DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Henry by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Henry:
At this point, I do not believe the Henry Massey attached to this profile can be the son of Henry Massey, Sr., but the lack of probate records in Fayette County is a bear. We know at least one of the younger Henry's in Fayette Co. in 1830 was a son of Robert because he named him in his will. A source for "Nancy" Dixon is much needed because of the Dixon line so close in Pennsylvania/Delaware. I'm nearly convinced the attached son Henry is from this Massey line somehow, but he needs miles of work. His wife was a Virginian so he likely was also. If Massey-4516 was married to a Nancy Dixon, it seems like she'd be kin to George Dixon who sold Jeptha land in Greenbrier. George's son Henry Dixon married a Polly Massey.
Massey-4516 and Massie-270 are not ready to be merged because: These profiles need primary sources to determine if they are, or are not, the same. Both profiles name the same wife. Massie-270 is incorrectly attached to family, proven by the will of Massie-1508 (the correctly attached Henry Massie).
Massey-4516 and Massie-270 appear to represent the same person because: These profiles appear to represent the same Henry Massey who married Nancy Dixon.
I think this is a good place for an un-merged match. These profiles need primary sources to determine if they are, or are not, the same. Both DO name the same wife, and it is probable there was more than one child born to this couple. Massie-270 is incorrectly attached to family, proven by the will of Massie-1508 (the other attached Henry Massie, who died without direct descendants, so named many other members of that family).
