Samuel Bass Jr. was made freeman of the colony on 26 May 1647.

He died as a young man leaving an only son. The inventory of Samuel Bass the younger, of Braintrey, yeoman, was taken 15 May 1653, by Capt. Humphrey Atherton, Dea. Wm. Parker, Richard Brackett, Francis Eliot, & Edmund Sheffield: House, barn & orchard & 5 acres, 2 in tillage, 7 in wheat, land at the neck purchased of Martin Saunders Ð201/18/5. Widow Mary deposed & relinquished her dower, & the whole estate to be divided between mother and child, & Mr. Howard in behalf of his daughter to give the child half the estate at age 14.

A long & detailed account of cattle & utensils etc. mentions his Scott (Scotch indentured servant), his wife and son, the wife went to Dorchester to her father's house for 13 weeks for lying in when the child was born etc. The whole estate to be the widows but Dea. Bass & Robert Howard are to lease the house & 5 acres, and the mother to bring up the child and receive Ð7 rent. The magistrates approve the agreement making the rent Ð10, on 23 April 1657. In petitioning for an adjustment on the inventory Robert Howard states his daughter came to his house in Dorchester to have her child. (Dorchester vital records before 1657 were burned in that year.)
