Stephens,Gordan,Lydia,&GoldenLA>AR>TX>AL
Not sure about when or if they lived in mentioned states.Lydia Stephens married William Robert Mason.The Mason family lived near the LA/AR border.Robert's mother from LA, but we have no maiden name for her.(Please see last paragraph.)
1900 Census Arkansas, Union County, (next the name Jackson Iwp or Twp is written – can’t make out the description of the blank on which this is written.
MASON, William P.; born Alabama, April 1849, age 52 head of household (husband’s ggf)
MASON, Georgia; born Louisiana, April 1858, age 42 wife (husband’s ggm)
MASON, Robert; born Louisiana, September 1876, age 42 son (my husband’s grandfather)
MASON, George W.; born Texas, November 1877, age 23 son
MASON, John W.; born Louisiana, May 1879, age 21 son
MASON, Lucius W.; born Louisiana, Nov 1880, age 19 son
MASON, Noel W.; born Arkansas, July 1882, age 17 son
MASON, Charles W.; born Texas, Mar 1884, age 16 son
> twins
MASON, Winnie L.; born Texas, Mar 1884, age 16 daughter
MASON, Joseph W.; born Texas, May 1887, age 13 son
MASON, Walter B.; born Arkansas, July 1890, age 10 son
MASON, Marvin W.; born Arkansas, Mar 1892, age 8 son
MASON, Wilson K.; born Arkansas, June 1894, age 6 son
MASON, Henry W.; born Arkansas, April 1896, age 4 son
(NOTE:We know that Robert’s full name was William Robert Mason and he was called “Mr. Bob” on his job with the sawmill.They lived near the sawmill in Cargile, AR before it was destroyed by a tornado, living probably in company housing, as they did when they moved to Buhl, AL with the Pioneer Lumber Company or the Sipsey Valley Lumber Company [I’ll have to find out which name was first].William Robert married Lydia Stephens (she was called Lidi as in “Lie-di”).She was perhaps the daughter of a Gordan Stephens who had a brother named Golden Stephens.We also know that W. Robert was still in Cargile, AR around 1924 from a Masonic certificate.W. Robert and Lydia are both buried here in Buhl.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
