Henry Laster, mariner, born 1812 - 1815, in Gatesville, North Carolina, lived in Dighton, MA & PENN
My great great grandfather, Henry Laster, was born in Gatesville, North Carolina, about 1812 - 1815, and is listed in Seamen's Protection Certificate Register Database as: Henry LASTER, Gatesville, NC. He was married to an Elizabeth Green or Greene, an immigrant from England. One of their children was born in Pennsylvania, according to a Mass. Federal census. Most of their children were born in Massachusetts. The Laster family resided in Dighton, Massachusetts. I found mention by Googling of Henry Laster working in Boston, Mass. as a stevedore. His Massachusetts death record of 1852 states that he was a "laborer" who died "accidentally." In the 1850 Massachusetts Federal census Henry Laster is listed as being a "mariner."
I have no clue about Henry Laster's antecedents, ethnicity, the LASTER family in North Carolina or its origins. One of his daughters, Amelia J. Laster, supposedly born in Massachusetts in 1846, was my great grandmother.

A Google search of "LASTER Tribe" indicates that there was an hybrid Indian-European tribe in North Carolina called Laster, because that was the most frequent surname in the tribe.
