George Mason VI (August 11, 1786 - August 21, 1834)[1] was a prominent Virginia planter. Mason was the eldest son of planter and businessman George Mason V and grandson of United States patriot, statesman, and delegate from Virginia to the United States Constitutional Convention, George Mason.

Early life

Born on 11 August 1786 in Fairfax County, Virginia, Mason was the eldest son of George Mason V and his wife Elizabeth "Betsey" Mary Ann Barnes Hooe.[2]

Estates

Mason inherited Gunston Hall and by 1825, he had also acquired the Fairfax family seat of Mount Eagle.[3]

Marriages and children

George married his cousin Elizabeth Thomson Mason, daughter of Thomson Mason and Sarah McCarty Chichester, on 17 February 1813.[1] George and Elizabeth had six children:[1]

  • Helen Eliza Mason Ellzey (1 December 1813–27 June 1876)[1]
  • Sarah Eugenia Mason (16 May 1816–29 June 1816)[1]
  • John McCarty Mason (25 April 1817–7 July 1837)[1]
  • George Thomson Mason (17 August 1818–26 April 1846)[1]
  • Georgianna Mason (19 December 1819–24 July 1820)[1]
  • Sally Eilbeck Mason (11 March 1821–c. 29 August 1888)[1]

Later life

George died on 21 August 1834 at Gunston Hall at the age of 48.[1] Both George and his second wife Eleanor are buried in the Mason family graveyard at Gunston Hall.

His widow Eleanor was the last member of the Mason family to inhabit Gunston Hall.[4] She was later the subject of a lawsuit brought against her by George Mason of Hollin Hall which resulted in the Gunston Hall tract being sold at public auction to relative George Mason Graham on 9 February 1842.[4] Eleanor was given the right to live there for her lifetime.[4] She and Graham sold the property in 1866.[4]
