Peter Massie was born August 29, 1718 in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent, Virginia [1]
There is evidence in New Kent County, Virginia public birth records that an Ann Massie is the mother of Sylvanus Massie born 08 Apr 1738. The spouse of Ann Massie, and father of Sylvanus is indicated as being Peter Massie. [2] Ann's (b 1722) maiden name is unproved but said to be Raymond. [3] An Ann Massie is listed in the St Peter's parish records and we have a public record that indicates an Ann Massie is the mother of Sylvanus Massie, son of Peter Massie.
The record contains the following:
baptized May 21, Silvanus son of Peter and Ann Massie, born April 8, [4]
This information below from a 1906 issue of William And Mary College Quarterly, also provides additional evidence that Peter Massie was married to an Ann.
