Mason family bookplate
Since the associated bookplate is that of Theodorus Bailey Myers Mason (1848–1899), who was born Myers but took the surname Mason at the request of his maternal grandfather Sidney Mason (1799-1871), this plate is also likely to be associated with Sidney Mason's family. (His daughter Catalina, Theodorus's mother, was boarding at the Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts, at the time of the riots and was rescued by the grandfather of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.'s wife Fanny. Reportedly, he dropped Catalina over a wall into a potato patch.)
