I am looking for information about the MASTON family who migrated from Ohio
to Whitley County around 1870.
The parents of my great grandfather were John Maston and Margaret Meredith.
They are both buried at the Booneville Cemetery in Whitley Co. I
understand that they married in Coshocton Ohio in 1844. I know very little
more about them and would like any further information that anyone has.
John F Maston was born July 31 1823 died March 29 1910
Margaret Meredith was born 1826 / 1827 died Feb 23 1903
They had a number of children, one of whom was Aaron Burr Maston who married
Melissa Lichtenwalter in Kosciusko Co Indiana in 1879 and then went to New
Zealand and then Australia. One of his daughters, Melba Victoria Maston,
was my grandmother.
John and Margaret's other children remained in the US. Maybe one of their
descendants has more information about the family. I have information about
the Australian connection that I could pass on.
The other children I know of were:
John Wellington Maston b 1848 d 1937
George Aaron Maston b 1850 d about 1907 m Phebe Tipton in 1877
William Henry Maston b 1850 d 1923 married five times!
Marion H Maston b 13 Dec 1856, d 1940. He was County Treasurer of Whitley
Co at the time of his father's death in 1910.
Margaret Maston b 1859 married Foster Buntain in 1890, in Whitley Co
Ida Maston b 1863 married Henry Hoover in 1883 in Kosciusko Co, Indiana
Jesse Lee Maston b1865
Rosa Maston b 1870 m R R Crocker.
