Andrew Masterton (c1638-1689)
Edinburgh Merchant
Andrew Masterton was a merchant in Edinburgh, having moved there from Kirkcaldy between 1660 and 1662, as deduced from the baptism records of his children. He was subscriber to a bond in 1675 for William Hislop, maltman, for attending a conventicle (a proscribed outdoor service of the Covenanters).
Genealogy
Andrew Masterton is most likely the eldest son of Robert Masterton, burgess skipper in Kirkcaldy, and Rachel Lamb, placing him as part of the small group of Mastertons identified in and around Kirkcaldy at that time. He married Alison Anderson in 1658, and had 8 children, and died in Edinburgh in 1689, being buried in Greyfriars Burying Ground. A fuller genealogy of Andrew Masterton can be found at this link
