Eleonore, Sorry I can't help with location of VA sites you mention. Our research on Joseph Massey was limited to unraveling the Massey family (Hezekiah, Joseph, Richard) that came into North Carolina from Brunswick, Surry, and Charles City County, VA in the 18th Century. This took about 25 years (even with professional help the last few years), but I think we have things pretty well documented in my book, Massey Genealogy 2000. I suspect, from the locations you mentioned, that your primary Massey reference is my cousin, Judge Frank Massey's book. His three volumes are a monument to the countless, faithful hours he dedicated in loving memory of our family. Yet, things have changed during that time; new references opened up; Frank's lack of documentation resulted in many inaccuracies. For example, the so-called 1720 Brunswick County Poll List: True, the county was formed in 1720, but the List was of the voters in the 1748-49 elections. Obviously a son John, of a John Massey who immigrated in 1636, would not have survived. Actually, our immigrant ancestor was Richard Massey, immigrant about 1684; his sons Hezekiah, Jospeh, Richard. The John, Joseph, and two Hezekiahs on the Poll List were: Your Joseph b. ca. 1686-91, his sons John and Hezekiah, and Hezekiah, son of Joseph's brother, Richard Massey. This John was oldest son of Joseph's 15 children of a yet unknown first wife, and his widow, Elizabeth. If any of this is of interest to you, I could send you a photocopy of the Joseph pages from my First Colonial Family of Richard Massey chapter. Just need your mailing address. My book is $45 postpaid but concentrates more on my own Hezekiah connection, and on our direct relation to First Baron Hamon de Mascy of Cheshire, England, 1086, the first such documentation from primary sources ever undertaken.
