Hi all,
Following up on what Reba mentioned about William Masterson's wife named Jemima, that fact appears in the deed of sale of their 9 1/2 acres of a portion of the parcel called "Bear Bacon" situated in Frederick (now Montgomery) Maryland.The sale of William Masterson to Isaac Downs can be found in Frederick Co., Maryland Deed Book "B", folios 63-65, dated August 16, 1749.Jemima was examined "out of the hearing of her said Husband and Made the same Acknowledgement of her own free Will without being Induced thereto by threats ill usage or fear of Displeasure of her said Husband."
Cheers!
