Thanks for sharing this..!! June has done a masterful job separating the two Massies. I've added a two cents to each one. Just in case some are out there who are just beginning a MASSIE search. There are two different Massie families discussed below. Not unusual; but for a long time, some combined them into one man. Had they tracked their children, they would have realized; but many are too willing to accept a swift appraisal. This deed below is between Thomas Massie of New Kent Co, VA. After New Kent was divided, his estate was probably in Hanover Co. This Thomas Massie was the famous MAJOR Thos. Massie, who served with Washington and was, reportedly, at the Crossing of the Delaware, which we've heard about. The Marriages which follow the deeds, are for another Thomas Massie. They were born about the same time, they both lived fairly close together. Both lived on land on or near Goose Creek at some point. Then both lived on or near the Shenandoah River in (now, Warren Co, VA.) But living in Warren Co. area (Old Fred. Co.) wasn't simultaneous. Both were Millers and farmers. > Fauquier Deeds > > 31 Dec. 1772/1 Jan 1773. Lease & release.
