Hi Cindy,
MASON is a surname of 1830 Amherst Co., Va., I.D.’d by Haithcock as Native which I can take back to 1810 Albermarle Co., Va. Can’t determine where they came from before that due to record gaps in Virginia. I’ve seen pictures of these people and can say without reservation they are Native.

cindy,
i will check with a mason relative and see if she has anything on your bennett mason or mary mason sinkey.
i believe linda is going to post a photo of one of our masons.

When I get back from China in August and can unpack things a bit, I can have Linda post a picture of Mary Mason Sinkey. Deb sent them to me, so I can send them. She sent me a picture of the brother of her husband, Eldad Sinkey too. He could be a twin to the picture of the “last living” Tutelo in Canada.

The picture of Mary that Deb sent me does not seem to appear native to me, however, some of her children certainly appear to have some native ancestry. But, since Eldad was known to say that he was “Irish and Indian,” there is reason that they would. He is the brother to my ggggrandmother. Their granddaughter remembers a picture of Mary dressed as a native though. You did some looking for me earlier, as I was told that this granddaughter wanted to find out about Bennett before it was too late. I forwarded that information. One of the really nice things that has come of all this study is that this lady received a print copy of the picture I was sent, that is, a picture of her grandparents, parent, aunts and uncles. The thank-you email I got back was touching. Thank you, Bill and Deb.

Cindy,
I didn’t think that anyone in that picture looked native really either. I would not have suspected that the Mary in that picture would wear native clothing. She looked very normal for the times. Didn’t you say that Eldad knew the dances? You can post that picture here if you want to. I lost all of them when we crashed, I’m going to have to rescan them. Those pictures are part of the “treasure” my Grandma had in that box.
Deb
Deb:
I will when I get back from China. I will email them to Linda and can email them back to you if you want.
Back in 3 weeks. Maybe sooner if we find the Internet cafes that the Lonely Planet guide says are in Bejing.
Cindy
deb, cindy, et.al.

Rob,
If you haven’t already, you might use the “search” button for TYREE, as well as your other lines – ran across TYREE in a very early posting or two, who were in your TYREE’s area.
