General Notes: Husband - Andrew Lemaster


The ancestor of the Lemaster family of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, was a native of Germany, and emigrated to Pennsylvania before the middle of the eighteenth century. He was a blacksmith and lived and carried on his trade in Philadelphia County, near the city. He died about the close of the Revolution. He had two sons, of whom Andrew was the younger.

He was reared on a farm and learned the blacksmith's trade from his father. After his father died his elder brother took the farm and Andrew followed his trade. With his share of his father's estate he purchased a few acres of ground and built a dwelling-house and blacksmith shop near Philadelphia. Later he sold his property and removed to Cumberland (later Franklin) County, and took up land where the town of Marion is situated. He also owned the land on which the White Church, near Marion, was built, and gave the ground for the church. He afterward bought a farm near Keefers, where he died. He was a soldier of the Revolution.
