I can't find any record of William Mason that matches what I know. Irish records are notoriously spotty, so I don't hold out much hope.
I've never been there (yet), but I'm guessing that there may be more than a few occasions in Scotland-- particularly in the Highlands-- where somebody was born on or by a "red knock", so hope is wearing thin on this one I guess. I did find a Margaret born Nov 1 1806 in Dyke, Moray to a James and Margaret, which seems to fit a little better, but again...not Nairn and no "Red Knock."
I also noticed a Margaret born earlier in 1802 to Iver and Jane Clark and baptized in Croy and Dalcross. Perhaps this Margaret died young and was "replaced" by the 1806 Margaret.
