John [Salter] Mastick
John Mastick, father of Nathaniel, was the only son of John Salter, of a wealthy Holland family, born in 1717, was stolen by a British press-gang at the age of nine years, put aboard a man-of-war and held in the service nine years. Taking advantage of the first opportunity when the ship lay in Boston harbor, he “swapped” clothes with a stone mason, assumed the name of John Mastick, and though pursued and wounded, escaped, settled, married, and raised a family. An advertisement in after years appeared in a New York paper for the heirs of this Holland house. His eldest son gathered together the proofs and started for Europe, but was never more heard from.
