I may have some helpful information for you.
I am researching the descendants of Leonard and Sarah Kimbrough Brown from VA/NC.I am now working on their son Thomas Brown who married Salley Morris in Orange County, NC in 1795.They had two children who married Masseys and moved from Caswell County, NC to Carroll County, TN.I have the following information that could be your family if the dates match:
Nathan Massey, b. 26-___-1806 d. 20-Sep-1873 m. Mary Brown (dau. of Thomas and Salley Morris Brown) b. 21-Jan-1807 d. 26-Feb-1868, both bur. Massey Cem., Carroll Co, TN.They had W. H. H. Massey (Conf. soldier), b. 18-May-1842 d. 29-Jul-1888 m. 1st) Mary E. Russel b. 28-Aug-1852 d. 24-May-1883 and m. 2nd) Narcissa E. Perry b. Apr-1856.W. H. H. and Mary E. are bur. in Massey Cemetery as well.
W. H. H. had 5 children by his first wife and 2 children by his second wife.There may have been more.But these are the only ones I know of:
Mary E. Massey b. 01-Oct-1871
W. N. Massey b. ca. 1873
Mary Areny Massey b. ca 1875
J. E. Massey b. ca 1877
Thomas E. Massey b. 18-Sep-1880
Otie Massey b. MAR-1886
Mary Alby Massey b. 24-Nov-1887
Could this be your family?From census info, I have a little more on W. N. Massey.He was b. ca 1873 and d. 1917 (bur. Massey Cem.).He married Eula ____.I have only one child--an infant son b. 04-Jul-1898 d. 04-Jul-1898.There may have been more children.I got this info from cemetery records.W. H. is buried near Eula and the child.Their marriage is unconfirmed.
Do you have more date information you can share?Two of W. H. H.'s brothers died in the Civil War.I have more info on this family if this is your group.There was an uncle in Caswell County who died intestate.All the Carroll County family inherited.I have a copy of the estate administration and it names a jillion of the Massey, Rice, and Brown children/grandchildren, etc.
I would love to hear from you.I am looking for descendants of Thomas and Salley Morris Brown.
