Berry Massey
Hello, I am researching the Massey's. My line is George Washington Massey (B) 1832 in NC I have reason to believe he is the son of the Berry Massey on the 1840 and 1850 census 40 Mecklenburg CO NC and 50 same place but the county changed to Union CO. He was married to Mary believed to be a Courtney.He died Nov 3 1850 in Union CO. NC, Mary remarried Eli Hamry and was on the 1860 census Union CO.
There is a Berry Massey in Henry CO. GA. who I also show on the 1840and 1850 in said Henry CO., in my research I have found the Elias Massey and Elizabeth Gatewood Massey had a son Berry Massey born in 1805 per her Rev. App that son and all other children but 1 had passed away. The one being Sarah Massey (B) 1801 she was Sarah Farmer in 1860 data, and the only living child. I am trying to confirm the Berry Massey Union CO. NC as the son of Elizabeth and Elias or prove that the Berry in GA is said son of Elias, would you and can you help me in this, it is a long 19 year search and I'm not getting any younger.
The Berry Massey in 1840 census Union CO. has 1 son under 5 (believed to be same son on 1850 Ambrose) age 10 in 1850 census and 1 son 5-10 believed to be my George Washington) family record in TN were GW went with is soon to be wife Sarah Catherine Burnett say they were childhood sweethearts and grew up in the same area of NC the above Berry Massey was not far from the Burnett's Sarah's parents.
Any help you can give would be of great use to me.
Thanks
