I'm wondering if your Harry Masters is related to my Francis Masters. Francis was born abt 1830 in Indiana. He was a lifetime Reverend, can't remember the denomination at this time. He served in Sangamon County, Illinois for most of his career. He died in California abt 1920. Have you ever heard of Francis? I have more info on him and his family if you are interested.
