Brenda Mason Campos Aurora,Colorado>> Hi Brenda, I have only one Mason that eventually lived in Person County, which is adjacent to Orange County, a John Mason who married Prisilla Wells(Wills) in Granville County, then moved to Person. There are several Masons in Person County at the time that mine arrived there, including another John Mason. One of them was a Charles Mason who acted or was clerk of court for the county at one time. This was in the very early 1800's. You might want to check that counties U. S. GenWeb site to see if anyone has posted any data there. You could also post your own inquirey there, which could result in some success. Good luck, John Fox Winston-Salem, NC
