Oliver Mason and Phebe Martin were among the members of the Baptist church organized in connection with the Sackville, Nova Scotia colony in 1763, but Phebe probably died the same year or possibly in the following year. Oliver Mason married second April 15, 1765, Mary Thurber, the daughter of Edward and Hannah (Kingsley) Thurber. If he went to Sackville, Nova Scotia, his stay there was probably short for he purchased Lot 10 of Range 6 in the township of Richmond, Cheshire, New Hampshire and settled there not later than 1767, being the first settler on the lot. In 1772 he sold this property to Constant Barney and removed to Lot 23, Range 4, in the same township and was the first settler upon this lot. In 1787 he sold this lot to Stephen Harris of Gloucester, Rhode Island, and removed to Westminster, Vermont, where he died July 1, 1798 and was buried on his farm. His widow, Mary, died April 21, 1820 aged 83 years, and is buried in the cemetery at Saxtons River, Vermont.
