Robert Mason, son of Robert of Dedham, was accepted as a townsman here (Medfield) in 1653; and he had a grant of "six acres upland and a little meadow adjoining to it lying east beyond the lot of Thomas Wight." This was between Pine and Green Streets. In 1658, Robert had leave from the town to take "sedar timber" to make shingles for his house. He married in 1659 Abigail Eaton of Dedham. The house of Robert Mason was destroyed by the Indians in 1676. He died in 1700, his wife in 1711.
