But God, in a few minutes, I'm going to get out of bed and from then on I'm probably going to need a lot more help. Amen MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! LUV TO ALL, Pam

    3. Oh some other known facts not posted with this posting Daniel harrison is believed to have gone to NC. I have not found a will for daniel yet. Daniel harrison is practically the only daniel forename found in the early surry co records of this time period. This daniel harrison was also in the vicinity of the masons. As shown in a posting also on the mason list one of the grandchildren had a deed record with benjamin harrison. There is also an elizabeth Harrison intermarried with the masons in another family, has some one got these Elizabeths mixed up? Please do not construe that i am suggesting that elizabeth is a harrison. These are known facts only!!!!!!!!! For some reason i just dont feel comfortable with this family being Elizabeths! Something just does not fit yet. but i cant put my finger on it. if any one can help please do so!

Aside from filling in my immediate family, I haven't been able to get any further than my gggrandfather, and even that proved challenging to get specifics. :) I have my genealogy online at my homepage, if anyone would care to take a look at the info I've already collected.

I have an ancestor, John Mason , who married my ancestress, Priscilla Wells in Granville County, NC in 1795. They only had one son, according to the rec ords that I can find, and his name was James. I am descended from their daughter, Nancy Mason, who married William Harrison Royster of Mecklenburg County, VA and Person County, NC. Knowing the proclivity of the Wells family for marrying cousins, I cannot help but believe that there may be some connection here. William Harrison Royster's mother was Frances Draper, daughter of Solomon Draper, also of Mecklenburg County, Va. , if having that name provides any additional data for comparison. John Mason whom I have thought to have been a son of a James Mason showed in the records of Granville County only briefly in the late 1700's, and knowing that Granville is just south of Surry County, Va. it seems likely that he could have dipped down into Granville County briefly, if only for land speculation. I would greatly appreciate any information which you might provide about the John Mason descendants that you posted. With best regards, John Fox Winston-Salem, NC

    3. Josie You posted a blurb about the taylor family of va and its possible heraldry in England. I noticed your subscript. I am dealing with a problem harrison family of Va that perhaps you and your daughter can help with. The elizabeth harrison of the header is a harrison of the Presidency harrison family if she is a harrison. These are the known facts. John Mason Sr. born 1693 of Mathews mount Surry co Va died sep 3 1755 married an elizabeth ?????? in two family histories with out notes and sources she is listed as a harrison. AS there are no know surename for her this is indeed possible. her known facts are these 1, Her name is elizabeth. 2. she was from the berkley, Surry co. Va area. 3. Her childrens names are John, James, Joseph, Mary, Christopher, Anne, Daniel, Isaac. DAvid, And charles. of the names found in the mason ancestry the following above names are know to exist. John, Elizabeth, isaac, James, Mary, possibly charles (a step family name) So we find that the following names would probably be tied to elizabeths family because of presence. They are Joseph, christopher, daniel, anne and david. I have looked at all the Harrison families in surry and elizabeth is a very prominent family name. but so how ever are two of the other names. These are Christopher and daniel. These masons where not quakers, they where episcopel. So the probability of them naming after bibical names is therefore remote. I am aware that Daniel Harrison Born about or in 1668 is a odd man out. I have him place in the benjamin harrison family because of taz records. He married to hannah and had as children Soloman, possibly this elizabeth and a Joseph. Can you verify this family relationship at all. A lot of the above comes from surry and sussex co Tax records?
