Mabel MacPherson

From JJC 10003, who said his father poked fun at her being hard of hearing by calling her "Aunt Maple" (she couldn't tell the difference, but was good-natured and didn't seem to mind); he saw her in New York and Mountain Lakes. Never married. Listed in 1910 census as single and 33, living with her brother-in-law JWR 110461.

James Somerville
Earl of Somerville?

According to family oral history, JBM 10042 received a GBP 500 inheritance from her (great?) uncle, of whose existence she had been previously unaware, who had amassed a fortune (possibly by building an operating a toll bridge) and been made the Earl of Somerville late in his life. Neil Somerville points out that this is a different title from the Scottish Lord Somerville, but I haven't yet tracked down the Earl. I do not know why my grandfather labels James as Earl of Somerville.

Margaret Masterton

+1870

FamilySearch.org lists a woman of this name (their code LYMX-TMY) married to a James Somerville, with a daughter named Jeanette (1854-1936), who married on 1882 04 24 a Charles Gies (1852-1909) and had three children.

The same website lists another woman of this name (9Q4P-QK9) who married a James Somervil 9Q4P-QVL in 1841 08 ?? in New Monkland, Lanark, Scotland. No other information, so presumably just the transcription of a marriage record that could belong to our Margaret Masterton.
