MASON
About 25 years ago, I came across part of a letter written by a Hannah B. Mason of
Orleans County. This letter was dated somewhere around the Civil War as it was signed
'The Union Forever', and the letter is of a religious context. It was contained in an
old book dated 1862 of Village Sermons. The book, however, was inscribed to someone else.
I am interested in finding a descendant of this Hannah B. Mason. I have some information
from a pioneer history book that indicates she may be the Hannah Mason who was married to
a Jesse Mason.
