I'm a Texan though so alas. My 7 times Great Grandfather was a Grand Jury man and tax collector, petit jury etc. He is my notable patriot, Mark Mason, son of Ralph Mason, Cumberland County turned Nash. They were both signers of the petition to declare a new county be formed. I am still searching for the book about this area and era, called "Greenpaths" or maybe just the history of Nash County. "By Dawn's Early Light". Anyone have a copy?
