Genealogy of the Sampson Mason Family by Alverdo Hayward Mason 1902.
Nathaniel Mason born in Swansea, Mass., Oct 9, 1724; married first, March 29, 1747, Deborah Boomer. She was born about 1723 and died May 4, 1763.
Nathaniel Mason married second, September 22, 1763, Lydia Martin, daughter of Daniel and Tabitha Martin. She was born in Swansea, MAss., March 11, 1727. Nathaniel Mason was probably one of the Sackville colonists but returned to New England and settled in Adams, Mass., about 1770.
He died about 1812 and in the following year his widow, Lydia, remvoed to Greenfield, New York to live with her daughhter , Lydia. She died May 9, 1820. Children born to Nathaniel Mason and Lydia Martin were Jonathan, born Nov 19, 1766; Lydia, born Sept 17, 1769; and Benjamin who died in childhood.
It is claimed that the children of this second marriage were born in Adams, Mass., but it appears more probable that Jonathan was born in Sackville, Nova Scotia.
