Geocache Description:


For years we have driven by a stone marker and American flag. Today we stopped to look at it. A sign told us a revolutionary soldier named Robert Mason had a house here. We cannot find anything about him on the internet. If anyone is more successful, we would appreciate hearing his story. The cache is a simple one. Take a minute to give notice to someone who is part of our history. Here is the information from the web about Robert Mason: https://www.mhl.org/sites/default/files/files/Abbott/Mason%20Family.pdf Richard Mason (brother of Robert Mason), said to be 25 in 1779, served from Reading in the Revolution. Robert Mason joined July 17, 1780-reinforcements for Continental Army discharged Dec. 8, 1780-240 miles travel; with Capt. Abner Howard. Robert Mason, lived on the Middleton Road below John Jenkins, where, when he became feeble, Thomas C. his son, went to care for him. After his father’s death, Thomas C. built a home on the North Reading Road occupied later by Edward Blanchard.
