Barbara, In the 1850 Morgan County census index in the book "Selections From Morgan County History," by Helen Price Stacy and Wm. Lynn Nickell, there is a household listed for Richard Lamasters. It's number 525 (which I think is just their numbering, not the household number): Richard Lamasters 22 Ky. Catherine 23 Benjamin 1 Nearby is: 514 Lancaster Lamasters 45 Ky. Rachael 53 Va. John 25 Ky. Martha 21 Francis (M) 17 Daniel 15 Elizabeth 13 Sarah 10 Alexander Lamasters 20 Ky. There are also these in 872: George HANKS 33 Ky. Jamima 22 Ky.

Sharon >Ann, >Thanks very much for the info on Richard Lemaster. I was wondering if you or >anyone else out there would know the names of the siblings of Richard >Lemaster. The only census book I have of Morgan County is 1960 and he is not >in it, and the Lemaster USA book does not list Richard as one of Lancasters >sons. That was another reason I had been told that James was his father. They >list a son for James Lemaster as Richard, born 1828. How can I find proof >that Lancaster is Richards father so I can prove it to my realitives. Do you >know if there is any documents or records that I can buy, or any other way >that I can show proof of this. Also do you know where I can buy the rest of >the Morgan Co. Census books. I bought the 1960 one at the Mcgoffin Co. >Historical Society, but they did not have any of the others [1950,1970,1980, >1900, 1910, and 1920] that they were authorized to sell. Thank you very much >for your help. > >Barbara Estep-Holbrook
