Sophronia Mason (1809, OH – 1865, OR) in 1825, IN.  Recent research discoveries moved this lineage back one generation from the previous earliest known ancestor (Robert Judson Parke).  Eleven children known, though there are some unanswered questions concerning the last two listed children. Further research seems to indicate that this line may have a paper trail that leads back to Robert Parke through his Son Thomas (02T1), on Chart 13.  DNA testing would be useful to confirm connection.
