BirthCircacirca 1870 Bascom Hascue Keys was born in Virginia circa 1870. George Keys' letter, citing the James Keys bible, says Bascom was born 11-01-1867. However, he also lists James King Keys as born in Feb. 1868 which creates a conflict. The 1900 census lists James as born in Feb. 1867 so it is difficult to know which dates are correct. However Bascom was 10 in 1880 (James was 12) so it would seem more likely Bascom was born closer to 1869 or 1870.2,1 
Death16 Jul 1886 Bascom died on 16 Jul 1886.1
