    (nothing known of her or her husband); daughter Lydia Tabor, perhaps wife of
    Philip; grandson John Lockwood, probably by his daughter Elizabeth and her
    first husband, Edmund Lockwood; Abraham and Nathaniel Masters, "whom I judge to
    be the son and grandson." The residue of the estate went to daughter
    Elizabeth, wife of Cary Latham.

    Freeman 18 May 1631. Removed to Cambridge in 1633. He was a tavern keeper. Born
    about 1581 based on estimated date of marriage.
    He wrote a letter from "Watertown, near Charles River, New England," to Lady
    Barrington at Hatfield Broadoak, Essex. The letter was described as being "in
    excellent handwriting." Born about 1581, based on estimated date of marriage.
    Will dated 19 Dec. 1639. He had three daughters--and possibly a son who

    ******
    Migration, page 915, says Henry Herrick, resident of Salem and later Beverly,
    had an agreement, before 30 Nov. 1665, with "Frances Masters, Frenchman," that
    his son John Masters was to live with Herrick for 11 1/2 years. This must have
    been another Masters family. John of Cambridge died in 1639.
