  • Name Pelatiah MASON  [1
    • A tradition, probably from the records gathered by a grandson of Pelatiah Mason, says that he married a second, third and fourth wife and lived with the last wife for twenty-one years. There appears to be no recorded proof of any but the first marriage and the conveyances by Pelatiah mason recorded after the death of his wife Hepsibeth, make no mention of a wife nor is there any release of dower. he was a tanner and shoemaker by trade and his homestead was on the highway leading from the Great Bridge - now known as Myles Bridge - to Mattapoisett, now Gardner's Neck in Swansea. He make no will, having distributed his real estate among his sons some years prior to his death. April 28, 1724, he conveyed to his eldest son, Job Mason, a lot of forty acres of land probably adjoining his own homestead. August 31, 1747, he conveyed to his sons Job, Russell, and John, several lots of land for love and small sums of money and it is probable that these lots included all his read estate. He held several minor town office in Swansea and appears to have been an active member of the Second Church. [1]
