Buried near son Silas. Baze's headstone which reads Baze Thurman. Baze's wife Margaret is buried to the right of him in the Billy Marksbury property in a cow pasture on Cook Road in Spencer County KY.
The name Basye in John Basye Thurman's name may possibly be traced to his mother's family. Nancy (Basye) may be related to John Basye, who was the surveyor listed in Prince William Order Book 3, 1755-1757. There was also a Basye's Hole Branch on Chopawamsick Creek dated from much earlier years. The lineage of John Basye is traced to Edmond Basye of Northumberland Co., VA who is documented in 1669. The record of John Basye's offspring has not been traced. The Kentucky Bicentennial Registery refers to a private collection which lists a Miss ----Basye of Prince William married to William Oldham in the same time era. That record could lead to the identity of a sister, and indicate Basye daughter(s).
