I searched for the other names you posted but didn't find anything. You'll need to find the girls married names. WA GenWeb, www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wamason/maston.htmhas a hypertext link to Mason County Lookup Volunteers who may have access to marriage records.

Another source is the Mason County Historical Society and Mason County Genealogical Society, www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~wamason/mason.htm . Successful Searching!
