McMasters b:4/21/1827 N.C., d:1/16/1857 Dade Co., he m: ??? prior to 1855 they had a son; Albert Edward (or Edward Albert) McMasters b:8/14/1855 MO., d:abt 1901 possibly in Dade Co., he m:Mary Amazon Goforth 3/11/1877 Dade City, she was b:1/11/1858 Dade Co. and d: 12/24/1912 Dadeville. I am desperately trying to tie Albert to his father Zebedee (Z.A.) McMasters to complete a D.A.R. application. Note that Albert was born 1855 and Zebedee died in 1857 so I have no Census record that puts them together. Zebedee can be found in the 1850 Census (listed as Albert age 23) under his father Rufus McMasters. Albert can be found in the 1860 Census (listed as Edward F. age 5) with his aunt (Zebedee's sister) Mary Ann (McMasters) Goforth and her husband John T. Goforth. I also can find no record of Albert's mother who apparently also died prior to 1860. My email address is bbingham@netzero.net Thanks in advance, Brian B.
