Booth Aided by Mosby

[L Verge]

"Enoch was the son of Wiley Roy Mason (Res. K.G.), his Uncle was Charles Mason (Res. K.G.). He was the State Senator from K.G. in Richmond and was married to Thomas Jefferson's G-Daughter. Their home is on Eden Drive, K.G. (After you leave Cleidale, on Dahlgren Road, you turn left on Eden Drive , Rt. 611,and go past Mason's home). "The Escape Route". Charles Mason had lots of "pull" in the government. It wouldn't surprise me one bit, if Booth stopped at Charles. Mason's home, for help.
Charles Mason may have not helped Booth, but he could easily have called on his nephew, to shadow Booth, until he was out of the County.
Enoch Mason was on General Charles W Field's staff, who was his Brother-in-law. (Obviously -married to Mason's Sister.) Question- Was Gen. Field involved in the Assassination Plot? Did he send Mason home?"

I asked about Enoch Mason's relationship to Charles Mason eons ago because I knew that Charles's plantation, Mt. Alta (I believe), was right down the road from Cleydael. If I am not mistaken, the home there existed until the 1960s. The knoll that it sat on is still visible from 611. My entire life, I have believed that, if you scratched the family trees in Southern Maryland and the Northern Neck of Virginia down to Richmond, you would find plenty of limbs all attached to the main trunk of First Families and also the Confederacy. We are talking dozens and dozens of so-called "regular people" ready to assist the CSA (and Booth). They would drive the FBI and people who conduct background checks absolutely bonkers today!
