I am interested to know if the three MASSEY's listed as Pallbearers at the funeral of Mrs. Merle Hunt Bond, are related to the MASSEY lineage of JOSEPH MASSEY who lived in Attala Co., MS during the 1830's, 1840's, and 1850's? He was born - January 09, 1809 in Buncombe Co., NC and died in 1887 in Lampasas Co., Texas He was married to: (1) CATHERINE RAY - B-1811; D-April 05, 1848, Attala Co. MS She may have been buried in the Doty Springs Cemetery (2) LOUISA MARGARET EMMA SMITH - B - February 28, 1830 D - July 24, 1911 Please contact me if you have information that will connect the three MASSEY PALLBEARERS to Joseph Massey.
