I am looking for all the information I can get on Nathaniel Mason. It is suggested that he may have been a son of George Mason but it has never been proven one way or another.

I have the following information about Nathaniel Mason.

"Daniel and Nathaniel Mason who were probably brothers, were the first of that name in Roane County. Their relationship to Col. George Mason has not been proven, but according to Goodspeed's History of East Tennessee "Daniel (1770?80??1839) came to Fort South West Point as a young man from the Potomac River in either VA or MD. Nathaniel Mason married (7?9?1901) Phoebe Brashears, daughter of Robert Samuel Brashears. Daniel Mason married (3?6?1797) Phoebe's sister, Mary "Polly" Brashears, who was the well?to?do young widow of Robert Gilliland who had bought in 1794 (Knox Book C, p.22) 640 acres on the north side of Clinch River from Reed and Swaggerty."

...and.....

Nathaniel Mason & Phoebe Brashear. Nathaniel b 1769 VA, he married Phoebe Brashear during 1801 in Knox Co, TN. Nathaniel in 1805 Early Tennessee Census Knox Co., 1811 perhaps in Lawrence Co, TN. 1830 lived in Shelby Co, TN. Son Jesse H Mason b 1802 m Polly Ruth; son Alexander abt 1810; daughter Margaret m George Speer; daughter Elizabeth m John Speer.

Again I am looking for any information about where Nathaniel Mason came from. Also looking for family of Nathaniel's children except for Jesse H. Mason.

Thanks, Chris
