[12351] William is son of J. E. Mann and Fannie Hooker.
Find A Grave Memorial 138104705 provides his children and offers:
William Masters Sr. acquired "Discovery," the plantation on which he made his home, on 12 December 1720 from Charles Beale. [Rent Rolls, 4: 406A, Maryland Archives] In the Rent Rolls [4:383] "Discovery" is described as being on *the north side of Oxon Creek.* "Oxon Creek is a cove on the Potomac River which straddles the border between Washington, D.C. and Prince George's County, Maryland just north of Interstate 495…." [Wikipedia, "Oxon Creek."]
In a deposition by Daniel Kelley in 1721/22, William's plantation is located at the *mouth of the Eastern Branch* (that is, the Anacostia River). [Prince George's County, Md., Land Records, I: 124-125 (6 June 1721)]
In William's deed of part of "Discovery" to William Jr. in 1755, "Discovery" is located on the *south side of the Eastern Branch of the Potomac River.* [Prince George's County Land Records, NN:342-343 (15 Feb. 1755)]
* This would put "Discovery" in the southeastern quadrant of present-day District of Columbia,* rather than in present-day Montgomery Co.
In 1765 William purchased a seat in pew number 7 in Addison's Chapel, a "chapel of ease" on the *Eastern Branch* created to permit worshippers to congregate nearer their homes and not have to travel to the church on Broad Creek, indicating that William Sr. still was living on "Discovery." [Vestry Records of St. John's Episcopal Church-Broad Creek, King George's parish, vestry records, vol 1, p. 94, copy received September 2001 from Jean R. Anderson, Parish Secretary.]
On your Find A Grave entry, you have William Sr., William Jr., Robert, and Robert's wife Mary buried at "Plantation Discovery" Dickerson, Montgomery Co., but "Discovery" was not at Dickerson. William Sr. and William Jr. died at Discovery-in present-day D. C. Is it likely they were transported up the river rather than being buried at Broad Creek Church where they were members?
The plantation that William Sr. gave to Robert was "Thorofare" or "Thoroughfare," the metes and bounds of which begin "bounded by a box Elder standing near the last end of a fair Island standing in potomack called Fair Island…." [Prince George's County Land Records, T:526-528 (15 Sept 1737)] This was in Frederick Co., most likely in the part that became Montgomery in 1776. Robert and Mary likely were buried there, but apparently there is some dissent on this? You write on Robert's Find A Grave memorial: "Records shows that he was buried in this cemetery ["Discovery"]. Until I find differently, I will keep him in this cemetery."
* I will be grateful if you would identify those records for me, as I continue to be interested in anything that will enable me to better document the Masters family.*
By the way, William Sr. could not sign his name. "W" was the mark he used, not his middle initial.
