Hello MASSEY/MASSIE Researchers, I am looking for the parents of William MASSEY or MASSIE who was probably born about 1809 or 1810 in Kentucky (United States), possibly Nicholas County. This may have been the part of Nicholas County that later became Robertson County. He was first married to Catherine CAMPBELL in 1833, and had four or five children: 1. Nathan B. MASSEY, born 21 June 1836. 2. Elizabeth Jane MASSEY, born 1838. 3. Lucretia MASSEY, born 1840. 4. Rebecca Ann MASSEY, born 1842. 5. Catherine, born about 1846 (not sure if she was Catherine's daughter or not-- does anyone know?) His wife, Catherine, died (I am also looking for her date and place of death and where she might be buried) and he married a second time to Henrietta in 1846. They had more children, (Catherine?), John, Maria, Mary E., Margaret Ellen, Robert W., and Sarah A. I have census records for William MASSEY or MASSIE or MACY in 1840, 1850, and 1860 in Nicholas County, Kentucky, and 1870 in Robertson County. He must have died before 4 June 1880 because "Henreta" (it's hard to read) MASSEY, age 54, is either widowed (or divorced) on the 1880 Census in Robertson County, Mitchells Mills Precinct. Would any of you MASSEY researchers have some ideas about William's parents? or more information about Catherine CAMPBELL MASSEY? Does anyone know of marriage records or death dates or burial places for anyone in this family? Thank you, s a g e @ c w o . c o m

Maybe: Peter(1); William(2); William(3); Hugh (4); John(5); William (6) b. 1810 m/ Henrietta RICKETTS. Theron Smith.
