Can you help me find info on these people?

Question

Can someone give me information on the ancestors of these people and any vital info? Thanks a lot.

James Lawrence Mason (1923-2000)
Father: Edward "Ed/Edd" Mason (1887-1959)
Mother: Ora Doxie Fuson (1888-?)

Ora Doxie Fuson
Father: William Layfette Fuson (1849-1909)
Mother: Charity Ann Smith

William Layfette Fuson
Father: James Fuson (1822-?)
Mother: Lucinda Evans

James Fuson
Father: John Fuson (1792-1877)
Mother: Mary Garner

Mary Garner
Father: John Garner (1776-?)
Mother: Rachel Henry (1780-1826)

I don't mind information from Ancestry. I've found them to be right on most things when I've used them.

Answer 1

I would offer my help but I only have access to ancestry.com you don't like people giving information from there do you. Red flag me if you must but I can do the same to you.

Answer 2

This might take some time to transcribe. Bear with me for a bit.

First, I have a marriage index for William and Charity. Gleaned from that site:
This was William's second marriage, even though he was only 25. He was a farmer in Bell Co, KY. Charity A.M. Smith was 21 at the time of her birth. Her father was a native of Tennessee. It was her first marriage.

There's a whole lot more, probably too much to just transcribe for you. If you want to send me a regular email address through my profile, I'll be happy to send you opies of all these records so that you don't have to retype it all.
