“Charles Mason…”

Lee, E., The Last Hope: Lies, Truths and Legends of John Wilkes Booth’s 34-Hour Escape Through King George County, Virginia (2019), North Carolina: Lulu Press, pp. 155-56.

Elizabeth Lee was the Curator of the King George County Historical Society, but has now passed away. I’m deeply indebted to Ms. Lee for her assistance in finding Anarcha’s grave.

The painting of Charles Mason is in the possession of Angus Lamond, of Lynchburg. Mr. Lamond is a descendant of Charles Mason and Maria Jefferson Carr Mason, and I’m grateful to him for his generosity with his significant collection of materials relating to the Mason branch of the Jefferson legacy.
