Massey of Denfield

Question

I am trying to trace the line of a Richard Massey, who was the last  (9th) born child of George Massey and Bridget Pershall of Staffs. born May1665.. 

George Massey of Denfield died in 1666, aged 36. ? and is buried at St Mary, Rosthenre. Cheshire.I am not sure who the father of this George was. The marriage Indenture, seems to indicate that William Massey of Audlem was his father.
