Calderwood states he was born in Alabama, probably born in the part of Florida that later became Alabama. West Florida, including Mobile, went from French to British to Spanish to American control during this time period so there was no US Census at first. Mobile was also part of the Mississippi Territory during part of this era. One census William states his parents born in Florida. Sarah Mason was born 1810 or 1816, Mississippi/Alabama depending on which census, her parents were from North Carolina. She married Calderwood Mason on April 30th of 1832 in Mobile Alabama, She passed on October 20th 1887.in Mississippi, United States. By 1880 Census Ms. Sarah Widowed . She is also head of household in 1860 and 1870. Calderwood Mobile marriage records show 2 marriages one to S. Samuellond and one to Sally Lott. I found on sound alike census records Samuellond changes into Sumrall. Calderwood served part of a 5 year enlistment in Army as Pvt in Artillery 21 July 1812 to 5 Jan 1815 when he received an early General Discharge from Fort Moultrie, SC, possibly Medical reasons, sore legs and eyes noted. This may be where the Mason Ferry idea came from. The island had two.
