The channel between the island and the Virginia shore is commonly referred to as the Little River, and the smaller island located immediately southwest of Theodore Roosevelt Island is known as Little Island. Together the two islands comprise an 88.5-acre naturalistic landscape unique among the heavily urbanized environs. Although distinct, Little Island is managed as a component of the larger Theodore Roosevelt Island. In turn, Theodore Roosevelt Island falls under the auspices of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a component of the National Park Service. The parkway runs parallel with the island along the Virginia shoreline to the west, and a pedestrian bridge facilitates access to the island across the Potomac River.

WISE Since the publication of Part I of this article in the October, 1977 issue of the Arlington Historical Magazine, Fairfax County has published an excellent study of early land grants by Beth Mitchell. ' This tome also includes those land grants occuring in present-day Arlington County, Virginia. The use of this cited reference along with the Land Ownership Map: 1669-1796, Arlington, County, Vir• ginia,^ should provide some of the basic information about the early land grants of this area. The author has attempted to present brief family historical sketch• es in the Arlington Historical Magazine as an introduction to the important roles that families contributed to the cultural heritage of present-day Arlington County, the States of Virginia and Maryland, and to the national scene. Perhaps others will be encouraged and motivated to do more detailed and indepth studies of individual family histories and their respective roles in our local and national heritage.

ACC I filaet CO?EllITV VliRe3S113Z1 THE MASCN FAMILY OF KEGOTANK ACCOMACK COUNTY VIRGINIA Bagwell Anderson Mason's Ancestors and Relations Commissioned by Christina Courter Erly, Greenwood, Indiana Mary Frances Carey Certified Genealogist #237 Introduction Tracing the ancestors of Bagwell Anderson Eason has not proven difficult. There is no doubt but that they were the Masons of the Kegotank area in Accomack County, Virginia. Beyond the proof found in the records, the name of Bagwell indicates they were of Accomack County. While it is likely Bagwell A. Mason had a maternal ancestor who was a Bagwell, the name has been used as a given name in Accomack County from the early 1700's to the present day. Bagwell Custis Mason was named as a son by Thomas Mason Senr in his will of 1821. They were a branch of Masons living in the Onancock Creek area. The most difficult feature of this family history has been separating the several different Eason families. This entailed searching records in four counties: North ampton County, the southernmost county on the Eastern Shore of Virginia; Accomack County, joining Northampton County on the north; Worcester County, Mary- land, adjacent and joining Accomack County on the north; And Somerset County, Mary- land, east of Worcester County. Worcester County was formed from Somerset County in 1742. Except for one early Mason in Northampton County, there appears to have been none there until the mid-1800's. Somerset County had two early Mason men, and an Abraham Mason on tax lists of 1723 and 1724, but no Masons at all are listed there by the 1850 census.
