I am looking for HELP! with Berry Massey (PLEASE) He's a big step in finding out my line 100% so could someone give me a hand. Berry Massey was the son of Elias and Elizabeth GATEWOOD Massey (proven by Rev. War penison App.) he was born 1805 cir in NC. he is on the 1840 and 1850 Meckinburg CO. NC census. in 1840 he lists 1 son under 5 1 son 5-10, himself 20-30, one female 20-30, in the 1850 census he is listed as age 45 wife Mary 37 1 son Ambrose age 10 and 1 daughter Martha 8, what happen to the 2 older sons ? Is this Mary his second wife? His mother Elizabeth is in the HH of Samuel Yadell and wife Sarah (B) 1800 this is right, but in 1860 census Elizabeth is in HH with Samuel Farmer and wife Sarah (B) 1800 I am 100% sure this is the same Sarah Massey, child of Elizabeth and Elias Massey, Elias died Oct 12 1827 Elizabeth made penison apps in1845 and again in 1856, Elizabeth died 1864 in Lancaster Co. SC living with her daughter Sarah Farmer, wife if Arch Farmer. Elizabeth says she had 15 chldren by Elias but records only name 9,by 1856 all her children were dead but 2 and 1 was Sarah, who was the other? Elizabeth also states in her statement in 1845 that her oldest child if living would be 60 years of age and the youngest has been grown and married twice many years age. Elizabeth also states the first family bible they had with the ages of there children was destroyed when there house burnt. Is Barry the son married twice? Sarah in her statement after Elizabeth's death states that she Sarah Farmer is the daughter and only heir of the above Elizabeth Massey, in 1867 Sarah Farmer was made sole heir of Elizabeth Massey. Can you help? Thanks a bunch! Donna
