Random thoughts on your search

1. All of New Zealand message boards
http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.oceania.newzealand/mb....

This board has 70+ MASON items
http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.oceania.newzealand.gen...

2. I found no items for Mahaska surname. Not having Hemi's surname on New Zealand message boards is a lost opportunity.

3. If you can find the "best fit" among the NZ message boards for George & Hemi, I strongly suggest one good pedigree message showing George & Hemi and all six of their children including the stillborm with complete names, dates, localities. -- Board Admin

George Mason (m. abt 1838) Hemi Watikini Mahaka (Banks Pensula NZ)

hannahmason1995 — 2012-05-16 22:50:29Z

I am looking for the grandchildren of this couple who married around 1838(my Great, Great, Great, Great grandparents) who lived in Banks Peninsula. They had 6 sons, 1st died and birth.
George came from London and Hemi was a local at Little River. They met when George was captured along with his friend John Fluerty, they landed at Kapiti Island whaling station on Christmas Day 1837 from Sydney, Australia - where they stayed briefly in Te Rauparaha's stronghold, later sailing to Port Chalmers and lastly to Akaroa arriving 4 Jan 1838

I have the names of the sons, but would like to get deeper and get the names of their children, husbands/wifes, last names and etc.

Anything would be a great help

Thanks Hannah

Charles Edward Mason Jr (m. )Josephine Root , Claremont, NH

2012-05-16 12:58:53Z

I have a charles Edward mason Jr. Son of Charles Edward Sr.

Jr was born in 1872 NH, married to Josephine Root
Sr. was born in 1841 NH married to Catherine Sweeney.

The missing link is Charles Sr.'s father. The census's state that both his mother and father came from NH. How accurate that is unknown to me.

Any possible link?

I have the children to both as well, if that helps.

I have that Nathan Mason who married Elizabeth Wood died 6 Mar 1804 in Fort Ann and that Elizabeth died 22 March 1812 in NY....NOT that they died on the same day.

...My line is:

Andrew Mason (m1 1816 IN) Clara Casey (m2 1820 KY) Susanna L. Laswell (1820 Crawford co. IN)> IN / KY / PA ?

jrljones — 2012-05-06 02:34:58Z

There was an Andrew Mason living in Crawford County, Indiana in 1820. He had married Clara Casey in 1816 and I believe either her or Susanna L. Laswell, the wife he married in Kentucky in 1820 was the mother of my great great great grandmother, Mary Mason, who married Thomas Fowler in Crawford County, Indiana in 1837. She was born abt. 1819. The reason I believe this is becaise he is the only Mason living in Crawford County in the 1820 census. You may also look at the 1830 census. Good Luck and GPBWY.

Andrew Mason & wives -- decendants IN > AR > TX

I am interested in any info on an Andrew Mason who was married first to an unknown had a son named Stephen D. Mason b. 1818/1819 Indiana (who married Sarah "Sally" Buckley, He had previously been married to Elizabeth Rupert). I show that Andrew Mason was married to Malissa Whiteley. Their son, Stephen D. Mason had a son, Warren Lewis Mason b. 20 Spt 1858 IN d 17 Sep 1948 Foreman, Little River Co, AR. Warren's mother, Sarah Mason is shown later in AR with a daughter, Cenia Mason b. 1864 in IN). In Stephen D. Mason's first marriage to Elizabeth Rupert, they had children Thomas E. Mason b. Apr 1860, Phennie Mason (who married a Mr. Goble sp?), and another daughter who married a Mr. Martin. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? I am a descendant of Warren Lewis Mason and have hit a brick wall. Anyone with info please email me at bccorey50@yahoo.com

Re: Peter Mason (m. VT NH) Abigail Weed; Peter Mason & Fanny Blood; Charles F. Mason

heather10561 — 2012-05-04 00:25:59Z

I am trying to find information on my Great Great Great Grandfather, Charles F. Mason (1840-1892) who lived in Claremont NH. Based on other information I've gathered via family and Ancestry.com (death certificate, marriage certificate and census records), I know the following;

Charles F. Mason
• born 27 Apr 1841 in either Claremont NH or Croyden NH
• married Catherine Sweeny (1841 Ireland - 1910 Claremont) on 01 Feb 1863 in Claremont NH
• died 27 Apr 1892 in Claremont NH
• father's name: Peter Mason
• mother's name: "Fanny" Blood
I cannot find any census records from 1950 or 1860 with Peter and Fanny Mason with son Charles. But I did find 1850 and 1860 census records for Claremont NH where I think my Charles resided at the Jarvis Farm, in Russell Jarvis and his mother Clarisa's home. Charles would’ve been 9 and 19. There were no other Mason's living at this residence. Charles is not listed as a servant or worker so I am trying to uncover if this was him, WHY he was there.

I am also trying to find out more information about his parents, Peter Mason and Fanny Blood. Were they from NH also? Were they married? Did they have other children?

Any info would be greatly appreciated on Charles Mason or his parents Peter and "Fanny" (Blood) Mason

1860 Carlisle, IN/ W.C. Mason Meth Minister, wife Amanda

clddbd — 2012-05-02 23:47:36Z

Hi. In looking at the 1860 Census from Carlisle, Indiana there is what appears to be the name W.C. Mason, wife Amanda and 1 yo son Augustus. There are also twin boys living with them named William J. and Henry B Davis age 17. They are the sons of my GGG grandfather John Wesley Davis who was Speaker of the House of Representatives, Commissioner to CHina, etc. He died in 1859 as did his wife Ann Hoover Davis. I am trying to figure out if the Mason's are relatives who took the boys in or friends or just what happened. There were many sibs and I don't have these people listed. Anyone who can help, your info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello I am looking for great grandfather Thomas Mason. We believe born in Phila? My mother never knew anything about her grandfather. Some notes show he might have been born in Philadelphia, Thomas married Clara Elizabeth Grube b 2-4-1862. perhaps around 1882. Clara ia from from a well known family in Chester County and goes by Clara, Elizabeth and sometimes Lizzie. I cannot find Thomas and Elizabeth's marriage certificate or any record of them living together. IN 1900 census Elizabeth is back living with her widowed mother Mary Boyer Grube in Honeybrook PA with 5 of her six children children. Daisy Louisa Mason her eldest is living with Clara Elizabeth sister Margaret Louisa Yost in Parkesburg, PA . The children living with their mother Elizabeth and her widowed mother Mary are Thoams W b 8-21-1885, Anna Mary b 8-26-1887 Frnalin Joseph b 2-16-1889 and George P b 9-22-1891.. Do you have information on any of these Mason;s . I really want to find Thomas and find out what happened to him. ..

FIRST GENERATION

1. Abigail** SEARY -C (6GP).

She was married to Richard** MASON -C (6GP) (son of John** MASON -C (7GP) and Mary** HOBBS -C (7GP) ) on May 26, 1697 in Abington MM. Richard** MASON -C (6GP) was living in Dublin Twp., Phila. Co., Pa.. He immigrated. From "Passengers and Ships prior to 1684, Penns colony Vol I by Sheppard pub
1974" foot note page 51, John Mason from Farrington Monthly Meeting ,
Berkshire, his wife Mary and three sons John, Robert, and Richard Mason ,
came with certificate of removal from the meeting dated 27 2m 1682. Meyers,
Quaker arrivals, He died before 2 6m 1683, when administration on his estate
was recorded in Philadelphia; it was the first such entered in Philadelphia
records.
Records of both son, John, Robert and Richard exist. John thought to be
husband of Rose Mason who married George Dalrymple. Believe same George who
showed up in Berkley Co S.C obtaining land grant about 1760 near my John
Mason. I have never been able to prove connection to Philadelphia/Berkshire
Masons but I have tried. Hope that this helps. What is your connection or
interest in these Masons. I do have other records on family which obtained
by researcher in Berkshire. Appears probable that John may have had brother
Richard who was also granted land in William Penn's Colony. Regards.

Joshua Mason (1823-1891) of Cambell Co., VA / "Mason Cemetery #4" aka "Gray Cemetery #2" Christian Co., KY

webdotstudio — 2012-04-26 19:32:19Z

Just an update on my Research into Joshua. I still haven't found any reference to siblings or parents. However, I did manage to locate a local undertaker's record (Waller & Trice in Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky) that indicated his dates (15 Jul 1823 - 7 May 1891. Also this record indicated he was buried at "Mason Cemetery #4". Though this cemetery isn't located on any map, and had been lost, yesterday my Father and I set off on a little adventure and searched the broad area indicated as the location of the Cemtery. We did indeed find a cemetery (GPS +36° 50' 39.21", -87° 21' 55.75"), and referencing the surrounding graves linked with local historical records confirmed that it was Mason Cemetery #4 (Also known as Gray Cemetery #2). So while there is no engraved headstone for Joshua Mason, he is indeed buried there; likely marked by one of two fieldstone markers we found. I have added the marked graves and cemetery to the Find-A-Grave Website:

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GScid=2...;

Again any information at all that anyone might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.

Joshua Mason (1823-1891) (m1) Martha J Stanley (1823– abt. 1856), (m2) Elizabeth Tucker (1826-1915) VA>KY

webdotstudio — 2012-04-26 19:30:34Z

I’ve been doing research on Joshua Mason (b.1827 in Campbell County, Virginia / d. Sometime After 1878 [eldest child’s birth]).

He lived in Appomattox, Va. Around 1850 with his 1st wife Martha J Stanley (b. 1823 – abt 1856). They had four children: son John William (1851-1820), daughter Virginia C (1855-?), son Thomas Franklin (1856-1936), and Arilla (1847-Before 1860) who appears to have died in her youth since she disappears from all census records.

Around 1856 Joshua and three children moved to Christian County, Kentucky where in 1862 he married Elizabeth Tucker (1826-1915) – not to be confused with Eliza Jane Tucker (1855-?), who was the illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Tucker before she met Joshua Mason.

Elizabeth and Joshua had four children: son Edward W (1863-1933), daughter Lea H (1865-?), son George W (1867-1920), and son Lindsey (1878).

I have a 1863 Civil War Draft Registration Record for Joshua (Class 2, 2nd Congressional District, Christian County, Kentucky). However, I’m not sure if he ever served or not as he was about 36 at the time.

I loose track of Joshua after the draft registration though, and can’t seem to find any more information about him.

Joshua Mason is my 3rd Great Grandfather, and I’d love to get more information about him if anyone has any leads. I would like to discover who his parents were especially since that’s information I haven’t uncovered yet, and tracing my direct paternal lineage heads a dead end at him because of that.
