Hugh Massey/Massie of Coddington in Cheshire, perhaps seen 13,14 Henry6 [i.e., 1435/6], married Ann Bold, daughter of Nicholas Bold of Coddington. Though not without controversy, this Hugh is frequently credited with being the ancestor of the Coddington Massies. He is also often shown, again not without controversy, as a grandson of the Sir John Massey of Puddington in Cheshire who fell at the battle of Shrewsbury [1403/4] fighting for Henry5. Then VISITIATIONS OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE [1575 and 1619] shows Nicholas Massey [of Coddington] as "younger son" of Hugh Massey of Coddington. Nicholas is placed as ancestor of Masseys in the Isle of Ely area of Cambridgeshie from which emigrants to MD and VA are sometimes placed. Are the Cambridgeshire Visitations the sole source for showing the said Nicholas as a son of Hugh and Ann? Regards to all, Theron Smith.
