Where's Willie?

Where's Willie? And for that matter where are his brothers Thomas Jefferson Masten, Martin VanBuren Masten and his Sister, Catherine?

As I looked at our progress on the Family Tree so far, I realized we had pretty good lineage for just two sons of Abraham Masten. James Polk Masten, and Henry Clay Masten. Many of the other siblings have only themselves listed with no descendants.

I have a .pdf file of the Masten Family Tree I downloaded from somewhere on the internet many years ago. It is on the front page of the website under Useful links, and is 40 pages long. I haven't had much of a chance to read thru all of it. It appears to be very detailed on the James Polk Masten line.

If you know of others who are related with the Abraham Masten line, send them a link and let them know about our website!

Here's a start!

Hey there,
It would be nice if the website provided a blog, but here's a place where we can exchange information for everyone in the family can see and benefit from. I have linked it in the Masten Family Website, but I'm sure you can access it seperately if you want to!

Now that we have a blog, are there any family mysteries or stories you want to get more information on? Have a question about a particular family member and their descendants?

I'll get it started... Was Adam Masten's wifes name Lanora or Lenora?
