John Mason, Died 1694. Julian's account of J. Mason: The known facts of his life are scanty. He was the son of a dissenting minister, and the grandfather of John Mason, the author of A Treatise on Self- Knowledge. He was educated at Strixton School, Northants, and Clare Hall, Cambridge. After taking his M.A., he became curate of Isham; and in 1668, Vicar of Stantenburg, Bucks.
But the most significant contribution Mason made to the fledgling state government was writing a constitution and bill of rights during a six week period in May and June of 1776.
