FAMILY
William Henry Mason is one of the oldest known
U.S. born ancestor of this Mason line. He is the son of Henry and
Elizabeth Minson. William was
born about 1770 in Virginia and died about 1840 in Fairfield County,
Ohio.
At some point, the spelling of William's surname
changed from "Minson" to "Mason". It is presumed that
the change happened after William moved to Ohio since his wife,
Prudence Truman, is buried under the name "Minson".
