Fifth Generation

Sixth Generation

Elizabeth Masten married Richard Clampett in Delaware in 1778, and came with him to North Carolina. They settled in western Guilford County, close to Kernersville.

John and Mathias Masten moved to North Carolina about 1785 and bought land from the Moravians. John was received by certificate at Deep River Friends meeting in 1791 (Guilford County), and is also listed in Quaker records at Union Monthly Meeting in Stokes County.

Richard Clampett, John Masten and Elizabeth Stanley Masten are buried in Muddy Creek (Union) Friends Cemetery in Kernersville, NC. Union Monthly Meeting was organized in 1818 but was established as a preparative meeting for worship about 1771.

Eighth Generation

*Previously we showed this Joseph as son of Mathias Masten and Abigail Delapp/Dunlap. We now believe that he is son of Mathias Masten's brother William Masten and Lucy.Richards. This conclusion is based on William Masten's will, which specifically refers to John and Joseph as his oldest sons, and names them as executors.

Note: We believe that Belinda's husband Isaac Roberson was the son of David and Catherine Roberson who appear in Forsyth County in 1860, in Middle Fork district, living next to Isaac and Belinda. Was David the son of William Roberson/Robeson and Urkey Beckham? If not, then who were his parents?

-------------

Children of Eliza A. Masten and George Sandford Byerly
John W. Byerly (1856-1921)
Lucy Ellen Byerly (1860-1861)
Laura B. Byerly (1866-1894) Frank C. Brown s/o W.C. Brown and Ann P. Smith of Mocksville, Davie Co. NC

-------------

Children of Hezekiah Masten and Sarah Whicker
Mary A. Masten (ca. 1848-?). Did she marry S.M. Charles in 1867?
Darius Masten (1850-1922) m. 1) Caroline Smith, d/o John Smith and Mary Elizabeth Bowles; 2) Sally A. Smith
James R. Masten (1852-1926) m. Sarah A. Lomax (d. 1922), d/o William Lomax and Milly Caroline Tucker
------------

Children of Robert L. Masten and Grace Clinard

Dorothy F. Masten (1853-1934) m. William N. Pegram, s/o Henry J. and Eliza Pegram

Phebe Masten (1858-1859)
Adelia A. Masten (1860-1927) m. John L. Phillips, s/o Leonard Phillips and Mariah Harper
Mary J. Masten (b. & d. 1862)
Hezekiah Masten (c1866-?)

Previously we listed two daughters, Adelaide A. and Delia A. We now think this is a single child. She appears as Adelaide in the 1860 census but in other records as Adelia or Delia.

Based on a file of Masten family information sent to us in 1997, we also listed a child Eliza Masten (1842-1900) who married Alpheus Lindsay. Clearly a birthdate in 1842 is impossible for Robert and Grace, who didn't marry until 1850. We think that this is probably the child previously listed as Sarah E., born 1856.
