Between 1800 and 1810 his grandson Armistead Thomson Mason (1787-1819) constructed a home on a portion of the property, naming it “Selma”. Active in politics, Mason was a leader of the Loudoun County Democratic-Republican Party. In 1815 he was elected to fill the United States Senate seat vacated by William B. Giles resignation but failed to retain the seat in an 1816 re-election bid. On 6 February 1819, Mason was killed in a duel over political differences with his cousin, John Mason McCarty (1795-1852). Mason’s widow Charlotte Elizabeth Taylor (fl. 1800-1846) and son Stevens Thomson Mason (1819-1848) lived at Selma until financial difficulties led them to sell the property to William Beverly (1829-1879). In 1896, Selma was damaged by a fire, which destroyed much of the original house. Following the fire, the property was purchased by Elijah B.White (1864- 1926), son of Colonel Elijah Viers White (1832-1907) and Sarah Elizabeth Gott White (1836–1893). Elijah B. White was president of the People’s National Bank and owner of White’s Ferry. White began reconstruction of Selma, incorporating remains of the original structure into a new, more modern mansion. He commissioned Noland & Baskervill, a Richmond Architectural firm, to design the new house and Leesburg’s Norris Brothers to build it. Work was completed in 1902. In October 1911 Hazelle Pancoast White (1888 - 1920), Elijah B. White’s eldest daughter, married Joel Chandler Harris (1888-1964), son of the noted author at Selma. The White family continued to occupy the home and to farm the property until Elijah B.White’s youngest daughter Jane Elizabeth White (1893- 1970) passed away. Ben and Ruth Epperson purchased Selma in the early 1970s and lived in the house, also renting it for weddings and special events. In 1996 they listed the property with Long & Foster Realty. The property was sold to Peter J. ter Maaten, CEO of HSO Business Systems in 1999 with the intention of transforming the house into the US headquarters of the Dutch software consulting firm. In 2002, 162 acres of the property was sold to Edgemoore Homes, which began construction of a neighborhood called Selma Estates. Selma Limited Liability Corp., owned by ter Maaten, continued to own Selma and a conservancy lot of 50 acres, although the property was unoccupied after 2000. In 2008, Edgemoore Homes declared bankruptcy and Stanley Martin Homes purchased and completed the development. In 2007, suffering from a lack of maintenance and upkeep, Selma was nominated as one of Virginia’s most endangered historic properties, and a “Save Selma” group was formed by local preservationists. In March 2016, Loudoun County native Sharon D. Virts and Scott F. Miller purchased Selma and began extensive restoration and renovations of the property. 3 SOURCES: Ancestry Library Edition, Thomas Balch Library, http://www.ancestrylibrary.com/ (Accessed 27 November 2016). “History Was Made at Selma,” Loudoun Times Mirror, 22 October 1959.

    Book Club Guide Dear Reader, My inspiration to write Masque of Honor began with the purchase of Selma, a dilapidated historic manor house that had sat abandoned for decades just north of the town of Leesburg, Virginia. As my husband and I embarked on the restoration of the property, I was intrigued by the history of the home and the stories of the people who lived there before. I found myself most fascinated by the legend of the man who originally built Selma, General Armistead Thomson Mason. I delved into research to learn all I could about his life and the infamous duel he fought with his brother-in-law and second cousin, John "Jack" McCarty. When I began this project, I was confident that Armistead was my protagonist. Many accounts tell the tragic tale as a shining hero being felled by a rogue scoundrel. But as I read more into the original documents and memoirs, I realized a different story was emerging – so I redirected my efforts and began to learn as much as I could about Jack McCarty. After exhaustive review and careful examination of each man and their family and friends, I found a narrative that explained the events leading up to their fateful meeting on the dueling grounds at Bladensburg on that snowy morning in February 1819. I discovered that while Jack did indeed provoke the General, it was Armistead who was the aggressor and simply could not let the matter rest. And as I dug deeper, I discovered the importance of the women in their lives.
