General Notes: Husband - George Meason


For a short time George Meason, "gent.," brother of Isaac Meason, was Justice of the Peace. Of him it may be said that he deserves more than a passing notice. He held a lieutenant's commission in the regular army of 1812. A difficulty arose with a fellow-officer, and in settling the affair an appeal was made to the code of honor. Lieut. Meason was seriously wounded by the shot of his antagonist and permanently lamed.
He was a gentleman remarkably courteous in his intercourse with others, though sometimes overcome by the too frequent weakness of convivial enjoyment. Yet he never forgot the obligations of a gentleman, or the natural urbanity of his manners.
