I cannot vouch for the accuracy, but his father was John Massey b. 1720 and his mother was Sarah Strong. Jeptha married Mary Sowards and 13 children are listed: Lana, Mary, Hanna, Robert, Moses, Jeptha Jr., Thomas, Alexander, Reuben, Abigail, William, Henry and Jonathan. You may already know this, but I thought I would post it anyway.<< FWIW, Judge Massey shows this family as being of the Nicholas Massey of Maryland branch. Theron Smith
