Joseph’s wife “C.” seems to be a second wife. She is
the wrong age and has the wrong birth place to be Phebe. Apparently, Phebe (Brumley)
Mason is deceased. Samuel P. Mason is the only child of Joseph J.M. Mason and
Phebe.
Joseph J. M. Mason died between 11 November 1860. His death date is recorded in his probate packet in Marion County, Texas.
His death was also reported by Jefferson Masonic Lodge No. 38 before the proceedings of the M.W. Grand Lodge of Texas at its 25th annual convention held at the city of Houston, commencing on the second Monday in June A.D. 1861. At that time a list of deaths was reported by the several lodges in their annual returns to 27 Dec. 1860.

1862, Marion Co., TX: Mrs. C. Mason paid taxes on two
acres of land in Thos. Gillespie [O.G.]
By 1870, Samuel P. Mason was living in the Brumley's - relatives on his mother's side of the family. After Joseph J. M. Mason's death his widow administered his estate. Initially, she attempted to administer the interests of two of Joseph Mason's children. Later, in June of 1861, she focused on only the interests of her daughter Mary Matilda Mason. Presumably, Samuel was no longer her household at that time.
