General Notes: Husband - Gen. Thomas Meason

---

Uniontown, Fayette Co, PA

He was born on the extensive estate of his father, at Mount Braddock. He read law in the office of James Ross, Esq., at Pittsburgh; was admitted to the bar of Fayette County, Sept. 25, 1798, and very soon acquired a practice equal to that of any lawyer in the county. Personally he was a man of fine presence, and his popularity was such that it very nearly secured him an election as member of Congress, though he ran on the Federalist ticket against Isaac Griffin, in a district (embracing Fayette County) which was strongly Democratic.

Among the earliest lawyers practicing at the Fayette bar and resident within the county was Thomas Meason. The ardor of Gen. Meason to serve his country in the field led to his death at the comparatively early age of forty years. In the winter of 1812-13 he left his extensive practice to offer his services to the government in the war against Great Britain, and traveling from Uniontown to Washington City on horseback, the exposure of the journey brought on an attack of fever which resulted fatally soon after he reached the capital.
