That's fabulous, thank you again. Such a shame the grave has been neglected.

1881 census entry seems to indicate that David's father was Peter. To confirm, you should view the birth entry on ScotlandsPeople (pay per view but quite reasonable). David was only two months old at the time of the census and Peter was a forester.
Margaret's maiden name was Martin. But I can't find a marriage. However, the birth entry for any of the children should give the date and place of the parents' marriage.

You can find some transcriptions of the 1910 Census here: http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#
There is a John Masterson who shows up on the 1920 & 1930 Census in San Francisco with an arrival date of 1904 and an age close to the J. Masterson noted above. He & his parents were born in Ireland. He was a police officer, so I'm not sure if he was the same one as the J. Masterson in 1910. The WWI Draft Registration Card that I found for this John Masterson gives a birth date of 3 Apr. 1882 and, based on the California Death Index, he died in San Francisco on 16 Dec. 1968 and his mother's maiden name was Sheridan. This is probably a total stretch from your guy, but I guess a name change is possible, so just thought I'd mention it in case.
