Fellow Searchers, is there anyone with knowledge of the decendants of Jobe Massey in 1860 Newton County, Ms. He is a very good possibility for the Grandfather of my John H. Massey. I think he and the other Massey men left Newton Co., Ms. before 1870. There aren't any Masseys' on the 1870 Census of Newton Co., Ms. Where did they go? Anna

What does 1860 Newton County, Ms say about Jobe/Job and his family - ates, places of birth, etc. Need to look in all 1870/1880/1900 for Job/Jobe Masseys. Need to find John H. Massey in any census and determine, if possible, neignboring Masseys and where they were from. Theron Smith.
