Dear Mary, My connection is throught William's sister Charlotte! She was my GG Grandmother. Well, I hope we do find out more about John Mason's parentage. I will email you [and to anyone else who indicates an interest in MASON] the source of what information I have, an email from another MASON researcher. Hopefully the three of us can pool our findings as time goes on. Meantime, I would love to learn of what info you have on the MASON and CASEY families.

GREAT -- I am ready to seriously work on this MASON/CASEY family -- we (CLARKSON -grandchildren (and great grandchildren) of Maria MASON CLARKSON, daughter of William F and Jane MASON) have a family picnic on the third Sunday of July(every year since 1925) here in South Dakota; although first cousins from WV often come. There are quite a few who are interested in genealogy and I would love to have some real information about the MASONs. We (my family -my Dad who is 84) have been to WV & Maryland several times. And my niece just moved to Columbus, OH so we will probably visit again this fall. Do you have those hand typed genealogies I think from the Preston County library? I would be glad to send those off to you. I understand that Sarah CASEY's father Nicholas was one of the early settlers of the area and I think he was a Revolutionary vet. I am excited about this collaboration, Mary Mary Buchholz/Dakota Wools Always FAMILY HISTORY http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/c/Mary-C-Buchholz/index.html World Family Tree http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:1864756&id=I89916161 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joaquina" <zachar@fast.net> To: <WVPRESTO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2002 4:47 AM Subject: Re: [WV Preston County] SIMPSON and MASON Families in PrestonCounty > > Dear Mary, > My connection is throught William's sister Charlotte!

Joquina, Some of the Mason's attended the Methodist Church at Beech Run, Preston Co. WV. Elisha Mason was one. I remember seeing two other Mason names. Which Mason names are you interested in finding. Rosalie
