Posted on: Yell Co. Ar Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ar/Yell/421 Surname: Massingale, Massingill, Massongill, Massongale, McBride, Heffington, Brett ------------------------- I am looking for any relatives and any information about the following people. Our 3 great grandfather George W. Massingale was known to be an orphan, but it appears from census records that maybe he lost his father and his mother couldn't take care of the entire family. In the 1850 Census of Magazine Twp. George is living with the Thomas E. Jones Family along with Nancy W. Jones and Rebecca Massingale. Is Rebecca his sister? In Riley Twp is Elizabeth Massingale who I believe is Georges mother. Elizabeth has in her house hold Henry A. Massingale age 6, James B. Brett age 16, Elizabeth T. Brett age 14, and William McBride age 20. James and Willliam appear to be working the farm. By 1860 Census Elizabeth is living with the Wm. G. Heffington family, wife Elizabeth T. age 25. Is the Elizabeth T. the same Elizabeth T. in 1850 (Elizabeth T. Brett). Also living with the Heffingtons is Dorothy McBride. The names keep crossing, so is there anyone out there that is related or knows anything?
