years. She was a member of the Baptist church. He, too, was a
believer in Christianity and in his political faith was a Whig. By the
third marriage Mr. Young has five children: Charles M., who is married and
follows farming in Paxon township; Hattie, the wife of John Howerton, a
farmer of the same township; Marcus M., who married Nora Stephenson, a
native of Linn county, Missouri, and a daughter of Henry Stephenson, their
home being now on his father’s farm, which he operates; Joseph M., of
Belvidere, Kansas, who is in the railroad service; and Jesse at home.
In 1864 Mr. Young sold his farm in Kentucky on account of the hostile
feelings engendered by the war, and removed to Macoupin county, Illinois.
He there purchased one hundred and twenty acres of good farm land, where he
carried on agricultural pursuits and stock raising for fifteen years. His
next removal took him to Gage county, Nebraska, in 1879, and after one year
he went to Andrew county, Missouri, where he remained two years. Later he
spent sixteen months in Harper county, Kansas, near Harper City, and in 1884
came to Pratt county, where he purchased his present farm. He was one of
the first settlers in Paxon township. There were no houses in sight, but
he courageously took up the work of developing and improving his land, being
assisted by his sons and step-sons. He had a team of two cows with which to
operate his farm. He built a house fourteen by sixteen feet and this served
as a family home for some time, but later he erected a more commodious
residence, built a good barn, planted an orchard and to-day has two hundred
and forty acres under a high state of cultivation. In 1884 he sold fodder
for one hundred dollars. He has seen hard times and in 1885 he had to
mortgage his farm, but in 1898 he cleared this of all indebtedness, and is
to-day the owner of this valuable tract on which he is raising cattle and
hogs. He also has one hundred acres planted to wheat. In addition to his
home place he rents a tract of one hundred and sixty acres. There is a
grove of eight acres upon his place and a bearing orchard from which he
sells much fruit, thus materially adding to his income.
In politics Mr. Young was for many years a Republican, but later became
identified with the People’s party. He and his wife are both active members
and earnest workers in the Baptist church and have labored earnestly to
promote the work of the Sunday school, Mrs. Young having served as
superintendent for many years. Both are highly respected people, honored by
all who know them and they have reared a family of children who are a credit
to their name.
