This family history of the Masts not only traces the descendants of the 1750 immigrant Jacob Mast (1738-1808) of Berks County, Pa., but also traces the Blank, Johns, Miller, Smucker, Stoltzfus, and Zug immigrants for several generations. This was one of the first Amish Mennonite genealogies published in the U.S. (1989 reprint of 1911 edition).
