Talk:Thomson Francis Mason

more work needed
I added some information about his slaveholdings, but the local history libraries are closed today, and I cannot find his entry in the 1830 federal census.Jweaver28 (talk) 20:41, 19 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Complicating matters, one locally published source, Lost Alexandria by William Jay Roberts (2017) incorrectly states that this man also served as Alexandria's mayor in the 1840s, contrary to the official list of mayors I cited. The final report of the 2012 architectural excavation of Colross incorrectly states that the previous owner, Jonathan Swift, a well-connected merchant who called the residence "Belle Aire" and died in 1824 was led Alexandria's city council in 1822-1823 in addition to representing the 4th ward; the official volume names the mayor that year as Christophe Neale. That volume also incorrectly spells this Mason's first name as "Thomsen".Jweaver28 (talk) 22:36, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
