Biography

Isaac Massey, son of Samuel Massey and Catharine Farnsworth, was born on 22 April 1809 in Loudoun county, Virginia, [1] or on 20 April 1809 in Loudoun county, Virginia. [2]

Isaac was a witness to his sister Phebe's marriage in 1830 in Loudoun County, Virginia, thus he must have been at least 21 years old at that time. In 1831 and afterwards he bought land in Indiana together with other members of the Massey family. [3]

Isaac wed Elvira Alvira Hensley on 25 July 1840 in Independence, Jackson county, Missouri. [4] They had at least five children:

  1. Harvey Massey, b. 1841 in Missouri;
  2. Catherine Massey, b. 1843 in Missouri;
  3. Susan Louisa Massey, b. 26 Jul 1844 in Holt co., MO;
  4. Phineas Massey, b. 1847 in Missouri;
  5. Rebecca Massey, b. 1849.

In 1850 Isaac Massey is recorded as being 41 years of age, thus born about 1809, and living in Holt county, Missouri. [5] Isaac removed from Holt County, Missouri to Lane County, Oregon after the 1850 census and before 1861. In 1861 Isaac was already living in Lane county, Oregon; there in 1861 Isaac divorced his wife. Isaac and his son Phineas are listed in the 1870 Census of Lane County [6] and 1880 Census of Lane County. [7] Sylvester C. Massey, son of James Massey and grandson of James Massey of Chester County, Pennsylvania, was also in Lane County, Oregon at the same time.

Isaac Massey died on 28 December 1890 in Lane county, Oregon. [8] He was buried at Lone Pine Cemetery in London, Lane County, Oregon. The inscription on his gravestone reads: ISAAC MASSEY - BORN IN VIRGINIA APR. 22, 1809 - DIED DEC. 28, 1890. [9] [10]
