Notes:
* After the death of his wife Nancy Watson Mason, Reverend Reuben Mason married a
widow - Matilda Ray and they had children: Eliza, Margaret Harriet, Isadora, and William.
* Reuben Mason's father John Mason was a Methodist Minister. From Sara Bolick
(probably about 1980): "In 1786, as a member of the Virginia Methodist Conference, he
[Rev. John Mason] was sent to do Mission work on the Broad River Circuit, an area
encompassing seven counties in South Carolina. In Fairfield District, he bought 400 acres
of land and established a home at the crossing of Monticello and Glenn's Bridge roads.
His church, Bethel, was four miles away on Little River; he gave ten acres of land to
rebuild the church on its second site and it was spoken of as Mason's MeetingHouse or
Mason's Old Bethel."
