I am still looking for the family of the John MASSEY who married Agnes COLLIER in either Brunwick Co VA or Northampton Co NC. Don't know birthdates, could be anywhere from abt 1740 to abt 1760. John and "Aggy" found on a deed in 1787 Northampton Co NC and John witnessed the will of her father, Thomas Collier, in 1797. I have found plenty of Massey families with sons named John in these areas, but none that show a marriage to anyone named Collier, or Agnes/Aggy/Aggie. The Collier family migrated to Caswell Co, NC and believe that John and Aggy did, also. Some of Aggy's Colliers eventually moved on to Giles Co TN, but have found no record of John and Aggy there. It has occurred to me that perhaps John died and Aggy remarried, or vice versa, aft 1797. Does anyone out there have this couple in their line ?
