The author's grandfather, William Mason, son of Mark Mason, was one of this group. This book covers the Mason and Hart ancestry from the earliest generation of which we can be relatively certain up to the generation of William Mason and what is known of him and all his descendants, and leaves additional space in hope that the descendants of each of the others of William's generation will add information on their ancestor and his or her descendants. |
