Sources: The Great Migration Begins, v1, p160; v2, pages 915, 1193, 1234-36; v3, pages 1463, 1753, 1792, 1793, 1954, 2022; Savage; AF. Savage: John Masters of Cambridge, MA. Perhaps came in the fleet with Winthrop. Freeman 18 May 1631, "with prefix of respect, a man of skill and enterprise." He died 21 Dec. 1639. His wife Jane died five days later. His will, made two days before his death, names daughter Sarah Dobyson, or Dobson (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. AF: John Masters, born 8 March 1581. Married Jane, or Joan, in 1606. Died 21 Dec. 1639. Migration: John Masters, origin not known, migrated in 1630. First residence was Watertown, Mass. Member of Watertown church by July 1632. 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 predeceased him. Much good info on pages 1234-1236. [Check Essex for orgin. Also AF records keep mentioning Tiverton, Devonshire, as birth places of kids.] ****** 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.
