Hi; Lincoln Massey was the grandfather of my step-father. He was from Boone Co, WV; but his son Abe(Dad's) father lived in Raleigh Co and married Della Sparks. In the 1880 Boone Co census is the following: Wilmoth Massey, age 54; children: Ellen, 21; Alice, 16; Lincoln, 14; and William, 12 (Does anyone know if Wilmoth is a man's or womans' name?) In 1910 (Boone Co)- Lincoln Massey, age 43; wife-Sarah, age 29; children: Oliver, age 18; Edgar, 17; Diddle, 14; Aubri, 10 In 1920 (Boone or Raleigh Co)- Lincoln Massey, age 63; wife-Sarah, age 40. A big age difference in 1910 and 1920, but I think it's the same person because I havn't found another Lincoln Massey anywhere. In 1920, I am not sure if this Sarah is his first wife Sarah with him. His second wife was Sarah Blankenship. I don't know when he left the first Sarah and married Sarah Blankenship. If anyone has anything on this Massey family, please email me. I have been looking for him for my step-dad and my half-siblings for quite a while now.... :) Thank you, Gracie -- Genealogy Sites: Mine: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1322/ Norfolk Co, VA: http://members.spree.com/sip/graciestover/norfolk/index.htm Gilmer Co, WV: http://www.rootsweb.org/~wvgilmer/ West Virginia Coal: http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvcoal/ ************************************************* Mailing Lists: Stovers: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1322/stovemail.html Allens: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Ranch/1322/allen/mail.html Norfolk Co, VA: http://members.spree.com/sip/graciestover/norfolk/index.htm Gilmer Co, WV:http://www.rootsweb.org/~wvgilmer/ ************************************************* Gracie's World: http://www.graciesworld.com Arts and Crafts: http://www.graciesworld.com/arts.html FREE Home Office: http://www.myfreeoffice.com/gracie/ FREE Web Lotto: http://ez-lotto.com/playticket.cgi?M9760"
