Hi ya'll, Since it's a new year, let's start it out with a Roll Call. If you see someone who may have a cousin, tell them. We can only learn if each of us shares their findings. My hubbie is the 5th generation of MASSEY's in Muscogee County, GA. His line is: 1. James M. MASSEY (b.1806 d.1894) sp: Sarah Ann YATES +2. John C. MASSEY (b.1838 d.1898) sp: Sara Virginia GODWIN (b.1842 m.2 Aug 1866 d.1911) +3. Simeon Columbus MASSEY (b.21 Jun 1870-GA) sp: Anna Allie BROOKS (b.16 Aug 1877-GA m.16 Jun 1898 d.15 Nov 1957- Muscogee County, GA) -4. John Edgar MASSEY (b.18 Jun 1913-Columbus,GA d.Columbus, GA) sp: Living FOUNTAIN (b.9 Jan 1922-Tift,GA) +5. John Edgar MASSEY (b.30 Oct 1951-Columbus,GA) sp: Kemis Deloris SONGER (b.11 Sep 1952-Columbus,GA m.2 Nov 1990) The following people were buried in the MASSEY family cemetery at what is today Ft. Benning, GA. The cemetery is located on Malones Range #22. When Fort Benning was created, it enveloped many cemeteries (57 in number) of Chattahoochee and Muscogee Counties. If the cemeteries are located in restricted areas, the first step is to make a phone call to the Range Division. Then, that office checks the calendar to see when the area will be free and clear from military exercises. Range Division, Directorate of Training at (706) 545-3474 At that point, a person from the Range Division will call you and set up a time and meeting place and the Contact will go with you to visit the cemetery. Don't just show up at the office, planning to go see the cemetery without advance scheduling. Visits MUST be cleared with the proper authorities first and put on the calendar.

Benning - mainly in Chattahoochee County. I have that info if anyone is interested. I have "History of Chattahoochee County, Georgia" by N.K. Rogers. This book is mainly a list of marriage, tax, Civil War soldiers, school and church records. In most cases all it gives you is the date and name, you would have to contact Chattahoochee County for copies of the records. I also have "Family Records Mississippi Revolutionary Soldiers" by Alice Tracy Welch, MISS Society D.A.R. It only has an Elizabeth MASSEY m Lazarus REEVES nr Petersburg, VA. Elizabeth was dau of Thomas MASSEY b. c 1756 d. after 1827. The other record in the book was where a David MASSIE m Margaret WILLS - descendant of a Thomas HOLDEN, SR. I purchased the book at a flea market for $5 and have offered to do look-ups for those researching lines in MS. I didn't find any of my or my hubbies lines, but have helped others to find clues to theirs. Hopefully, I haven't overwhelmed anyone with my limited info and do encourage you to share your MASSEY info. Whether it be the line that you found or any brick walls you can't scale. This is the place to share and ask for help. BTW, a quiet list doesn't help any of us.
