Elizabeth FitzGerald, Countess Grandison

Elizabeth Mason (who died on May 29, 1782) was an Irish noble. She is known as the 1st Countess Grandison.

According to detailed records of her life and family background, Elizabeth Mason was born as the daughter of the 1st Earl Grandison, John Fitzgerald Villiers, and Frances Cary (who died on January 17, 1768, and was the daughter of Edward Cary).

On April 10, 1746, she was granted the courtesy title of Viscountess Grandison of Dromana in County Waterford, Ireland.

After inheriting the Dromana estate from her father in May 1766, she was officially granted the titles of Viscountess Villiers of Dromana and Countess Grandison in Ireland on February 19, 1767.

She died in Spa on May 29, 1782. Her age at death is estimated, calculated from her birth year of 1746, to be 40 years old. After her death, her son George succeeded to the titles.

Information about her family traces back to her marriage on June 12, 1739, to Aland John Mason (who died on March 26, 1759), a member of the Irish House of Commons.

This marriage produced a son, George (1751–1800), who later became the 2nd Earl Grandison.
