Chopawamsic (plantation)
[1] George Mason II built his manor along Chopawamsic Creek using blocks of local sandstone.[1] Mason planted an orchard and tobacco and raised sheep and cattle,[1] relying on the forced labor of enslaved people.[3] Like his father, George Mason III amassed vast land holdings in Stafford, Fauquier, Prince William, and Fairfax counties.[1] A few years after his marriage to Ann Thomson in 1721, Mason moved his family to Charles County, Maryland.[4] Thomson Mason and his family resided at Chopawamsic where most of his children were born and later also at Raspberry Plain in Loudoun County.
