I found some new info on Isham B. Mason which may or may not shed some light on him (I hope!) In The Virginia Genealogist, Book #3, by John Frederick Dorman I found this MASON info: ALBERMARLE COUNTY, VA. 1800 TAX LIST FREDERICKSVILLE PARISH, DISTRICT OF THOMAS GARTH The first number is for white males over age 21 The second number is number of horses owned The third and fourth number if given is for the number of tithable slaves aged over 16 and between 12 and 16. MASON, John - 1-2-1-0 MASON, Ewell - 1-2 MASON, Joseph - 1-0 MASON, Isham B. - 2-1-1-0 MASON, Jesse - 1-1 In 1797, Isham married Lucy Sebree in Orange Co., VA and by 1810 - his death he was in Culpeper. I am wondering if any of these MASON'S are related to him. I looked on the 1810 census for Albermarle and found Jesse and Ewell still there On Jesse Mason the only line with any info was <all other free persons except Indians not taxed> and that had a 9 in it. On Ewell MASON, it gave the following: 22210-10110-00 Can anyone else shed some light? Sally Mason Standley

Isham is a surname used as a given name. At some earlier time you will find your connection to the Isham family.
