Thanks for your reply, Gordon!
Could be the same person, but I have no way to confirm this.I have no idea what the "B" stands for.The name, birth year, and geography (my John Masterton, g-g-grandfather, lived in Dunfermline before emigrating to the US) are correct.The Mormon on-line database shows this person as the only John Masterton born in 1826 in Scotland, which makes me wonder about the completeness of the database.More interesting facts about the family of the John Masterton in the Morman database:
John Masterton and Janet Bruce are shown getting married twice in 1806 - November 15th in Abdie, Fife, then November 29th in Newburgh, Fife.
They had another son John, born on 12/30/1808.Either he died, or they subscribed to the George Forman theory of naming their children.
If you have any other information about this "branch of the tree", or can confirm any of this, please jump in!
