John Henderson Mason's parents have large sandstone markers at Pisgah. Their markers read; Joseph Mason died November 19, 1834, aged 77 years, 1 mo., & 29 days; Jane wife of Joseph Mason died November 3, 1823 aged 60 years & 8 months. I took pictures of their monuments, if you would like to have copies I will send off the negatives. John Henderson also has two brothers buried here, Joseph Mason, Jr. (1793-1874) and Henderson Mason (1800-1850).
Joseph Mason, Sr. (1757-1834) served in the Revolutionary War as a private and a sergeant during the years 1776-1781. He applied for a Revolutionary Pension on 16 October 1832 as a resident of Breckinridge County, age 75 years, pension record #so 30562Va. He appears on a Military Pension list dated 1835. I found a copy of a DAR application on the Joseph Mason line made by Maud Mason Lang, a granddaughter of Christopher Jackson Mason and great-granddaughter of John Henderson Mason, I have sent a copy of this page. It would be possible to obtain Joseph Mason's pension record from the National Achieves and DAR papers of those who have joined on that line (listing and proving their line of descent from Joseph Mason) will be provided upon request and a small fee.
At the Breckinridge County Courthouse I found proof that Joseph Mason's wife was Jane Henderson. Jane's father Samuel Henderson died and left land in Franklin County, Virginia. In Deed Book A. page 493, is a legal document transferring Power of Attorney recorded 15 October 1809 whereby "Joseph Mason and Jane, his wife, late Jane Henderson, of Breckinridge County, Ky." appointed "Samuel Mason their lawful attorney, to ask and receive what they are entitled to from the estate of Samuel Henderson, deceased, who died Franklin County, Va."
