My relationship to Joseph D. Bascom is remote.  We are 4th cousins, 4 generations removed.

 Brad Bascom writes, "Susie's connection is 3rd cousins 3 times removed in an entirely different line.   So Isaac R. Bascom was 3rd cousins to Joseph Dayton Bascom and I'm pretty certain they did not know that themselves."

The letter (from Joseph Bascom to "Mrs Ruth Bascom" was one written to Joseph by my great Uncle Richard asking about the family lineage. 

My people, both sides of my maternal lineage,  were all traveling operators during the late 1800's and early 1900's. (We're a very mechanical bunch)   They traveled to WI, IA,  S Dak, all over on Huge floating dredges Sometimes they lived in tents, sometimes the dredges had house boats and the whole family would go.  My aunts were cooks for the crews.  It was a unique form of life and rough.  I wonder if they used Broderick and Bascom cable on those dredges!  What a hook up that would be!  Susie
