Mason was 38 years old when the Combs family arrived in Perry County.
He claimed all the land along the Carr´s fork of the Kentucky river. From the
mouth of the fork, where Jeff is now, down the fork six miles, to the mouth of
White Oak Creek, where Vicco is now.
Mason built his home on a high hill at the mouth of Carrs Fork.
He also claimed all of the land surrounding the fork of the river that runs
southwest from the fork of Carrs, and named it Maces Creek, after himself. The

main creek. And several smaller branches running off those. Mason keep Maces
Creek for a several years. Then traded all his land on Maces Creek for a hound
