This in spite of the fact that this item has floated around a long time and was picked up by Judge Massey in his 1974 book. MY MASSEY FAMILY IN MAERICA. Tabitha Massey was born 1729 and is named in her mother's 1770 will as Tabitha MASSEY. Henry Cato and wife, Tabitha <unknown> , had children by 1764 when Richard's Tabitha was 35 and still single, and she was still single and aged 41 or 42 in 1770. Henry's son William did marry one Sarah Massey, daughter of Arthur and Elizabeth Massey. Sorry to be a spoiler again. Best regards, Theron Smith.
