3 Mar. 1745	Queen Anne's Co., Maryland: Deed: James and Peter and Nicholas Massey to Peter Massey Jr.: Peter Massey, Jr. of Kent County in Maryland for 6,200 pounds of tobacco buys a 140 acre tract of land called Johnson's Adventure with Massey's Hazard from Peter Massey, Sr., planter, and wife Jane (Jean), Nicholas Massey, planter, and wife Katherine, and James Massey and wife Rachel.  Witnesses: James Brown, and H. Wells, Jr.  Acting for the Crown: [illegible] Tilghman. [Note: the junior Peter is 73.Peter Massey - text added by GL,III, ed.]	3
Note	This looks like a Deed from his father, 2.James Massey, and his two uncles, 49.Peter Massey and 51.Nicholas Massey, to 3.Peter Massey.[Ed.] [Note: The deed above specifically distinguishes 73.Peter Massey, Jr. and 3.Peter Massey, Sr., but 51.Nicholas and 2.James do have the two wives named in the above deed; on the other hand, 3.Peter's wife Jane (Jean) is above mentioned in this deed for the first time to my knowledge - GL,III, ed.]
28 June 1748	Q.A. Co.: Deed: Peter Massey to John Sugar (Seegar): John Seegar, mariner, of Queen Anne's County in Maryland for 55 pounds buys a 100 acre tract of land called Johnson's Adventure from Peter Massey, carpenter, and wife Mary.  Witnesses: James Brown, and H. Wells, Jr.  Acting for the Crown: Al. Tilghman. [Note that the common land parcel, Johnson's Adventure, in the two deeds above ties the 73.Peter Massey, Jr. in the former 1745 deed to the 73.Peter Massey and wife Mary in the present 1748 deed, because the senior Peter Massey's wife is named Jane (Jean) in the former deed - text added by GL,III, ed.]	4
10 May 1755	Q.A. Co.: James Massey is named in the Will of his father, 2.James Massey.	8
1759	Q.A. Co.: The Will of his father 2.James Massey was probated.	9
Note	Judge Massey notes: "He was probably oldest son. His letter in probate papers consents to brother John's Executorship. Use of the term "Friend" could indicate that he had become Quaker."[Ed.]	2
