The 1850 Census lists him as a physician residing at 40 Franklin Street with his wife, Ocelia, and eighteen year old Eve Magill (probably a servant). Interestingly, Ocelia Mastin is listed in the 1858 city directory as an astrologist!
The name is listed Masten in both the Census records and the city directory so the headstone's inscription appears to have been misspelled by the carver.
