Dear ALVELEYHISTORIAN & TWC
Its good to hear of some possible ancestry before Robert of Masonbrook. I know that Robert had two brothers, John (1695-1718) and Christopher (?) and also possibly Nicholas, Edward & Joane. Their father was Christopher also and he was, I understand a Captain in the Navy. My information is that Capt Christopher (or his father Sackville MAson) came from West Worldham in Hampshire.
Robert of MAsonbrook married Sarah monck and that is where the 'monck mason' came from. The family Monck were a significant family from England, an ancestor of whom was The Duke of Albemarle who gained fame during the Civil War ( he was a royalist!). There are couple of incidents of the Masons marrying their cousins in the monck family
He also had a son John (Rt Hon John M M )who was an MP for Blesssington, CO Wicklow and Privvy Councillor and it was he who lived at Mason brook. He married Catherine Mitchell
My information prior to Robert is rather sketchy as this reseach was done by my late grandmother and before the age of the web so I'm not entirley sure of some of the sources. After Robert I have a bit more detail of my direct line. I really must go to Ireland and do some research.....
