As Abraham's birh in Manchester was recorded under the name MARSTERS, this should be his surname at birth, The spelling MASTERS appears to have been adopted by Abraham and his children after their arrival in Nova Scotia. This is peculiar to the Kings County descendants - in Hants County they contnue to spell the surname as MARSTERS to the present day.
