Cathy, hi-- here is what I have on hardcopy and I am awaiting documentation from a distant cousin. her mother and mine were doing joint research in the 80s and 90s. Kathleen Lemasters is now deceased but her daughter and I have been sort of tracking, jointly, several different lines including the morely Cain Calvert dulany and others. Abraham b 1639 in france m eliz (Lemaistre was the name). Ricahrd b 1670 in md m. martha dennis Richard 1st of richard b 1691 m Martha Kerrick of hug kerrick (hugh in both the calvert and lemasters line. isaac b 1728 m ann lnu abt 1749 p in md. thomas lemasters sr b 1750 in charles or frederick co md d in tyler wv thomas jr. b 1793 and d knob for wetzel wva m elizabeth gill isaac of thomas b may of 1818 monroe co va d wetzel m Christina criss b of moses and charity martha, Married my great grandfather, John Ewing Calvert b 1856 martha b 1855 wetzel and died in OK. I have much more and I know this is a 1992 hardcopy but why not give my email and phone # to your pastor and have him contact me for what he is looking for. My family went to Wetzel and visited Sarah Taylor who was a Lemasters in 1969 or 70 and Mom and dad went back 3 or 4 times so there is quite a bit of correlation between my line of calverts and the Lemasters. Families moved and jointly associated across time. I believe firmly from both family lines that both families are out of md but VA seems to be the intervening co and some PA. Some arrived at VA counties that became WVA from both lines. Associated families in the 1800s and before are: Cain Calvert Lemasters Pruitt Dulan(e)y Furlong Ewing Clare and others. barbara Joseph is of this line and she is the daughter of Kathleen, my mother's cousin re: Lemasters side. She and I are working somewhat jointly on much of this material. what i have is certainly updated quite a bit since i received this copy from mother. I am sure I can point your pastor at the right people. even barbara. We are seeking a relative that has the Calvert family role or scroll know to be existant in the 30s and was rumored to have passed from my grandfather to james who died and passed it to carl who died and we don't know where it went. Supposedly this document ties the family line to the appropriate calvert line. carl was a fraid to touch it as it was a crumbly document in a tube and mother recalls seeing it before it passed to james in my grandfathers trunk at either big cabin or wild horse ok. this document is what i wish to follow if i can find out who has it. otherwise, i do one step at a time. You should probably seek lemasters in Prince William Co VA and Cecil Md as well as Pa and WVA. hope this helps....... regards, dai David Bell daipdq@ev1.net h281/255-9502 w888/887-2667 x1208 ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Cathy Berger" <o2bab@bedford.net> Reply-To: CALVERT-L@rootsweb.com Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2003 08:53:44 -0500 I've been following your mentions of LeMaster even though my own interest is in Calverts of PA. But my pastor has LeMaster of MD in his family and has asked me to keep an eye out for them, since I usually am working in MD. Could you give me some suggestions to give him. I don't even know any name to give you but know he said before 1800 and that they were probably French.

It is quite possible they were from VA before PA. I do not think this line is from the Quaker line though I have investigated that also and have been viewing the various Gen's and records as if it were true. > > don't take this wrong but my family tradition and that of the Lemasters line is proven to have come out of MD to VA to WVA and PA but not from John the supposed brother of George or thomas or Joshua Harlan.
