• Notes

  The ancestry of our Mary John was unknown until the publication of the Chancery Court Records for Montgomery Co., Ohio In two different land cases, she is listed as the daughter of David John and wife of Absalom Mast along with the ss I now have listed for her. It should be noted that there was another Mary John in Montgomery Co. that had been connected to this family instead in places like Brien's "Miami Valley Genealogies, Vol. II", but the Chancery Court records are as clear as day on this. It's this Mary married to Absalom Mast who is the d. of David John and Eleanor Powell. (C-2318) Mary's birth date is listed as Mar 5, 1797 in her husband's bible, her cemetery stone and in a published book "The Mast Family History" (Mar 3, 1797). She is listed as age 16 in the guardianship papers after her father's death in 1815 with her older brother, Bowen being listed at age 18. This would calculate his birth date at 1797 and hers at 1799. She is definitely the sibling born after Bowen (b. 1797) and before Samuel (b. 1801) in all of the court records on this family. I suspect that the earlier dates of birth, given when they were children are more correct. It should be noted that in a transcribed Bible record belonging to Gr.Gr. Aunt Jane Pickering, she was listed as a Mary Johns with an s on the end of the name.
