Oral Traditions

According to my grandfather, James Cordis Bastin, and and his first cousin, Garnett L. Bastin, Sr. (both of Hiseville, Barren County, KY), Thomas Bastin, Jr. came over the mountains from NC to KY with his brother. The brother later moved to IL or IN. (1971). -- Gary Bastin

This brother, who came over the mountains with Thomas Bastin, Jr., appears to be John Bastin. He is listed in the 1840 east Barren County, KY census with Thomas Bastin, Jr. It appears that he moved to Morgan County, IN in the early 1840's, and that he raised a second family there. (July 1997) -- Gary Bastin

John Atwell bought land in Green Co, KY in 1811. The Atwells were from MD - came through VA & NC to KY. The Bastins were from NC; The Jewells were from VA or NC.

In the Morman Library Thomas Bastin is listed under the number AFN:NLCX-BM

According to Janet Cochran, Hustonville Road, Stanford, KY (24 May 1987), Thomas Bastin, Jr. was living in Pulaski Co, KY in 1828. According to Othella Lile of Hardyville, KY (Sept. 1993), the Bastins, Nunns, Atwells & Jewells came into Ky from NC in the early 1800s by wagons. They were on their way to MO but the weather turned bad so they ended up staying in KY Some of the Bastins did go on to MO.

According to Irene McGlasson of Horse Cave, KY (March 1994), some of the Atwell, Bastin, Jewell, & Nunns all came to KY together in covered wagons in a wagon-train around 1809 or 1810. A Thomas Bastin of KY was a Private in the War of 1812. He served under the Roll of Captain James McNeils Company, 2nd Regiment, KY. This Thomas Bastin is clearly not the same as our Thomas Bastin, Jr. since he had not migrated from Caswell Co, NC this early.

According to Wanda L. Braner, Thomas bought land in Caswell Co in 1817 and 1818. The 1809 Caswell County, NC Tax List shows Thomas Jr. there, also. In 1810, the Caswell Co Index of Census Records shows Thomas Jr still there. Caswell Co Record of Deeds, Book T, page 321, dtd. 13 Dec 1818, shows Thomas Jr. buying 73 acres of land from his sister Anna Bastin & John Newell. This is from a letter from Wanda L. Braner to Glenda Bastin, dtd. 5 Mar 1995.-- Gary Bastin, 26 Dec 1996
