    Richard Masterson, Plymouth, 1630; came, probably, the year preceding; a deacon of the "goodly company of the Pilgrims at Leyden" before the death of Rev. John Robinson, 1625; chosen, probably, 1620, when Governor Carver, Elder Brewster, and Samuel Fuller, who had, I suppose, all been predecessors in that office, embarked for New England in the Mayflower. He brought wife Mary, named Goodall of Leicester, in the document at Leyden, as married 26 November 1619; children Nathaniel; and Sarah, who married John Wood, or Atwood. The widow married Rev. Ralph Smith. It has been doubted whether the Deacon ever came to this country, but the doubt relies, I suppose, mainly on the negative fact of mention of him being hardly found; and yet we know, from Bradford, that he died at Plymouth in the great sickness, 1633. In 1649, Mary Smith, their mother, gave to Nathaniel Masterson and his sister Sarah, wife of Atwood, her right in "a house in Leyden, in Holland, sometime appertaining to my deceased husband, Richard Masterson."
