My most heartfelt thanks to my newly found cousins, Bev Gunther and the late Bill Massie Sr and his son
Bill Massie Jr, who with kindness and patience, introduced me to my ancestors. This, being the first line that I was able to follow through many generations, will be always be a special family to me.
The fact that this is the line of the most gentle, sweet, kind and influential lady I have ever met, my late Grandmother, Malinda Elizabeth (May)Thompson, makes it all the more a special family.
(Malinda's mother was Rulana Massie May)
"Gramma Thompson"
It is to her memory, that this page is dedicated with much love
The Massey/Massie Story
In this spot, as time permits, I will include a short synopsis of the Massey/Massie Family.
Hopefully, this will include both the American Branch(s) and the English origins of this family.
It might be noted here, that the change in spelling from Massey to Massie came approx. in the early 1800s, while the Massey/Massie family was making their way from the Greenbriar (West)Virginia area as the frontier moved ever westward, to the Ohio River area of Ohio and (West)Virginia and Kentucky.
This seems to be where the major portion of this family's branches seemed to settle, and for the most part still are to this day.
I will be placing a { } around the # of my direct line. My comments will be placed within [ ] symbols.
Family members with "*" beside their name will have stories on the "Family History Page" (coming soon).
Family members that have "**" beside their name will have a photo in the "Family Album"(This to come soon as time permits)
