Note 1
Richard LeMaster was born 1670 at Charles Co., Maryland where, at the age of five he was issued a patent for a 50-acre tract of land called "Toombett;" the land was secured by his father in his name. In 1690 Richard LeMaster married in 1690 [sic] Martha Dennis (or Denys) and settled at "Toombett."
Like his father, Richard LeMaster was a carpenter and a major dealer in real estate in Charles Co., between 1700 and 1740. In 1722, after the death of his mother, he bought the family plantation "Betty's Delight" from his brother John for 5,000 pounds of tobacco; Richard LeMaster later willed the plantation to his son John who sold the plantation out of the family in 1747. Richard Lemaster is
believed to have died in Charles Co., about 1745. He was predeceased by his wife who died in Charles Co., between 1713-1723.
The maiden name of Richard's wife is often given as Dennis. This, however, is probably not correct. Her surname is unknown.
