Here's a refresher for all you Mason researchers This is directly lifted from Charles Brashear's Vol 2: Robert C. Brashear of North Carolina and Descendants in TN, KY, MO, TX, etc.published 1999 Page. 80 Family of RSB and Pheobe Children of Robert Samuel Brashears and Phoebe Nicks, all but the last two born in present-day Guilford Co, NC (ref: RSB's Bible and Will; Division of estate of Quinton Nicks); 1.

Until about 1809, he is in Roane Co., TN, with RSB. 2.Margaret Brashears, b. 27 Feb 1758. In Bible, but not in Will.

Olive, AR. Dale Hanks has also investigated this but no one seems to have discovered documented truth in the matter. I await further discovery of any links. Thanks. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE Pauline Harris Schwarz Dec 17, 2010 08:25:51 AM, arizard@rootsweb.com wrote: Harold, I'm sorry, I'm not informed about this I just think it is very fascinating that someone has come out with the info that Alexander Mason married Mary Mason who apparently was a first cousin. And that the same people think that this Mary Mason Mason was sister to Leticia Mason Haggard and that the two were daughters of Daniel Mason who eventually ended up in Greene County, MO. I had previously noticed that there was a J A Mason in Howard Co., MO in 1830, where my Brashear clan landed about 1837. When List-Mom Jean had pointed out that she believed her Jeffery/Mason connection to have been to Daniel Mason who was married to Polly Brashear, it all set me thinking and trying to check. Maybe we will get to bottom on these families sometime!
