¶0 In the late 1700s, the Mason family was living in the area of Virginia near the point where the counties of Campbell, Charlotte and Halifax meet, along Falling River. It appears that JOHN MASON who lived in this area at that time was the earliest ancestor of this family who has been traced. There were a number of individuals named JOHN MASON living in this area at that time, and it is unclear which one was JOHN1 MASON traced below.
JOHN1 MASON may have been the son of PETER MASON, who acknowledged his deed to his son JOHN MASON on 9 Sept 1737. (Caroline Co. VA Order Book 1737-1740, page 445) PETER MASON died about 1747, leaving land to JOHN MASON, his heir at law, who was summoned to court in connection with PETER MASON's last will and testament on 10 Apr 1747. (Caroline Co. VA Order Book 1746-1754, page 33)
Another possibility is that JOHN1 MASON was a son of WILLIAM MASON. On 9 Nov 1750, JOHN MASON was appointed the guardian of JOHN and ANN MASON, orphans of WILLIAM MASON, in connection with which ELIZABETH MASON, widow of WILLIAM MASON, was summoned to court. (Caroline Co. VA Order Book 1746-1754, page 239)
It is also possible that JOHN1 MASON was a descendant of JOHN MASON who settled in the Back Creek area of Roanoke about 1750 (Kegley's Virginia Frontier, by F.B. Kegley, page 553) and died in 1760, leaving sons JOHN MASON, Jr., WILLIAM MASON, and JAMES MASON, three daughters, his mother and his brother-in-law. (Augusta Co. VA Will Book 3, page 52, will proved 18 Aug 1761) It is known that GEORGE and MARY ALEXANDER were orphans bound to JOHN MASON in November 1751. (Augusta Parish Vestry Book, pages 84 and 85) JOHN MASON, Jr. died in 1761, (Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia, by Lyman Chalkley, Vol I, pages 94 and 101) leaving orphans including JAMES MASON.
To add to the confusion, there was a second JOHN MASON family living along Troublesome Creek in Campbell Co. VA at the same time as the family of JOHN1 MASON lived along Falling River. (See 1795 will of a John Mason from the other family, Campbell Co. VA Will Book 1, page 291.) Martin Mason, another researcher descended from the Troublesome Creek Masons, has determined with a fair degree of probability that they were descended from a German who emigrated to Fayette County Pennsylvania with the name JOHANNES MŽURER, which translates to JOHN MASON.
There may also be other possible individuals named JOHN MASON who could be JOHN1 MASON. The best that can be said is that the ancestry of JOHN1 MASON has not yet been proved. This account begins with JOHN1 MASON and traces his descendants.
¶1 JOHN1 MASON, who died in 1796, appears to be the ancestor of the generations traced herein. He left a will dated 24 Mar 1796 and proved 6 Oct 1796. (Campbell Co. VA Will Book 1, pages 309-310) The will left one third of his estate to "JESSE MASON son of my son JOHN MASON" who was also made executor of the will. The other two thirds of the estate was left to THOMAS ALEXANDER, whose relationship has not been identified. However, note GEORGE and MARY ALEXANDER mentioned above. The witnesses to the will were CHARLES COBBS, SR. and JAMES H. COBBS. CHARLES COBBS was apparently pastor of the Falling River Baptist Church at the time. (Compendium of Falling River Baptist Church History, by Vaden W. Mason, page 42) This church is located in the southeast corner of Campbell County. The wife of JOHN1 MASON has not been identified.
His son was

¶2 JOHN2 MASON (JOHN1) appears to be the same JOHN MASON who died about 1807 in Campbell Co. VA. In the account of the settlement of his estate (Campbell Co. VA Will Book 3, pages 151-152) recorded on 10 Feb 1812 is an indication that his children included sons JESSE MASON, JOHN MASON, JOSEPH MASON, ABNER MASON, CLAIBORNE MASON, and PHILIP MASON. This JESSE MASON, who may have been the oldest son, could be the same JESSE MASON, son of JOHN MASON, who was mentioned in the will of JOHN1 MASON. In another part of the account (Campbell Co. VA Will Book 2, pages 445-448) dated 10 Feb 1810 is an indication that, at that time, all of the heirs were of age. In another part of the account (Campbell Co. VA Will Book 2, pages 420-424) dated October 1809 is an indication that, at that time, there were ten distributees of the intestate JOHN MASON. Since FRANCES MASON, widow and administratrix of JOHN MASON, was one of the distributees of the estate, it would appear that there were nine children of JOHN MASON living in 1809, all of whom were of age in February 1810. Allowing an average of two years between children, it would appear that JOHN2 MASON was married to the mother of his older children by 1773 and that he was married to the mother of his younger children by 1789. It is possible that he was married only twice, or he may have been married several times. The marriage of JOHN MASON, widower, to FRANCES BROOKS, widow, in Sept 1794 by bond dated 26 Sept 1794 is recorded in Campbell Co. VA records. Mrs. Sublett seems to suggest that FRANCES BROOKS was a daughter of FANNIE and THOMAS J. McDEARMON. The marriage of JOHN MASON and FRANCES BROOKS was performed by CHARLES COBBS, pastor of Falling River Baptist Church. It is clear from the date of his marriage to FRANCES BROOKS that she was not the mother of any of his children, although she survived him and was administratrix of his estate.
The children of JOHN2 MASON who have been identified are

¶8 JOSEPH H.3 MASON (JOHN2, JOHN1) married on 30 Dec 1803 ELIZABETH WEATHERFORD in Charlotte Co. VA. He died about 1854 in Charlotte Co. (Charlotte Co VA WB 12 pp 189-191) Surety for marriage was JOHN W. WEATHERFORD, her brother. She was a daughter of JOHN WEATHERFORD, a Baptist preacher, and MARTHA "PATSY" SUBLETT, a daughter of WILLIAM and SUSANNA (ALLEN) SUBLETT. JOHN WEATHERFORD, son of Major WEATHERFORD, was born about 1740-1743, probably in Hanover Co. VA, and died 23 Feb 1833 in Pittsylvania Co. VA. He spent five months in jail in 1773 in Chesterfield Co. VA for preaching without a license and was released because of the intervention of PATRICK HENRY. PATSY was born about 1752, was living in 1829 and probably died about 1841 in Pittsylvania Co. VA. See The Soblett (Sublet) Family of Manakintown by Cameron Allen, Detroit Society for Genealogical Research (1994).

¶11 PHILIP B.3 MASON (JOHN2, JOHN1) married ELIZABETH (BETSEY) HOLT, daughter of JAMES and ELENOR (or ELLENDER) HOLT, by Campbell Co. VA marriage bond dated 10 Jan 1810. BETSEY appears to have been the mother of JOHN BAXTER4 MASON listed below, who was born in 1811. By 1832, BETSEY was dead and he was married to NANCY HOLT, another daughter of JAMES HOLT (See Campbell Co VA DB 21, page 62+, estate-settlement indenture dated 15 Oct 1836), who was his widow at his death in 1840. ADELIA E.4 MASON, listed below, was the daughter of NANCY MASON
JAMES HOLT, the father of BETSEY and of NANCY, was one of the children of PLUNKET and ANN HOLT of Prince Edward Co. VA. (See an estate-settlement indenture dated 14 Oct 1801 at Prince Edward Co. VA DB 12, page 198.) It seems that this was PLUNKET HOLT, Jr, born about 1715 in Old Rappahannock Co. VA, son of PLUNKET HOLT, Sr and his wife ELIZABETH. PLUNKET HOLT, Sr was born in 1689, probably in Essex Co. VA, son of RICHARD HOLT and his wife MARGARET.

VA, and much of the information about him is found in the Compendium of Falling River Baptist Church History cited above, pages 44-45. JOHN BAXTER MASON was born in 1811 and died in 1883. He was married three times. He married (1st) BEHETHELEM (or BEHETHERLAND) JANE HOLT on 1 Feb 1834 in Charlotte Co. VA. (Charlotte Co. VA Marriage Register 1, page 63) The marriage was performed by Rev. ELIJAH W. ROACH, pastor of the Falling River Baptist Church. WILLIAM HOLT was listed on the marriage bond as surety and as giving consent to the marriage, indicating that he may have been the father of the bride. If WILLIAM HOLT was the father of the bride, his wife ELIZABETH BAILEY, daughter of MARGARET BAILEY would have been mother of the bride. JOHN BAXTER MASON married (2nd) MARSHALL (MARSHA) PUGH, who died in 1862. He married (3rd) NANCY MASON, a widow, the daughter of JOSEPH H.

POSTSCRIPT
This genealogical compilation grew out of a family reunion of some of the descendants of JAMES ROBERT5 MASON and his wife EMMA CLAY WALTON, held at Lynchburg, VA in mid-November 1979. I was asked to write up what was known of the Mason family, and those present agreed to provide further information about the current generations. More information became available, and it gradually expanded to include some of the other descendants of JOHN BAXTER4 MASON, father of JAMES ROBERT5 MASON.
I acknowledge with appreciation the efforts of many family members to provide much of the information which is included in this brief compilation. However, this work is not complete. I am certain that much more information could be found if the time were available to search for it. Regard this as an introduction to the subject rather than the final word.
Note that this compilation includes ten generations of the Mason family, from ¶1 JOHN1 MASON who died in 1796 to ¶262 (in 1980 version, ¶824 in 1997 version) LARA KATHRYN10 MASON (AUBREY LEE9, AUBREY LEONIDAS8, WALTER GORDON7 LEONIDAS BENDRIDGE6, WILLIAM5, JOHN BAXTER4, PHILIP B.3, JOHN2, JOHN1) who was born 1 Nov 1976 in Lynchburg, VA.

SECOND POSTSCRIPT
There was another Mason family reunion in September 1996, when I was requested to provide an updated copy of this book, originally entitled The Family of John Baxter Mason (1811-1883) of Campbell County Virginia. The expansion of the scope of the book in this version resulted in change of the title.
Since the first version of this book was written, I have obtained a copy of the genealogy notes on the Mason family compiled by Della Effrie Mason Sublett (1895 - 1985). I received these notes via several intermediate parties after her death, so I was never able to ask her about ambiguous portions of her notes. My best interpretation of the notes has been used to expand the original book, together with additional material provided to me by my mother's cousins, for whom the original book was compiled
I have also included additional information collected by Joan Ifland, now of Mountain Home, Arkansas. (See ¶285.)
