I am new to the Massey list and am hoping that someone has ties to the Massey's of Lincoln County, TN and the surrounding area, where my search has taken me - and then abruptly ended. I am looking for two Massey women: 1. Elizabeth Massey, b. November 27, 1822 in TN (unknown county), married Henry P. Cowen in 1849 in Missouri and died in Hickory County, Missouri in 1901. 2. Mary Massey, b. March 9, 1817, Tennessee (said to be the daughter of Thomas - no proof), married Chesley Pierce about 1840 in Tennessee and died in 1866 in Hickory County, Missouri. This marriage occurred probably in Lincoln County, TN or a neighboring county. There was another marriage that occurred about the same time frame between Hulda Massey(daughter of Joshua Massey and Elizabeth Ellis Massey, m. 1808 Jefferson Co., TN) and John "Jack" Pierce, said to be a brother of Chesley. Also listed in Hickory County, Missouri census records is Benjamin Massey, b. about 1817 in Tennessee. I strongly suspect that these Massey's are siblings or perhaps cousins, but have no proof. I hope that someone is researching the Massey's in the Lincoln County, TN and neighboring areas. I have information on these families after their move to Hickory County, Missouri that I am willing to share. Thank you. Sarah
