Biography

Massy was originally listed as the daughter of Asel and Elizabeth Poulson, based on a census record where she was living in what is likely an extended family, with Asel as head of household. But, Asel would have been 108 years old when she was born and Elizabeth 76. Given birth locations of the extended family, it is much more likely that son Greenberry and his wife, Melinda, were living with his parents, along with some of his siblings and his eldest daughter, Massy. However, there is no definitive proof of that, so additional sources would be helpful.
