  From Memorial Record of Counties of Delaware, Union, and Morrow, Lewis Publishing Co., Chicago, 1895: William A. McMaster, a prominent farmer of Brown Township, was born in Champaign county, Ohio, September 8, 1823, a son of Benjamin and Aminda (Humphrey) McMaster, the latter a native of Liberty Township, Delaware county, Ohio. The father was a native of Oswego county, New York, and came to Ohio in 1811, and his death occurred at the age of ninety-three years. He was the son of Robert McMaster, a native of Scotland. William A. McMaster, the subject of this sketch, owns a good farm of 103 acres in Bown Township, Delaware County, Ohio, which contains a comfortable residence, barns, and all other necessary farm improvements. He is one of the most prominent and successfulmen of his township, and is respected by all for his honest dealings and sterling worth. Mr. McMaster was married in this county at the age of twenty-three years, to Margaret Eaton, a native of Morrow County, Ohio, and a daughter of David and Elizabeth Eaton. They came to Delaware County Ohio, in 1821. Our subject and his wife have the following children: Aminda Norris, A.L., Amelia McDonald, Nettie Perry (deceased), and Stella. A.L.McMaster was born November 10, 1848. In 1873, he married Ellen Moore, a daughter of George Moore. At her death she left two children, Maurice E. and Nellie M. In 1889 A.L.McMaster masrried Jennie R. Forbes. Mrs. William A. McMaster died July 13, 1887, at the age of sixty-one years. Our subject afterward married Louisa Gardner, widow of Joel Gardner.
