Mattawoman was an 18th-century plantation on Mattawoman Creek in Charles County, Maryland, United States.
History
Mattawoman was the country estate of Colonel William Eilbeck, a wealthy planter and merchant, and his wife Sarah Edgar. [1] On 4 April 1750, Colonel Eilbeck's only child, 16-year-old Ann, married George Mason at Mattawoman. [2] [3] Mason's father's plantation, where Mason spent several years of his childhood, adjoined Mattawoman. [1] [2]
George Mason bequeathed Mattawoman and all his lands upon Chicamuxen and Mattawoman creeks to his son William Mason. [4] At age 23 in 1780, Mason's eldest son George Mason V inherited Mattawoman from his maternal grandmother, Sarah Eilbeck. [5] Mason inherited his father's properties upon his death in 1792. [4]
