Ann, Thanks for the feedback. I did know about the Isle of Jersey and about Abraham being indentured. I did not know it was to John Smith. Is this a matter of oral tradition or is this actually documented somewhere?

Abraham was born on the Isle of Jersey in the Channel Islands off the coast of France. He came to America as an indentured servant to John Smith. But of course, you all probably already know all of this. I have two Lemaster lines, one maternal and , obviously, one is paternal. I am also looking for new lines to add. Here are two very brief charts that show how I descend on both lines : Ann Lemaster-Applegate Paternal Lineage Abraham Lemaster m. ?? Richard Lemaster m. Martha Dennis John Lemaster, Sr. m.
