  Note: There are some indications that there were Mason settlers on Presqu'ile at some point, but no specifics are given as to names or when they were there. I suppose Capt. James Mason could have been on Presqu'ile Point for a few years before acquiring the land at Conc 1 Lot 16, Cramahe and operating the inn near salem. However, they only immigrated in 1840, so it would have been a brief time on Presqu'ile. Not clear if the same Mason people are referred to here. (Dan Buchanan, Jan 20 2022)¹¹
