Notes about Nathan Mason

Nathan Mason was a blacksmith by trade and lived in Swansea during the greater part of his life. After 1750 however, he appears to have resided elsewhere and the birthplace of his younger children is unknown. He is buried in the old family burial lot on the north side of Swansea, near Hortonville, and the inscription upon his gravestone say that he died in his fiftieth year. This is apparently an error, due to imperfect family records and the lapse of time between his death and the erection of his gravestone, for this was probably not erected until after the death of his widow. She married (2) 30 JAN 1763, Mial Peirce. She is buried beside her first husband, Nathan Mason. The ten elder children of Nathan and Lillis (Hale) Mason were born in Swansea, and possibly some of the others but they were not recorded. It is said that there were two more daughters, Nancy who married Nathan Wood of Cheshire, MA and Phoebe (or Rhobe). All of the sons and several of the daughters settled in or near Lanesborough, Berkshire Co., MA.

Buried in the Mason-Horton cemetery - located on the east side of Hortonville Road, 300 feet north of Cummings Road, Swansea, MA with his wife Lillis Hale Mason. I photographed his headstone around 1990 in this cemetery, which was full of Masons, including a headstone for Philip Mason. -------------------- Name: Nathan Mason
