Virgil Lewis and Mason County
The History of West Virginia in 2 parts, first edition was published in 1889, not 1887......I own the book, its on my shelf, BUT JUST IN CASE...THIS IS THE GOOGLE BOOK LINK.....It was published in Philidelphia, by the Hubbard Brothers......in that book, Lewis CLEARLY, states, it was George Mason that was the namesake of Mason County.....LATER, in an error, Lewis did indeed state in his 1896 book, The History and Government of West Virginia, with the help of Jim Comstock, that it was Stephan Mason, this was researched by WV Hist and Culture Div in West Virginia. It was found to be in error.....The best way to document the correct would be to cite EITHER the 1889 edition, OR The WV Culture and History link which is used repeatedly in the Mason County article.........This is a repeat....It is bet discussed on the County Talk page, and not reverting edits over and over again, with bad data and incorrect citation dates for required published works......Coal town guy (talk) 03:17, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Mason County Namesake
The 1887 date is the copyright date. How was it determined that Mr. Lewis' cite of S. T. Mason in his 1896 textbook found to be in error? Was there a definitive primary source discovered? If so, what is the primary source?--Kbgh66 (talk) 03:36, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It was published in 1889...Do you yes or no, have any pimary data...meaning, data from the Mason County archives which would prove that George Mason is NOT the namesake? If not, the issue is moot. WHY? Because I have 4 sources, that state it was George Mason..including the WV state web site........The onus is on you, not incorrect citations........Oddly, I have actually been o the phone with many WV county archives in my other WV research, I cant ever recall any one at Mason county not saying, oh yes, it was George Mason........Coal town guy (talk) 03:43, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
 * HERE is the Mason County data Bibliography as presented by the WV Division of Cultutre and History, NOTE, the Historical facts portion on the page, stating it was indeed George Mason as the namesake........Coal town guy (talk) 03:48, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
