Hi everyone, I'm just now getting back to active research after a few years break and am especially interested in picking up my Masseys' trail again. I'm descended from Richard Massey and Winney Chamblee of Wake County, NC and Patrick County, VA circa late 18th/early 19th centuries, via their son Obediah and his first wife Nancy Bryant (married in 1813 in Patrick County). Obediah and Nancy's daughter Mary "Polly" Massey and John Stone (married in 1838 in Franklin County, VA) are my third great grandparents. However, I may also be descended from Richard and Winney's eldest son Warren Massey and Susannah Bartlett (married 1803 Patrick County). I have undocumented information that my ancestor Nancy Massey (married John Bryant, Sr in 1829 in Rockingham County, NC) was their daughter, but as yet I can't find anything concrete to prove or disprove this. Nancy died by 1838 and in 1850 John Bryant was living in Patrick County with his second wife and family as an immediate neighbor to Warren and Susannah's son James Addison Massey and his family. This could just be a coincidence, but it is the closest thing thing I have to a lead at this point. Can anyone tell me all the names and dates of Warren and Susannah Bartlett's children? I would be enormously grateful for any help anyone may be able to give me here, and will be glad to reciprocate in any way I possibly can. Best regards, Rebecca Olenchak

Oops, sorry for the typos, guess I was more tired last night than I thought. I also forgot to include these dates: Richard Massey, abt. 1760-abt.1838, Warren Massey, abt 1784-1870 or 1877 (I've seen both years listed for his death), and Obediah Massey, abt 1790-aft 1870. Many humble thanks again, and good researching!
