Peter Massey (2) By family
tradition, he is the 1644 Grantee of a 20,000 acre tract in Kent County,
Maryland, called "Massey's Venture." By family tradition he is the
descendant of the family, "Massey, Lords Clarina," of County Chester,
England. As my researches have to date produced not a hint of
verification of these family traditions, it is my opinion that ultimate
verification is almost totally unlikely.

Mace Family: Dorchester County,
Md. (3) There are several
links between this Dorchester County "Mace"
family and my Kent Co-Queen. Anne's County "Massey" family; suggesting
that these
two families have come from a common source. In fact it appears
reasonably probable that further research will confirm the
relationship and eventually identify our true immigrant Massey
ancestor.
