General Notes: Husband - Col. Isaac Meason, Sr.

---

He was an important figure in the early history of Fayette County, Pennsylvania. He was a Virginian by birth, and as early as the year 1770 came to Southwest Pennsylvania. He bought land on Jacob's Creek, and built on it the Mount Vernon Furnace. Not long afterwards he bought the Gist property on Mount Braddock, in Dunbar township, and soon acquiring additional lands took rank as one of the largest land-holders in that neighborhood. In 1799 he owned upwards of six thousand acres. In 1790 he built the Union Furnace on Dunbar Creek, and set up two forges and a furnace on Dunbar Creek from Union Furnace down to the mouth of the creek. At Union Furnace he built a stone grist-mill, and for years conducted extensive business enterprises that made him widely known. He owned, also, the lands originally possessed by Col. William Crawford, and in 1796 laid out the village of New Haven, on the Youghiogheny opposite Connellsville. He died in 1819, and was buried on the Mount Braddock estate.
