Betty, I am pretty sure it went this way. Mary Masters was the daughter of James and Amy Masters and the sister of Nehamiah Masters. James, the father, died in N.J. Amy then becomes the second wife of Reuben Oldfield and they move to Hornby, NY area. The Masters children either move with them of follow after them. I am sure Mary Masters married Gideon Gould in New Jersey. When Gideon dies she marries Peter Decker. Mary Masters and Gideon Gould had a daughter named Phoebe who marries Thomas Oldfield the grandson of Reuben Oldfield. The off spring of the Phoebe Gould/Thomas Oldfield union is my great grandfather Gideon Gould Oldfield. Regards, Richard L. Oldfield
