Business Ventures
In 1691, the town of Marlborough was laid out on the same neck of land in the Potomac River that included Accokeek plantation. Mason was granted multiple lots in Marlborough and may have built a tavern there.
Mason sold Accokeek after his father's death and relocated to a plantation on Chopawamsic Creek which he named Chopawamsic. At Chopawamsic, Mason planted an orchard, grew tobacco, and raised sheep and cattle.
