Scope of this Book.
As
noted in the Preface to this book; my book is limited to two strictly
defined areas:
Missouri
|
The
life
and
career
of
6.Benjamin
Franklin
Massey, 1811-1879, who emigrated
from Maryland to Missouri in 1831. And to descendants of his ten
children in Missouri and beyond. Researched mainly by Lou Hough and
myself.
|
Maryland
|
Kent
Co.
&
Queen
Anne's
Co.:
The
descendants
of
1.Nicholas Massey,
d.1726 (earliest) proven ancestor of 6.B. F. Massey,
until branches of
the family emigrants to various areas of the U. S., other than
Misssouri. Researched jointly by Judge Massey, Lou Hough and
myself. I have limited the scope of my book in this manner in
order not to infringe on Judge Massey's works.
|
|
Judge Massey's Domain.
While
my
researches
have
been
limited
to
the
Missouri
and Maryland
areas described above; Judge Massey's researches and publications on
the Massey family cover all the States of the U.S. and many areas in
Great Britain and Europe.
|
When the descendants of any
1.Nicholas Massey emigrate from
Maryland to other States, they leave
the scope of my book and enter the domain of Judge Massey.
|
The purpose of this Appendix IX
is to identify the members of several of these Massey groups that
migrated from Maryland into other States.
