Birth*29 August 1808 Robert Loren Bassett was born on 29 August 1808 at Rutland Co., Vermont. 
CAUTION*1815 Robert Loren Bassett has the following CAUTIONARY INFORMATION: Lived in Geauga & Licking Counties and moved to Athens Co at age 7 per Pat Madson. (I've never again found Pat Madson). I suspect that it is wrong and that maybe it should be age 17 instead, especially since it's likely he is one of the people with Aaron Daniels in the 1820 census in Geauga (now Lake) county OH. That would work out better with the move by his mother to Geauga county from Licking county (father died on the move in 1816) in 1815.
