Posted on: Freestone County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Freestone/10554 Surname: Massey ------------------------- I checked the Freestone County History Books Vol 1 & 2 and found the following Masseys: Vol 1 John Massey Sr b.1/3/1859 MS d,10/2/1944 Winkler, Freestone Co. TX lived in Wortham, married (1)Elizabeth Kirkpatrick, (2)Mary Bounds of Pisgah Ridge. John and Mary moved to Winkler-St. Elmo area. They had 7 children: Marion, William, Frank (=Myrtle Steele),John Thomas (=1st Lura Bell Burleson, =2nd Letha Mae Brunson), Mary Jane(=Steve Carlisle), Pearl (=Dexter Beauchamp)and Allie (=James Brinkley Carlisle.) Vol 2 Lists this same John w/bdate1/23/1859 as son of James H. Massey =1/24/1839 in Washington Co, AL to Susannah Shoemaker. This James H. was the son of Drury Massey. Also listed in Vol 2 is the newspaper man Ralph Massey. The article states that he was came from Mills County, Tx. I hope this helps.
