Christopher Masterson, Dublin, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts

Hello!
Hope your week is going well.

I am looking for information on Christopher Masterson born in Dublin about 1790.

I believe he married an Ann in Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania before 1828. Her name may have also been Elizabeth Ann, and I think she was born in Philadelphia.

Christopher and Ann had four children that I know of: James R. born about 1828, Constance born in 1832, Levi born about 1835, and Christiana? born about 1837.

I found possible census records for Christopher and his family:

1830 West Southwark, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1840 North and South Penn, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1850 Watertown, Middlesex, Massachusetts

Constance and James R. Masterson were the only family members I could trace past this point in the census records.

Constance married Benjamin Ednam Ward, and later moved to New York and Canada. James married an Ann and lived in Newton, Massachusetts.

My husband is a descendant of Constance.

Also, I found a record of interest of a Christopher Masterson immigrating to Philadelphia in 1826 with two girls Bridget and Ellen. The port of departure was Liverpool. Christopher's appoximate birth was listed as 1791. Unfortunately, the 1830 and 1840 US census records do not list the names of the children, so I'm not sure if this Christopher is the same.

Any help would be wonderful.

Thank you!
