My gg=grandmother was Julia Colvin Lewis, from Greenup county KY. I am working on the hypothesis that Julia's parents were Esther Mason (born 1801 PA) and Solomon Colvin, married in Adams County OH, which is just across the river (adjacent to Greenup) I am interested in checking out a possible connection as Esther Colvin had a daughter named Patience. The coincidence appears to bear investigation as the Mason family are hard to spot in Adams County. There are several Masons listed in the 1850 and 1860 Adams county census, one with an aged mother Mary A Mason ( b 1778 PA). Do you have any further info on Patience Mason's nuclear family, siblings, burial locations, etc? Thanks a lot!
