Notes:

"He was the son of William and Judith Mason. Was a member of Hood's Brigade in the Civil War and was Sheriff of Sabine County for several years." (White and Toole, p 36). His application for a confederate pension shows that he "was made a prisoner at Chr. Dec 3, 1863, discharged 1865." He further stated that he was born in Sabine County, and had been a resident for all of his life, "except for the war." He showed his P.O. as in Milam, and indicated he was a farmer. He served from 1861-1865 in Company I, 1rst Texas Regiment, Infantry as a private. He made his application on July 9, 1909 before County Judge J. H. McGown and witnesses W R Davidson and T B Davidson. They both testified that they served in the same company.

Billy Fussell and Bobby Wood, great-grandsons write that "N. B. and his brother Marquis De Lafayette Mason both served in Hood's Brigade, enlisting on April 1, 1862, in San Augustine. L.M. (that's the way he is listed in his war records) died from wounds received at the battle of Chickamauga Sept 19-21. N.B. was captured and taken as prisoner of war to Camp Douglas a notorious Prison Camp near Chicago, Illinois. He remained there until the end of the war and was exchanged at New Orleans on May 23,1865. He came home and married his brother's widow, Mary Terry Mason, and together they had 13 children."

Napolean married Mary Bethany "Susan" Terry about 1865. Mary was born in Jun 1848 in Georgia; died about 1923 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Mason Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In her transcription of the Mason Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary writes that she was married first to Marcus DeLafayette Mason, who was killed in the Civil War. He was a brother of her second husband, Napoleon Bonaparte Mason. The 1880 census shows her as born in Alabama, but in 1900 and in 1910 it was shown that she was born in Georgia.

Notes:

Jackson Green Low is missing from the 1870 Sabine County census. It appears that his wife Alma Scruggs had died, and that his children were living with their grandfather Elmore Harper. When did Alma die, and where was Jackson? On the 1880 Census, Jackson Low was married to Susan Huddleston.
