Hi all, I though I would re-post my line. Actually it is my husband's line that has links with the Charles Ingalls family of Walnut Grove, MN. My husband's family also was associated with the same Ingalls family in Burr Oak, Iowa. Charles and Caroline Ingalls were friends of my husband's long ago family, and were also their neighbors. Emeline Masters used to babysit for their children. If anyone is interested, there is still the Masters Hotel in Burr Oak,Iowa that is I guess a historical place. Very interesting to visit. Even a story to be told about a drunken Masters that shot a hole in the wall! I guess he was mad at his wife. My husband's family settled in Canton,MN, Fillmore county, MN. His family descended from the Masters line from New Jersey. Here we go::: Henry W. Masters, b. 4 Sept 1845, husband of Margaret Vosburgh, son of Silas Masters and Jane Ann Fero.
