Hi, We have e-mailed before. Amy Maiden Name Unknown was born 16 Nov 1764 and married James Masters b abt 1765; died 1797 in Sussex Co., NJ Some evidence Amy m 2d John Decker in NJ and 3d Reuben Oldfield. She is buried in Martin's Hill Cemetery, Catlin, Chemung Co., NY A son by James, William, is buried there also as is her daughter Mary. Her other children were James mentioned below, Nehemiah and Wiilliam. James Masters (1785-1861) m Phebe Clark Dixon Masters as her 2d husband. I have lots more on this family. Nehemiah's line is on the Hornby, Steuben Co., NY site. My line drscends from John, the oldest son of James & Phebe. Phebe was m to Isaac Dixon in 1810 and their son was named James so when Phebe m James their first son could not be James. "James has been used in my line twice as a first name and once as a middle name. Laura Ingalls Wilder's biography claims one Masters in Burr Oak came from England. The shooting incident is there also.
