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.

Richard, William, and John Masters were located in Peters Township, Washington County, Pa. from 1781 to 1790 according to tax and census records. In the 1790 census Richard and John were in Peters Township and William had moved to Amwell Township. William moved to Mason County Ky. in 1792 and Richard moved to Mason Coutny in 1794. Richard served in The Washington County Militia 2nd Battalion. He served in Captain James Munn's company and in captain John Harris' company. Richard moved to Clermont County Ohio in 1829 and died there in 1842. According to Mason County deed records Richard's wife name was Mary.

Clement is named first in his father's will and was also appointed to help his´uª0 ´uª0 mother settle the´uª0 ´uª0 estate; therefore, he was probably the oldest child. Some deed´uª0 ´uª0 transactions name him and´uª0 ´uª0 Pauline in the same record which could indicate his wife's´uª0 ´uª0 name was Pauline. On the other´uª0 ´uª0 hand, he had a sister Pauline, and they may have´uª0 ´uª0 jointly owned land. Dr. John E. Stillwell in´uª0 ´uª0 HISTORICAL & GENEALOGICAL´uª0 ´uª0 MISCELLANY about Early Settlers of New Jersey (Vol. V, p.´uª0 ´uª0 225), interpreted the´uª0 ´uª0 records to mean his wife was Pauline and that they also had a daughter´uª0 ´uª0 named Pauline´uª0 ´uª0 who married Jarrat Wall.
´uª0 Clement patented 120 acres of land at Shrewsbury, NJ on Nov 2, 1675. Clement &´uª0 ´uª0 Pauline had´uª0 ´uª0 120 acres in Shrewsberry surveyed on Nov 1, 1675. He was one of the´uª0 ´uª0 earliest settlers of East´uª0 ´uª0 Jersey. In order to receive the land warrant, he had to have been´uª0 ´uª0 living on the land for a few´uª0 ´uª0 years.
´uª0 On 10 Nov 1687, Clement sold his patent right for 96 1/2 acres to Jedidih Allan of´uª0 ´uª0 Shroesberry´uª0 ´uª0 at Passequenehua, bordered on the east by George Keith, on the south by´uª0 ´uª0 Manesquam Brook,´uª0 ´uª0 on the west by Thomas Eattone and on the north by Burlington´uª0 ´uª0 Path. On 21 Oct 1713, his´uª0 ´uª0 brother John Masters, son and heir-at-law of Francis Masters,´uª0 ´uª0 late of Shrewsbury conveyed´uª0 ´uª0 property to Francis Masters, son of Clement Masters of´uª0 ´uª0 Shrewsbury.
´uª0 Clement apparently violated the Colonial Law by playing games on the Sabbath. In´uª0 ´uª0 1689, he´uª0 ´uª0 was brought before the Grand Jury and charged with "Playing nyne (nine)´uª0 ´uª0 pins on ye (the)´uª0 ´uª0 first day (Sunday)". Thomas Wainwright and John West were also´uª0 ´uª0 charged with Clement for´uª0 ´uª0 playing "Nine pins on Sunday."

Notes:

(Medical):\par

His will was proven in Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co, NJ on 24 Aug 1684. He´uª0 ´uª0 named his´uª ´uªwife´uª0´uª ´uª0 and children in the will. His will is found in DOCUMENTS RELATING´uª0 ´uª0 TO´uª ´uªCOLONIAL´uª0´uª ´uª0 HISTORY OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, 1664-1703, Vol. XXI, by´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªWilliam Nelson, 1899.´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªThe book contains wills, deeds, etc.
´uª0 The IGI file does not list him as a son of Francis Masters; however, circumstantial´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªevidence´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªindicates he was a son of Francis who was born in 1599. Francis, presumed´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªson of Francis, was´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªchristened on 19 Oct 1629 in Custon, Kent Co, Eng.
´uª0 Francis is the first documented Masters in this family. It is documented that he had a´uª0 ´uª0 ´uªson´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªClement. Clement is believed to be the father of Richard Masters since Richard´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªnamed a son´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªClement who migrated with other sons of Richard from NJ to PA. Records´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªon only two Clement´uª0´uª ´uª0 Masters have been found in New Jersey, which supports the´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªbelief that Richard named a son´uª0´uª ´uª0 after his father.
´uª0 A Francis Masters was born in Kent Co., England (IGI File) at about the right time to be´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªthis´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªFrancis Masters. A Francis Masters was transported to America from England by´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªFrancis´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªEngland and arrived in Virginia on 29 Sept 1664. He was one of twenty-six´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªpassengers on the´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªship (DOCUMENTS relating to COLONIAL HISTORY of the STATE´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªOF NEW JERSEY, Calendar´uª0´uª ´uª0 of Records in the Office of the Secretary of State 1664-1703,´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªVol. XXI, by William Nelson, 1899;´uª0´uª ´uª0 Patent Bk 5, . 402).
´uª0 England gained control of East Jersey at the time he arrived in America. Francis´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªapparently´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªmoved to East Jersey very soon after arriving. He took the oath of allegiance´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªto the King of´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªEngland and fidelity to the Lords Proprietors in 1668 in Monmouth´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªcounty. In 1670, Francis´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªwas one of many named as "township men" in Monmouth´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªcounty because they were´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªconsidered first purchasers of land and had been there for´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªsome years. The year was not´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªrecorded for the earliest land warrants issued in East´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªJersey, but many were issued in 1675 to´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªsettlers who had lived there for a number of´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªyears. Francis "Le Maistre" was issued a warrant´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªfor 240 acres in 1675. His son´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªClement and daughter Pauline were each given warrants for 120´uª0´uª ´uª0 acres the same year.´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª(HISTORY OF MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES by Edwin Salter,´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª1890, pp. 28, 29,´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª360). William S. Horner stated in THIS OLD MONMOUTH COUNTY OF OURS´uª0´uª ´uª0 (p. 201)´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªthat early records show that Francis Le Maistre was known to have been of French´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªextraction. I do not believe he was from France and that Le Maistre was an error made´uª0 ´uª0 ´uªwhile´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªcopying the original record. I have a photo copy of Francis' will and looked at´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªmicrofilm copies of´uª0´uª ´uª0 the original in the New Jersey Archives, and they are very difficult´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªto read. The writing was´uª0´uª ´uª0 not easy to read, and the record is over 300 years old. If he´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªwere from France, I don't believe he´uª0´uª ´uª0 would be arriving in America on an English ship´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªand would not be taking an oath of allegiance´uª0´uª ´uª0 to the King of England. I also believe that´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª"Poolemah" is a copying error. The name is´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªPauline.
´uª0 Francis Masters's will was proven at Shrewsbury, Monmouth Co., NJ on 24 Aug 1684.´uª0 ´uª0 He´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªnamed his wife, Mary, and children Clement, Poolemah (Pauline), Mary and (John)´uª0 ´uª0 ´uªCobas´uª0´uª ´uª0´uª ´uªVogden. His wife was named as executor and Joseph Parker and Abiah Edwards´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªwere´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªwitnesses. The will was written on 24 July 1684. Letters of administration on the´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªestate were´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªgranted to Mary Masters and Clement Masters on 24 Aug 1684. Letters of´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªadministration were´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªgranted to Mary Masters of Shrewsbury and William Whitelock of´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªMiddletown the same day.
´uª0 Mary Masters, widow of Francis Masters, of Shrewsbury purchased 1/64 of 1/2 of 1/12´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªshares of´uª0´uª ´uª0 East Jersey from Robert Turner of Philadelphia on 22 July 1685. Robert´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªTurner had purchased´uª0´uª ´uª0 the shares from Thomas Rudyard on 23/24 Aug 1682. Mary sold´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª1/2 of the 1/64 of 1/24 shares of´uª0´uª ´uª0 East Jersey purchased from Robert Turner to "Garret´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªWale" (Jarrat Wall) on 27 Mar 1690. She´uª0´uª ´uª0 sold the other half to John Whitelock the same´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªday. Mary apparently was an astute business´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªlady and knew how to deal in land. While´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uª1/64 of 1/2 of 1/12 of the land in East Jersey (eastern´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªpart of present New Jersey) may´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªnot sound like much land, it would be a sizable amount of´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªland. During this time in´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªour nations's history, what is now New Jersey was West Jersey and´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªEast Jersey. A line´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªgenerally drawn north-south through present-day New Jersey was the´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªboundary´uª0 ´uª0´uª ´uªbetween West Jersey and East Jersey.
