Talk:George Graham (soldier)

more work needed
I may be able to troubleshoot this article at the Prince William local history collection, which is open one afternoon a week, although the Fairfax sources I've consulted don't make clear which Thomson Mason served in the House of Delegates alongside Graham. While the Leonard book is generally painstaking, its index missed the generational change. George Mason's brother had died by that time, although his son of same name was alive (and would become tax collector at the Port of Alexandria as well as a Fairfax County justice), and his son (GM4's grandson) Thomson Francis Mason had just begun his legal practice in Fairfax, and had not yet moved to Alexandria. For what it's worth, Arlington Cemetery's revised its website, to reduced functionality, as has Gunston Hall. I have only been able to access the original 1975 edition of the Copeland book, The Five George Masons, and don't know if the 2016 edition is a revised edition or reprint. Also, either ancestry.com has been especially glitchy recently, or the indexing problems have resurfaced, for I haven't been able to quickly locate the 1820 census results, and I don't know whether the 1830 census was taken before his death.Jweaver28 (talk) 21:33, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
