Donna, The URL I sent you will not take you to your ancestor, Hetha Garrett. The Branch stops before her. However, I do have a hard copy of the desendents you are looking for. I believe the descendents listing for Abraham LeMaistre is on Ancestry.com, but I have not found the correct one yet.

Hetha (Hetty) Elizabeth Garrett married my Great-Great-Grandfather, William Elsey (Enoch) LeMasters (1850 - 1923). I have downloaded information on the LeMasters back to Abraham (LeMasters) LeMaitre (1639 - 1722). You can view this file at http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=gedind&ti=0&f2=h9594&f3=2580 I have more recent family info, if you are interested, contact me direct. My Great-Grandparents were Charles Enoch LeMasters (1874 - 1952) and Rilla Baker (1884 - bef. 1913). Charles E. LeMasters had three wifes. His second wife was Nelia Humphrey 1874 - 1920) and his third wife was Mattie Adkins Cooper McClure (1894 - ?).

Hi, good to hear from you. do you have any dates for them? I have Julia but no dates, maybe you can tell us their ages in the 1880. I have the family of Ephriam but no child named Thomas, maybe with a date I could find him somewhere else Thanks for writing.
