      Letter from her father:- Oct 26, 1791
      http://www.archive.org/stream/legacytomychildr00maso/legacytomychildr00maso_djvu.txt
      P. S. ? The following letter addressed to Samuel Hoard, the husband of Phebe Mason, his daughter, at Lynchburg, is given as a relic of my great grandfather, Russell Mason. ? P. M. " SWANSEY, Oct. 26, 1791. " These lines leave me well, and I hope they will find you so. I heard that you was about to move to the Mohog (Mohawk) River, and that you did not expect to come to see us before you moved, and I said I did not expect to see Phebe any more ; and, if you do go, I wish you well, aud hope to see you in the next world, where there will be no moving; no, not from Abraham's bosom to this world, 'nor to where rich gluttons must go. Therefore, my children, I advise you to consider and remember your latter end, and make sure an interest in Christ, and wherever you live or die it will be well with you ; and if you live in the fear of God, and die in his favor, you will be blessed. So, no more; but only tell you that your friends and relations are well, and we send our love to you. I am very lame, but I can walk with a stalf and crutch. " October 29, 1779, then my wife died, which was the mother of all the above named children. We lived together forty- two years, ten months, and three days 'A little span, 'tis soon cut off, and then away we fly.' " From aged father, RUSSELL MASON "P. S. ? This record of his family, furnished by 11. M. with this letter. JOHIST SAYLES.^' Note. ? I received from my cousin, Scott Wilmarth, a similar copy of the foregoing letter, which, he states, was copied from the original letter, now in the hands of the granddaughter of the said Phebe Hoard. Her name is Phebe Downey, now living near Sharon, Walworth County, Wisconsin. The two copies agree verbatim. I also received the following memorandum from my Aunt, Rhoda, in the fall of 1854, at her residence. She was a woman of strong mind, and well versed in her grandfather's family history. She stated that the Rev. Russell Mason, her grandfather, had been married twice. By the second wife he had one daughter, named Content; and that he died in Swansey, where he had spent his long life. He was pastor of the Second Baptist Church for over 40 years. The Compiler, " PHILIP MASON.
