Diane I looked in the book of "Foot Prints West " Second Edition, 1998, by
Doyle Fenn. It gives children and has William born 7, Oct. (1791--not
clear), but does not give a wife for him or death date. Inf. from Family
bible- included with pension application. # 5340, on microfilm M-805; Roll
#558
Hopee this helps, Erma Lee Masters

Circumstantial evidence leads me to believe that Richard Masters was the son of Clement Masters. Richard named a son Clement. Francis and his son Clement lived across the state from Sussex County in Monmouth County, but that does not negate the feeling that Richard was Clement's son and moved to Sussex County.

CHILDREN OF RICHARD MASTERS
William Masters, Sr., is the only documented son. There is no doubt in my mind that the others listed were also his sons. They and/or their sons lived in Sussex Co. during the Revolutionary War and migrated to Bedford and Washington Counties in Pennsylvania together. Some went to Ohio while the others went to New Madrid, MO (Louisiana Territory). Two remained in Orange Co., NY.

RICHARD MASTERS OCCUPATION
Richard Masters was a yeoman at Newton, NJ when he died intestate (without a Will) in 1761. His son, William Masters Sr., was appointed to inventory and dispose of the estate on 3 March 1762 (WILLS OF SUSSEX CO, NJ). His wife had apparently preceded him in death, since she was not involved in settling the estate. None of the other sons were named in the estate settlement.

RICHARD MASTERS' ESTATE (WILLS OF SUSSEX CO, NJ #563826, 64S)
William Masters posted bond and made the following statement. The writing is in English Script and is not very clear; therefore, difficult to read.

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT WE William Masters and George (Havens) of Newton, in the county of Sussex and Province of New Jersey, Yeoman are held firmly bound unto ..(name can't be read).. for the sum of three hundred pounds.... this third day of March 1762.......

INVENTORY OF RICHARD MASTERS ESTATE (PARTIAL LIST LEAVING OFF THE VALUE WHICH WAS GIVEN IN POUNDS) The document was faded & difficult to read; therefore, several items are left out. (The spelling has not been changed.)

Nothing is mentioned, that could be read, of his owning land. I thought he was the second owner of a part of a Waywanda Land Patent, which was first deeded in 1704 to a Mr. Rokeby, but it appears that Richard may not have owned the land, but that his son William, Sr., did. It is almost impossible to document property ownership during colonial days because many deeds were never recorded. Land was sold and a bill of sale rendered, but never recorded. The document was lost or destroyed from age after a few generations.

Cows (2), calf, goose, sythe, sythe & cradle, 3 oxen, plow, 2 mares, 2 stubing how (hoe), bette & 2 wedges, smoothing iron, candle stick, 3 augers, 2 chizels, square, compass, coopers tools, broad ax, hand saw, drawing knofe, sadle, slow? Making tools, 2 washing tubs, barrel, power tub and 7 guns

Barel & anker, 2 trammel tongs, shoves, bridle & sickle & bond, 2 crittes and a pot, lantern, buter mold, 2 hatchets, tape line, goate cart, coat and briches, pair of priches, 2 coats and vests, churn & butter mold, milk things, table, grate wheel, little wheal, 5 cups & sausers, 7 bottles, barel, chamber pot, 6 knives & 8 forks, half bushel, crobar, 2 hogs.
