John McMaster was one of four sons. His gravestone in Harrietstown Cemetery reads "Son of Wm. and Ellen McMaster." 

According to an article by Deborah Donaldson, William and Ellen had four sons: Joseph; Andrew; John and William. Joseph was next to take over the 600 acres. Joseph and his wife, Cora, started the dairy business. William [and his wife, also Cora] had moved to the Forest Home Road to a farm of their own. Andrew and John stayed to help Joseph with the dairy.
