  • Birth*: 1591; Knutsford, Cheshire, England; per GEDCOM of James A. McKane, May 7, 2007.1
  • Marriage*: 25 May 1625; Parish of Wybenbury, England; Date May 25 1625 & location Parish of Wybenbury pg. 3, "History of the Massey Family" by Marian (Massey) Nicholson, 1961, copy provided to me by Lawrence, Massey, Morganston, Ont.per GEDCOM of James A. McKane, May 7, 2007.; Principal=Ellen Fox1,2
  • Death*: 9 November 1676; per GEDCOM of James A. McKane, May 7, 2007.1
  • Note*: before 1630; England; "Fourteen Generations Back: This historical sketch will deal chiefly with the Massey family in America, for whom data is available. The founder was Jeffrey (Geoffrey) Massey, son of Geoffrey, (p. 2) "who was born in Knutsford, Cheshire, England in 1591 ... According to the Cheshire marriage licenses, Geoffrey Massey was married to Ellen Fox, Hunterston, in the parish of Wybenbury on May 25, 1625. Six months later the young couple were charged before the Cheshire Diocesan Visitations with living in sin, an accusation arising out of the fact that Geoffrey and Ellen had been married by a dissenting minister whose right to perform the ceremony was not recognized by law. At a somewhat later date, Massey was again called before the churchwarden, this time for receiving the communion while seated instead of kneeling. Soon afterward the family departed for the New World." Geoffrey displayed the family characteristics as stated by Monroe: "The Massey family was for the most part a family of strong and resolute men." pg. 3, "History of the Massey Family" by Marian (Massey) Nicholson, 1961, copy provided to me by Lawrence, Massey, Morganston, Ont.2
  • Immigration*: 1630; Salem, Massachusetts, U.S.A.; "Voyage to America: Geoffrey and Ellen sailed April 1630in the fleet of ships conveying Governor Wintrop to Salem, New England. "Ten or eleven ships arrived in June making the passage in nine weeks duration. A public Thanksgiving was called for July 8, 1630." "Before Christmas seventeen ships had come to Salem bringing more than 1000 pasengers." The winter of 1630 was very hard for the settlers with wretched shelter and little food. Many died. "In 1631 the immigrants dropped to about 90, but in 1632 was up to 250." pg. 3, "History of the Massey Family" by Marian (Massey) Nicholson, 1961, copy provided to me by Lawrence, Massey, Morganston, Ont.2
  • Residence*: 1630; New World; "Father came of seven generations of pioneers, rugged farmers all of them. It was religious persecution which led Geoffrey Massey to the New World in 1630 and his Puritan convictions had been inherited by most of his descendants. Geoffrey had been born in Knutsford in the County of Cheshire in 1591, just three years after bonfires were lit to signal the defeat of the Armada. ... Geoffrey Massey and Ellen Fox had been married in 1625 by a dissenting minister, rebelling against the rigid Anglican conformity demanded by Archbishop Laud. What is more, they had received the Communion sitting instead of "reverently kneeling atte there owne churche." For this "fornication and blasphemy" Geoffery had spent a deal of time in the stocks." from pg. 5 of "When I Was Young" by Raymond Massey.
  • Residence: 1668; Salem, Massachusetts, U.S.A.; "First Generations in Massachusetts: Henceforth the name of our forebear appears as Jeffrey, Jeffery, Jefferery, Jefferie, and even Jeffy. "He was made a selectman and was granted a free parcel of land for valuable services". Minutes of meetings in the Board of Selectmen show that Jeffrey was given a good deal of responsibility - "to hear a case", ... "to lay out land", ... "to settle a land dispute", etc. "Jeffery Massey, Salem, was one of the first members of the church there: was clerk of the market 1642: had Hohn, born 1631, who by Dr. Bentley was called the first born male of the town; but Felt differs from that judgement, though the cradle in which he was rocked was long admired, and perhaps acknowledged as proof". Possibly we should say only that John was one of the first male children of the new settlement. He was made a freeman in 1668. Mrs. Levi Massey mentions a Bible having been presented to him in 1678. Its whereabouts is unknown." pg. 3, "History of the Massey Family" by Marian (Massey) Nicholson, 1961, copy provided to me by Lawrence, Massey, Morganston, Ont.2

The event was the fiftieth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Massey's marriage. About 75 friends and relatives assembled to celebrate the event. Twice that number were invited, but owing to the unfavorable condition of the roads, were unable to be present. A very ejoyable time was spent and everybody united in wishing the aged couple much joy on this happy occassion. After partaking of a very rich and sumptious repast, the preparing of which reflects much credit upon the ladies, addresses suitable to the occassion were delivered by Hart A. Massey, Esq., President of the Massey Manufacturing Compnay of Toronto; Rev. Mr. Balfourof Grafton; W. J. Massey, Esq., of Belleville; and O. W. Powell, Esq., of Cobourg."
