10.James Massey: Children

Earlier Massey historians have told us something of the children of this James Massey, but they have left gaps in the record that to date we have been unable to fill.  Let me first review what has been said: Dr. W.F. Massey wrote: "... Major James Massey (James the fifth of Queenstown) left no male heirs, his daughter marrying into the Stevens and Seley[sic] families.:(1) George Massey wrote:  "Major Massey of Queenstown was a brother of Elizabeth.  Major Massey left no sons but several daughters.  One daughter married James Seager, near Centerville; one married _______ Stevens, a merchant of Centerville; another married _______ Boyd, of Baltimore."(4) James Massey, in his 8 Dec. 1842 Will, refers to daughters Louisa Ann and Frances; also to grandson James _______;" also to another grandson Thos. Jas. Seegar.(3)

Spouses of two of the daughters of 10.James Massey have been identified: 98.Frances Massey, b. 20 May 1799, m. John Perry.(2) 100.Louisa Anna Massey, b. 3 Mar.1805, (2) m. William Stevens.(5)

But, the precise identification of the spouses and children of 97.Sarah Massey and 99.Julia Anna Massey remain open for other researchers.
