William Mason Family Bible Records, 1780-1790, "The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated Out of the Original Tongues and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised, By His Majesty's Special Command" (Belfast, Ireland: Daniel Blow and Boulter Grierson, printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, 1765), Family data was recorded on the blank page across from the title page; privately held by the Sellers Burdette Carpenter heirs, Waynesburg, Pennsylvania, 2013. The Mason Family Bible was carried from Ireland to America by ship when the Masons immigrated to the colonies. James Mason, whose birth is recorded in the Bible, inherited it from his parents. The Bible then passed from James Mason to his daughter Charlotte (Mason) Scott, to her daughter Elizabeth Jane (Scott) Carpenter, to her son John Leslie Carpenter, to his son Sellers Burdette Carpenter whose heirs shared the Bible record with the Greene Connections: Greene County, Pennsylvania Archives Project.Collection
