History
MASON, CHRISTOPHER, son of Capt. Christopher Mason, Royal Navy, Greenwich, Kent, and Jane, dau. of Sir Robert Robinson, Kt. ; nephew of Robert Mason (qv); bapt. Greenwich 20 Feb 1689/90; at school under Knipe (J. E. B. Mayor and R. F. Scott, Admissions tyo St. John’s Coll. Camb. , I, 176); St. John’s Coll. Cambridge, adm. pens. 30 Jun 1705, aged 15, matr. 1705; perhaps Christopher Mason who was Clerk to Surveyors of the Navy Feb 1707 – Jun 1714; m. 1733 Anne, dau. of Christopher Buckle, Burgh, Banstead, Surrey. [Russell Barker and Stenning record that he was “killed while boarding a French ship 1759”, but it is not obvious why he should had been doing this at the age of 70, and this death notice presumably relates to some other person]. [but note will of Christopher Mason, Greenwich, Kent, proved PCC 24 Jan 1759]
