Pvt. John H. Mason

John H. Mason was born March 27, 1827 in Richmond Co., North Carolina. He lived on his family's farm until his marriage to Amanda S. Lamb, about 1856. Amanda was born November 17, 1839. John and Amanda moved from Pike Co., Alabama, to the area around Brookhaven, Mississippi, about 1859, with his parents.

When the War Between the States began in 1861, John left his wife and baby daughter and joined the Rebel Army.
He enlisted in Company D, 7th Mississippi Infantry and served for about three years.
Towards the end of the war, John transferred to Company C, 33rd Mississippi Infantry, so that he would be closer to his brothers Huck and Wince who were serving in that unit.

After the war, John returned to Brookhaven and resumed farming. He joined the Union Hall Baptist Church about 1883.
John died September 12, 1904, and Amanda died in 1909.
