By Edna Warren Mason 

This extensive publication provides eleven generations of descendants of Captain Hugh Mason in America. Hugh Mason, a tanner, with his wife Hester, emigrated from Ipswich, England to Watertown, Massachusetts, in the spring of 1634. He was ages 28 and she was 22. There were several Mason families among the earliest settlers of New England. He was admitted freeman in March 1634/5 and held various town offices, including that of selectman, which he held for twenty-nine years. He was a deputy to the General Court ten years, and was captain from 1652 until his death in Oct. 1678. This was a large and well known New England family.
