DEMASTERS, DEMASTUS posted by Cindy Dotson on Saturday, April 3, 1999

I am searching for information on Robert Demastus/Demasters b. abt 1843 Augusta County VA. Found on 1860 Augusta County Census records with the following:Henry age 48, Cynthia age 50, James age 19, Mary age 15, Estaline age 13, Rachel age 11, Drucilla age 9, William age 4. Robert's age listed as 17 on this census. He was also listed with same father and mother on the 1850 census at age 7. I believe this Robert is the father of Creed Demastus of Tyler/Doddridge county West Virginia. Robert is found in the 1880 census of Doddridge County with Amanda (Duckworth)Demastus. He is also named on the delayed birth record for Creed Demastus in Tyler County, WV. I can find no further information on Robert, his ancestry or descendants of siblings. How did he get to WV? Was he in the Civil War? Is there an 1870 census available for Augusta County? Any information would be appreciated. Cindy Dotson
