1Frank McKamie Mason, Homesteads in the Toledo American Settlement, 1985, p. 5-7 #12, 14, 15. "12. My grandfather, James R. Mason bought 400 acres of land including "Rocky Run" and 80 acres of Spice Hill and 80 acres of Dixie. Date 1880 back dated to 1872 ?. Probably an earlier settler started to buy the land but left. In 1886 he sold the 160 acre, Rocky Run plus 8 cattle to Mr. Ed Watrous (no kiin to Theodore). Ed Watrous married widow, Marie PPetet Johnston. She and brother, Paul Peret were children of Pierre Peret, an early settyler in Toledo Settlement. Mr. Bob Johnston, brother of ???.. Marie Carroll were children of Mr. Rob Johnston, brother. Dick, and sisters, Anna Moore and Mary Carroll were children of Marie Perets marriage with Johnston. Cousins Tom and Anza Moore bought Rocky Run from Mrs. B. Watrous and built a new home. Tom made a living with sugar cane and later mahogany cutting. he sold to Mr. Carroll, his brother-in-law and moved to USA in late 1920s. Marie young inherited Rocky Run from her step-father and presently lives there.
14. (large paragrph here about Mrs. Wood, Joe Lester, Mollie Copeland) ... One grandaughter, Rose Lester married Julius Payne. Julius Payne sold the 157 acre Hope Estate with plant, machinery, implements and cattle in 1885 after a mortgage on the land was cleared up, to my grandfather J.R. Mason. I am sure that he took possession of the land 5 or 6 years. earlier. The Paynes then moved to a 4 acre plot of land on Spice Hill. A Mr. Wilson, descendant of Julius Paynes currently owns Spice Hill. Alma Baker's daughter, Mrs. Ruth Crum looks after Dixie. Her aunt, Ruth Lester is in a nursing home.
15. Fern Hill - James Rogers Mason arrived at Toledo Settlement in 1876 kept 80 of the 400 acres of the land he bought with The Rocky Run land. He added the 157 acre Hope estate, bought 80 acres from Frank Pearce, and bought two 40 acre parcels from Paul Peret (Peret Place). Grandfather probably built the original house or it may have been built by Julius Payne. At any rate, he turned the house around to face North as he acquired land north of old Hope Estate. According to Ade Wilson's letter he put up his mill shed and between his own sugar operation and sugar from Ed Watrous's Rocky Run mill was pretty well out of debt in 1879 when he married Miss Julia Pearce. Their children were Maria, Annie, James II, and Julian. Julia, who suffered from an enlarged heart and was under her brother, Dr. Frank's care did not survive Julian's birth. Grandfather died in 1889 of amoebic disentary and the orphans at Fern Hill were cared for by uncles Harry and Levi. Julian died at age 11. (... continued under James Rogers Mason II)."2Frank McKamie Mason, Homesteads in the Toledo American Settlement. "Grandfataher died in 1889 of amoebic dissentary and the orphans at Fern Hill were cared for by uncles Harry and Levi."

1Frank McKamie Mason, Homesteads in the Toledo American Settlement, 1985. "1. Forest home - came to settlement in 1867. A sugar cane mill was operated with the help of sons. This was the home of Harry Pearce and later went to his son Magruder.
2. Forest Home Church and School - In 1874 in order to perform the marriage of daughter, Julia to James R. Mason, established a Wesleyan Church and became a marriage officer. A school and graveyard were begun on land given by Rev. Pearce. The 1945 hurricane blew down Forest Home house, the church and the school. The church and school were rebuilt at Shinn Cottage."
1Frank McKamie Mason, Homesteads in the Toledo American Settlement, 1985. "3. Eldridge - The Eldridges, early settlers, left after 10 years. Rev. Levi bought Eldridge and before 1879 built a home for son Dr. and wife, Annie Pearce. After practicing medecine in Kentucky for a year, Dr. Frank returned to Toledo with his wife and her brother, James Mason, my grandfather. Later Dr. Frank built his own cane mill and still at Eldridge. The rum caused a family rift. Younger brother Levi refused to transport the rum to Belize on his boat. Dr. and Mrs. Pearce moved to Sarasota, Fla and Magruder's brother Lee (Levi) took over Eldridge and the brothers made sugar as partners. Later they cut mahogany and ran a sawmill. Lee died in 1960."
