The first member of the Basker family immigrated to Boston, United States of America (USA) before the birth of Joseph Basker in 1792. Joseph Basker’s unnamed father was a solider with the 32nd Regiment and was stationed in Windsor, Nova Scotia, so the family settled there until the father’s death. Joseph Basker returned to the USA for a time before settling in the Gut of Canso, Nova Scotia with his mother. At the age of 22 he petitioned for a 200-acre lot along the south east branch of the Mabou River in Cape Breton and the family settled in what would become Mull River, Nova Scotia. The Baskers farmed in Mull River for over 150 years.
