| | Capt. Hugh Mason Genealogy |
 | | I am most grateful to the Masons and Mason descendants who so quickly and interestedly replied to my queries, and particularly to those who not only sent their own data but gave me much valuable information on other lines, and countless regrets for the many letters I sent and which were not accorded a reply. |
 | | Hugh Mason, the progenitor of the family, born in England, in 1606, stands out as a most picturesque personality in the scanty records of the day, even among the strong and vigorous characters who were his associates in the colonies. |
 | | Mason and his wife are buried in the Arlington Street cemetery in Watertown, and now (1934) the stones marking their graves are in perfect condition and The Massachusetts Society of Colonial Wars has placed a marker at his grave. |
