Dear Listers, The given name MASON comes down in my family from 1728, when MASON PHILLIPS'S birth was noted in the Bristol Parish, Prince George County, VA Vestry Book. MASON appears as a first name or middle name from 1728 on down to my own generation. Mason Phillips, William Mason Phillips, Thomas Mason Phillips and a lot more. Does anyone else from Southside have MASON as a first name or middle name or is anyone descended from a MASON family? Many thanks, Mary Jane Phillips
