Basil Jordan Carrico was born on December 14, 1848 in Pottersville, Missouri to Josiah (1803-1873) and Jane Williams (1810-1882). Basil was the youngest of eight.
- Elizabeth L. (1829-?)
- John R. (1832-1864)
- Nancy Ann (1833-1901)
- Josephus Cyrus (1837-1908)
- Isaac Owen (1842-1864)
- Mary Jane or Mary Ann (1844-?)
- Martha Ann (1846-1921).
Basil married Mary Jane White on April 17, 1869. Mary Jane would die the following year during childbirth. I do not know if that child survived. Basil would remarry that same year to Margaret Susan Riley (1852-1940) on August 31, 1870. Basil and Margaret would have six children:
- Arminda Jane (1871-1960)
- Josiah Converse (my 2nd great grandfather; 1873-1957)
- Lewis Harrison (1875-1876)
- Herbert Decature (1877-1969)
- Anna Mae (1880-1971)
- Maude Esta (1887-1963)
Basil has one of those names that I have seen have several variations of spelling. I use the spelling used on his head stone. Some other variations are Bazzil, Bazil, Bazzel. Basil primarily lived in Arkansas throughout his life but according to the 1920 census he and Margaret had moved to Appleglen, Arizona. Basil passed on September 10, 1926 at age 77. Basil is buried at Wann Cemetery in Beaty, Arizona.
