James Mason (b. 1811 in Fauquier County, VA -d. 1865 in Fauquier)(m. 30 Apr 1834) Liona Hughett . 

Colbert Woodyard Mason and Margaret Rogers had seven children, all born in Fauquier County, Virginia.  They were as follows:
     Walter Mason (1790- ), married Nancy White
     Silas Mason (1790-1858)
     Margaret Mason (1793-1808)
     Mary Mason (1802-1845)
     Elizabeth Mason (1804-)
     William Mason (1807-), married Lucinda Adams
     James Mason (1811-1865), married Liona Hughett

     His son James Marshall Mason, born ca. 1843 in Fauquier, married Elizabeth F. Gray
     Their son, John Wesley Mason, born 1873 in Fauquier, died 1931 in Alexandria, VA, married Edna Helen Phillips
     Their son, Waverley Stover Mason, born 1895 in Fauquier, died 1925 in Alexandria, VA, married Rosie Ruth Russell
     Their son, and my father, Eugene Russell Mason, born 1920 in Alexandria, VA, died 2000 in Arlington, VA, married Minnie Marie Varnau

Speculation: Some say he is the son of Colbert Woodyard Mason and Margaret Rogers.  Colbert Woodyard Mason  (b. 1766 in Charles County, Maryland), the illegitimate son of Mary Woodyard. 

Others say he is son of William Mason, supposedly the son of George Mason III and Ann Thomson, although there is no documentation of this that I am aware of.  According to the genealogy site associated with Gunston Hall, George Mason III only had two sons, George IV of Gunston Hall, and Thomson.  So we decided to have the DNA test done to see if we could determine the validity of our possible connection with the the George Mason line.  If it shows we are not related to this line, then perhaps it will indicate who our Mason ancestors might have been.
