Source: A HISTORY OF THE PIONEER FAMILIES OF MISSOURI By Wm. S. Bryan and Robert Rose. Genealogical Publishing Co, Inc. Baltimore, copyright 1977 MASSEY --- Thomas Massey, Sr., married Nancy Hill, of Kentucky, and settled in Montgomery county in 1809, and in 1813 he settled at Loutre Lick, having obtained permission to do so from Nathan Boone, who owned the land on which the Lick is situated. His son, Thomas, Jr., wass a ranger in Boone's company. there were eleven children in all, viz.: Israel, Thomas, Jr., Harris, Ann, Agnes, Sally, Nancy, Matilda, Elizabeth, and Docia. Does anyone know what Harris family and line this Massey family connects with. With a son named Harris, I assume that there had to be a Harris connection a generation or two before Thomas, Sr. Any insight is appreciated. Please respond through HH or H-MO so that others may be helped. Ira L. Harris III Evansville, Indiana
