I just learned that Johnny Cash has MASSEY ancestry, and, I'm thinking other subscribers would also be interested in knowing about this. The Genealogy.com account has the descent from William Lawrence Massey (1814 - 1895) to Johnny. Generations 4-6 are from Judge Massey's ADDENDUM. A recent conclusion is that Arthur Massey is son of John (3) and grandson of Joseph (2) Massey of the Charles City Co., VA MASSEYs rather than being from a Phillip Massey of MD as Judge Massey had thought. It appears that I am an 8th cousin once removed of Johnny. Regards to all, Theron Smith Massey Ancestry of Johnny Cash 1 Richard Massey 1661 - 1702 +(?)
