I don't have a lot to go on, just a lot of first names and last names that may or may not be related. But if anyone has any information they are willing to share I would so appreciate hearing from them. Grandpa Lee's parents may have been Robert (Bob) Massengill (could be spelled lots of ways) and Sarah Overbay (could be Overbee, Overbey) or Sarah Percell/Parcell. I have some old letters from my aunt that says Lee's grandma was Nellie Overbee. That she raised him after Robert was killed in a construction explosion where he worked. Lee was just an infant and Sarah, his mother, took him from Rogersville (where he was supposed to have been born) to her mother, Nellie Overbee. Nellie lived on Clinch mountain. Sarah didn't live much longer then that and Nellie ended up raising him. Looking for Nellie I come up with the 1830 hawkins Co census where a Nellie Overbee, 12-years-old is living with Nicholas Tartar and his family. And to mix all this up even more I was contacted a few years ago by a woman that said her grandmother was Nellie Overbee and Her mother Isabell Hensley Overbee married to Stephen Overbee was family. I never heard from her again. thanks to all that have read this.
