From the National Conservation Training Center Cultural history (http://training.fws.gov/history/virtualexhibits/nctcculturalhistory/Timeline1809.html):

'1869: RiverView Farm, now down to 152 acres, was sold. Thornton W Mason and wife Ellen paid $660 to James Markell, and also had to pay off two other bonds of $1231 and $1891 held by a trustee E. J. Lee, suggesting a foreclosure was at least imminent (JCDB 4 - 1869-70, p. 231). The 1870 census shows the Mason household at RiverView Farm with 9 children, and a 10-year- old mulatto day laborer named James Brown. Continuing the tradition of many previous owners of RiverView farm in the 19th century, Thornton died within a couple of years of acquiring the property.'
