See notes of wife.

Joseph Mason and his eldest son, killed at Brookfield and Mrs. Mason and child taken captive and recovered were said to have been settled in the Woolcot neighborhood. No definite land grants have been located in the Proprietors Book for Brookfield, but several references to the Masons are made in descriptions of other land grants. On Nov. 22, 1715, reference is made to a bridge at "Mason's Point" on the Quaboag River (59). Mason's Brook is an affluent of the Quaboag River south of Brookfield center. "Mason's Point" is again mentioned in a mill gtrant in 1734 (60). In 1698, the Joseph Mason estate was sold to Samuel Davis (61). Source: East Brookfield History: 1686-1970 by Louis E.
