Notes for JOSEPH W MARSEE, SR:
Bill Massey II (Mar 8, 2005)
First, with your "5 Joseph W. Marsee Sr.," as mentioned earlier, this is apparently Joseph2 (Richard1), born c.
1686/91, noted as "of Prince George County, Virginia," in a 7 July 1726 Brunswick County, Virginia, Land
Patent [Book 12:534], with will dated 19 Aug 1760, proved 26 May 1761, Brunswick County, Virginia.
[Greensville County was not formed from Brunswick until 1780]. Elizabeth, second wife of Joseph2, c. 1730, is
roundly referred to as Elizabeth "Washington," a granddaughter of John Washington, who was of the George
Washington family. But, investigation has shown that this Elizabeth died unmarried as is stated on her
gravestones. [Starr/Hough Collection, Lancaster County, South Carolina, Library Archives.] Though Elizabeth
Massey was literate, rare during these times, we’ve found no record of her maiden name.

ELIZABETH WASHINGTON LANIER105.
Notes for JOSEPH W MARSEE:
In early documents the name Massey was spelled with an "fs" for the double s, like Mafsey, Mafsy, etc. The first
appearance it makes spelled like Marsee is on an 1809 Knox County tax list of Joseph & Thomas "Marsey."
Variations were made on other documents such as deeds and marriage records for example: Robert George's 1877
marriage certificate says R.G. "Massey", but his 1927 death certificate says George Marsee. In the 1850 Knox
County census records you can find our relatives listed as "Marsee", in 1860 listed as Massey and in 1870 they
returned again to Marsee. In 1810 a land grant was made out to Joseph Mafsey, in 1858 when his son, Thomas,
sold his share of the land he states that this is the same land of his father, Joseph Marsee, deceased. Again, this
provides the proof that the change did take place in early Knox County, Kentucky.
Though not proven yet, it is widely accepted that Joseph, Jr. and Thomas were brothers and both sons of Joseph,
Sr.
Note from David S. Rains, Charlotte, North Carolina. He is an author of his family history and a knowledgeable
researcher of these families in Knox/Bell Countys Kentucky.
Dear Donna:
The bulk of my research has been in the Rains, Turner, Whitaker and Sykes lines, which are my direct lines. I
have not concentrated on the Massey/Marsee lines since Trecia Northrup and several others had written books
about them. However, I have seen research that indicates Joseph Massey to be the son of Joseph Massey and
Elizabeth Lee. I have always accepted that to be the truth as far as we can establish it. There are written records of
Joseph Massey in Tennessee and Knox, Kentucky, of course. My ancestor, Henry Rains, appraised Joseph
Massey's estate, I believe about 1810, so Joseph was an old man by then. I think he was born in Virginia about
1728. I base part of my conjecture on the way he named his children. It appears he named many after his siblings.
He had siblings named John, 1719; Sarah, 1721; Amey, 1722; Thomas, 1730; Agnes, 1731; Lucy, 1736; Frances,
1738; Rebeccah, 1725. I also believe that because his mother was a Lee, he may have had a blood connection to
Henry Rains, 1767-1838. Henry Rains was half brother to eight Lee siblings from the marriage of his mother,
after his father John Rains died, to Captain Thomas Lee. Elizabeth Lee may have been part of the Thomas Lee
and Mary Ingram Rains family, or connected some way to John Lee, Esquire, Captain Thomas Lee's father. My
book is called "Henry Rains, Esquire." 1700-1786. "Some of his descendants." I am attaching, as a Word
document, a copy of the rough draft for you to look at. Let me know what you think, and give me any suggestions
you want to. I hope you buy my book "Kentucky Bad Boy," which is available on Amazon.com It is a book of
short stories about growing up in the Appalachian Mountains, written from the perspective of an 8 year old boy. It
was published by Barnes & Noble. It has gotten some good reviews, but wont be available in book stores until
2002. Go to Amazon.com and look it over. Tell me what you think if you get it. Thanks! David
Bill Massey, II (Mar 8, 2005)
Joseph2’s son, Joseph3, [as mentioned to you earlier] was one of three sons by Joseph’s first wife whom we’ve
not been able to name (earliest Virginia county records are extremely sparse). Born before 1730, he was
unmarried (no wife released dower) when, 27 Jun 1757, he disposed of 200 acres (signed "X") that his father had
given him on Cattail Creek, Brunswick County, Virginia. Although the signatures do not match, it is possible that
this Joseph is the same man who purchased 25 acres in Granville-Orange-Johnston Cos., North Carolina, some
time before 1761 when he first appeared on the Granville tax lists. The land was north of the Neuse River in the
immediate neighborhood of the Horse Creek area where Joseph3's brother John3 bought 50 acres in 1768 (four
years after Joseph left). Joseph had sold his 25 acres on 21 Sep 1764, signing the deed with a "." From the deed,
he was living in Johnston County, North Carolina, at the time.
Massey Genealogy 2000, p. 84
Joseph3 Massey, son of Joseph2 and his first wife. His birth date is not know because we do not know when his
sisters were born.275 On 27 June 1757, he sold 200 acres on Cattail Creek to William3 (Richard2) Massey,276
signing the deed with an "X"; one of the witnesses was Joseph3's half-brother Thomas (who signed his name), and
another was an Elizabeth Massey who signed with an "M" as her mark. Since Joseph2's wife signed her name to
the estate inventory, this Elizabeth (M) appears to have been a different lady -- Joseph3's half-sister Betty

perhaps, or his half-brother William3's wife Elizabeth Rives. Joseph3 himself was not married at this time, for no
wife released dower on the deed (Elizabeth the witness was not his wife, for a wife would not have witnessed a
sale by her husband since she could not testify for or against him if something came up about the deed that
required a lawsuit). Since there is no deed of purchase for the tract, we assume Joseph2 had given it to Joseph3
without registering a deed for the the gift, a supposition strengthened by the fact that Joseph3 was given only a
few shillings in his father's will, indicating that he had already received his inheritance.

Notes for WILLIAM MARSEE:
Bill Massey, II (Mar 8, 2005)
William3 (Joseph2, Ruchard1), first son by Joseph2 and Elizabeth, was, along with his brother Thomas3,
executor of Joseph2’s 1760 will, so both were born by 1739. William was clearly the older of the two (he was
already "in possession" of the land Joseph willed him), and allowing about two years between his birth and
Thomas’ we can say that William was born in or before 1737, say 1732/37. William moved to the Waxhaws,
Lancaster County, South Carolina, by 1774, and appeared in the 1790 Lancaster census with his sons Henry and
James.
William3 had four sons who also had William-sons:
Joseph4 (1773–1826, South Carolina)’s son William Henry m. Sarah Montgomery, d. 1865, in Mississippi
Henry4's son William5, b. 1802, m. Martha "Patsey" Heath
James4‘s son William5 G., b. 11 Dec 1807, d. 20 Mar 1841, Waxhaws, South Carolina
Benjamin4's son William5 (6 Dec 1800–27 Sep 1804)
William4's son William5, b. c. 1765, Brunswick County, Virginia, m. Betty Marshall, moved to Rutherford
County, Tennessee.

Notes for RICHARD MASSEY, JR.:
Massey Genealogy 2000, p. 11
First mention of Richard Massey [Sr.] in the Wake [Co., NC] records was a county court order for him and a large
number of his neighbors to lay out a road from Robert Read's store on the Neuse River to Wake Court House.
("Reads Store" is still a small communitiy west of Raleight.) This order, issued toward the end of the June
session 1771, was not compiled with, and a second, more successful order was issued at the next court session in
September. By June 1771, therefore, Richard was recognized as a resident of Upper Bartons Creek. His holdings
straddled what is today the border between Wake and Durham (formed from a part of Wake and adjoining Orange
and Granville in 1881) Counties. Richard Sr.'s land was north of Crabtree Creek, sourth of the Neuse River, and
lay near the western border of Wake in the area watered by Upper Bartons Creek, Great Lick Creek, and Littel
Lick Creek. Most of what he owned is now covered by the ever-expanding housing developements of suburban
Raleigh.
