Sam Houston Mason, Sr.

Notes:

Sam Houston Mason hauled freight to Louisiana, crossing at the ferry operated by his son-in-law, Bradford Carter. (White and Toole, p 41). His widow, Sarah Harrison Mason, applied for a Confederate Pension based on his service in June 1915, as a resident of Harris County, Texas. She was age 67, and had lived in Harris County one year at the time of the application. She stated that her husband, S. H. Mason, enlisted in Aug 1862 and was discharged in May 1865. He was in C. E. Lane's 1srt Tex Regiment C, Cavalry. She was indigent at the time she applied, and owned no property. Witnesses were G. W. Mooney and Effie Mooney. His pension application was approved. The proof of his service indicated he was actually part of Company E, 1st Regiment Partisan Rangers, and that he served from September 1862 through the Fall of 1864.

From CARTER CEMETERY, Sabine Parish, LA. Transcription
Submitted by: Leatha A. Betts
http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/sabine/cemeteries/carter.txt

This cemetery is located north of Hwy 6 just east of the Pendleton Bridge. From the bridge go about 1 mile to Merritt Mtn. Road. Turn north and follow the road to the end. From this point you will have to climb the hill. The cemetery is about 200 yds. west of where the fire tower used to stand.

Most of these graves were marked with wooden plaques which have since faded away, but at the time transcribed were still readable. Lily Thurman knew where they were buried.

Carter Cemetery on Merritt Mountain, compiled by Lily Carter Thurman Jan. 1981.

Notes:

ASSUMED this is James H. E(dward) Strickland, and that he was called Ed. I made this assumption because Carl Evan's research shows that Ney Carter and his only brother Ed married two sisters, Nora Humble and Elizabeth Humble.

James H.E. and Ney Carter appear to be the only two sons in the family, therefore it seems that James must have been called Ed, unless Carl Evan's research was incorrect.
