William Masters, Sr.
.
The first known record of William Masters, Sr., who used the mark
"W", is the purchase of pew no. 12 in the St. John's Broad Creek parish,
in March 1715. (These records can be found in the Maryland Historical
Society, Baltimore, Md.) This pew was sold by the family in June, 1770.
William served as the church warden in the parish for many years.
arden in the parish for many years.
His wife, Mary Veitch, was the daughter of Nathan and Ann (Clagget)
Veitch. Nathan left land in 1702 by his will (PG Co. Liber C, fol. 14) to
his daughter, Mary, called "Hopeful Blessing". This land was sold
(Charles Co. Liber O, no. 2, fol. 206) by William and Mary in 1737 to
Thomas Farrand. At the death of Nathan his wife, Ann, married Richard
Weaver. Her will (PG Liber A, fol. 378) bears this out.

In 1716 William served as administrator for his brother, Robert's,
estate. (Queen Ann Co. Liber 37A, fol. 68 and PG Co. Liber BE no 1, fol.
261) William, along with his father in law, Richard Weaver, bound
themselves for 50 pounds sterling to serve as administrator on this
estate (PG Co. Adm. Bonds, p. 94)

In 1720 Daniel Kelly deposed that in about the year 1718 he saw
William's son, Nathan, who was at that time about 4 years of age, on
William's plantation. Nathan had his ear partially bitten off by his
father's gray mare. (PG Co. Liber I, fol. 87).
. (PG Co. Liber I, fol. 87).
This, plus the complaint filed by William in 1744 against Priscilla
Wilson for the administration of Nathan and Frances' estate, proves the
relationship of father and son. (HR: Test. Proc. Box 46, fol. 4) This
complaint also states that Frances was the daughter of Priscilla Wilson,
widow. Land records and administration of inventory records state that
Priscilla was the widow of Thomas Wilson.(PG Co. Liber BB, fol. 278 and
Fred. Co. Orphan's Court Liber A no 1, fol. 159). The Wadsworth Familyof

William acquired several pieces of property over the next few years.
In 1718 he patented 100 acres of Gum Spring out of a warrant to Thomas
Addison (Certificate of Patent: IL #A, fol. 818) which he sold in 1722 to
his brother in law, John Veatch (PG Co. Liber I, fol. 307). In 1720 he
bought 383 acres from Daniel Dulaney called Discovery (PG Co. Liber I,
fol. 87). This property bordered on the Eastern Branch called, in 1989,
the Anacosta River. His son in law, Ezekiel Goslin, husband of daughter,
Elizabeth, bought in 1736 127 acres of Discovery. The deed was recorded
both 1736 and 1737 (PG Co. Liber T, fol. 308 and 525). At the same
time, William sold, for 5 shillings, Thoroughfare, to his son Robert
(PG Co: Liber T, fol. 526). It is the deduction of these writers that
William sold this land to his family members at the time of their
marriages.
at
In 1744 William purchased, along with John Veatch, 132 acres of
"Progress". John took 80 acres and William received 52 acres. (PG Co.
Liber BB, fol. 112). William immediately leased these 52 acres toEzekiel
Goslin for rent and the construction of buildings (PG Liber BB, fol.237).
In 1770 he sold the 52 acres to Elizabeth Goslin (Fred. Co. Liber N, fol.
149) Ezekiel had died 1767 with instructions that all his lands be sold.
Elizabeth later disposed of the land and moved with other family members
to the Moravian settlement of Wachovia in North Carolina. She died
March, 1802, and is buried in Hope, N.C. in the Old Cemetery.

William Jr. purchased 52 acres of Discovery for 5 shillings (PG Liber

We can only surmise what Margaret was left to do in raising her three
small children. Thomas Windom, who was distantly related to the Masters
family through the marriage of William, Sr.'s, sister to William Norris
and also possibly to Margaret came to the rescue. She more than likely
kept house for the bachelor and in return provided for her and her
children. When he died 1767 he left his personal estate and land,

family members to be a Wilson, more specifically another daughter of
Thomas and Priscilla Kent Wilson. This has not been proven by documents

The following is from a Masters Genealogy that was complied by Janaice Reddell Masters, wife of Charles Tipton Masters, a descendant of Newton Jasper Masters.
"The general tradition is that the Masters family came from the landed gentry living along Kent (England).Since the oldest brother only inherited, a second son came over with Lord Baltimore when Maryland was settled.The family moved from Maryland to either Anderson or Spartanburg, South Carolina.Seemingly many are there today.From there some moved to North Alabama.
There we four Masters brothers.Their father was a Baptist preacher by the name of George Washington Masters.The names George and Washington were popular in the family due to the fact that an ancestor had been on George Washington's Staff."

Families of Masters, Veitch, Gatton and Selby can be found in early
times living in the same neighborhood of Peebleshire and Roxburghshire,
in the lowlands of Scotland. At the time of the Civil Wars in Scotland,
beginning about 1648, a large exodus of Scots to Ireland, Barbadoes,
Virginia and Maryland began.

James Veitch was the first to arrive on our shores. A very good
account of this family can be found in Laurence R. Guthrie's We Veitches.

He settled in Calvert Co., Md. Unfortunately, there are very few
early records now available for this county due to courthouse fires.
Though some land records are found for him, none can be found for the
Masters, or for the other families, who must have lived near theVeitches.

In 1652 Ninian Beale, of Largo, Fifeshire, began patenting a large
amount of land in what is now Prince Georges' Co, Md., and offered a
settlement area to those Scots wishing to leave Scotland at this time of
trial. The Masters, Veitches, Gattons, etc. eventually also moved tothis
area, called "Scots Hundred" and here we find the majority of therecords.

At least four Masters can be found in early passenger lists: James,
Thomas, Robert and William, who arrived late 1670's to the Eastern Shores
of Maryland and Virginia. One of these men is undoubtedly the immigrant
and father of the first Masters of record in what later became Prince
Georges' County, Maryland.
1 CONT Georges' County, Maryland.
Prince Georges' was developed in 1696 from sections of Charles and
Calvert Counties. Later Frederick Co. in 1748 was taken from the
Northwest section of Prince Georges' Co. only to then be divided in 1776
into Frederick and Montgomery Counties. In 1790 when the United States
capital was established on neutral ground a portion of Southeast
Montgomery Co. and Western Prince Georges' Co. was given by Maryland
to form the District of Columbia. The Masters land happened to fall into
these sections. It should be noted that a study of the subdivision of
these counties is necessary to understand the residences of the Masters
family and those families with which they intermarried.
