Tim, I'm coping your email to a MASSEY and Muscogee county list as there are some who may be in your line and could give you better info. List, This line was located in Columbus, Muscogee County. GA. You will need to CC Tim as he's not a member of this list. kemis From: Tim Massey [mailto:massey6@yahoo.com] Mrs. Kemis Massey, My name is Tim Massey. I've seen your name come up several times while searching for genealogic records, And I think you may have met my wife, Ronda, at J & J pharmacy.. Anyway, I'm writing to you now about an obituary and comment you posted for James Walton Massey, brother of S. Columbus Massey. Admittedly, my information seems to be incomplete, often unconfirmed and sometimes contradictory, but I believe I may have found a connection between us. If your husband's grandfather was S. Columbus Massey, son of John C.C. Massey, who was the son of James W.(Wesly) Massey, who was the brother of Eli M. Massey; And if Eli M. Massey was the father of John Hiram Massey, who was the father of William Hiram Dawson Massey, who was the father of Oscar Lovic Massey, who was the father of O.L. Massey, who was the father of Norman Gene Massey, who is my father , then that would be the connection. If I sound new to this, its because I am. Which is why I was hoping you could lend me your expertise. Beyond Eli M. and John W., my information is 'sketchy' at best. I have their father listed as Josiah from South Carolina and their mother as Mary from Ireland. I have a few names and bits of information after Josiah and supposedly beginning in America with John Massey b.1616 in Ely (Cambridge) arriving in Fort Henry, Virginia in 1636 and marrying Frances Bobbitt. I've been unable to make the connection for myself from this John Massey (b.1616) to Josiah Massey (b.abt1775) , and so I hoped if this branch was also part of your tree, you would already have some of this 1600 and 1700 information. Thanks again, even if you are unable to help. Maybe I'll be able to help you with something some time.
