John Miller Mast

John Miller Mast (1829-1901) is our 2-greats grandfather on our Mom’s side. He married Rebecca Stoltzfus , daughter of Tennessee John Stoltzfus. John M. and Rebecca had 7 children. John was a religious and political leader in the Morgantown community. Before he died, he wrote a short history of the Mast family and shared many stories with his young grandson, CZ Mast, author of Mast Family History. His parents were Stephen (1800-1868) and Hannah (Miller) (1805-1866) Mast.
