Joseph Mason is I believe the son of John Mason, Jr. and Elizabeth Gee. Elizabeth Weatherford is the daughter of the Reverend John Weatherford and Martha P. Sublett. The Reverend John Weatherford was jailed for preaching without a license in Chesterfield County, VA. Patrick Henry helped to gain his freedom for him.

She found the same names in almost all counties including John, James, William, Henry, Thomas, Samuel, Ann and Mary. She followed these names and only a Charles disappeared from her search. She states that he probably went to Barbados. There was some connection between some Farmers and Barbados according to her book. She does not know if these Farmers are related to the line that the book is mainly about. This book is in the Bedford Public Library. Tim Witt
