THIS IS NOT MY LINE.
The 1930 Census shows:
Mary Ella (Whitfield) Mason with her husband, Charles C. Mason, her father-in-law, Charles W. Mason and her 79 year old father, Joel Whitfield on Alto-Hatchet Ferry Road in Precinct 2, Cherokee County, TX.
Reference:
Year: 1930
Place: Precinct 2, Cherokee, Texas
Roll: 2307
Enumeration District: 10
The 1920 Census shows:
Charlie & Ellen {sic} Mason with sons Howard and Raymond.
Reference:
Year: 1920
Place:Precinct 2, Cherokee, Texas
Roll:T625_1786
Page:7A
ED:22
This should get you started.
Charlie "owned" this property so you will probably be able to find a deed, will, etc.
If you send for the death certificates on any of these folks, you will probably find a "living" informant that is a descendant.
Also, there are only 6 "Mason" surnames listed in the white pages, in Alto, TX and I would bet that any or all are related to you. Give them a call.
Good luck!
