I am interested in information regarding the family of William & Huldah
(Almon) Mason. They are shown in the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census of Pike
County in the Monroe Township. I believe my line descends from their son
John. He is listed as buried in Blackfoot Cemetery. In 1860 he is shown
with wife Mary, daughter Huldy E., and sons Wm. T. and George. If this is
the correct family, I descend from a son born in 1865 named Burl.
Is there any likelihood that birth records would be available this early in
Pike County?
Family tradition has it that the family was from Clay Bank, Indiana. Is
there a settlement in Pike County by this name?
Any information regarding this family would be greatly appreciated. I would
also be interested in the names of any local history books which include
Mason family history.
Thank you.
