George Mason III (1690—March 5, 1735)[1][2][3][4] was an American planter, military officer, legislator and government official. Although he repeatedly won election to represent Stafford County in the then-one-house Virginia General Assembly, he may today be best known as the father of George Mason IV, a Founding Father of the United States.[1][3][4]
