Hello! Has he considered testing his DNA? Sometimes you can break down a brick wall by finding people who match with DNA. I have searched my own family for connections in Ireland as the last name was shown to be spelled Massy here in the United States. I also have a close DNA match with a Coman (Comyn) who is not sure of their origins either. I know that some Comyn's settled in Ireland as well as a couple Massy families. The one that I am interested in is the one's from Killakee area and a Hugh Massy who married into the Clarinda line. I have no proof as of yet to any connections but hope something will open up with DNA. My family has been here for 11 or 12 generations. One curious thing my second cousin told me is that we are related to a Massy/ Massey line from Canada and they have been proven to be related to the Hugh Massy line mentioned above.(?connection with immigrant Peter Massey, not yet proven) He said that we use to go to the Massy/ Massey Ferguson family reunion's at Garfield Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. I even have a reunion photo. The other postulation is that we are related through the Massey's from Isle of Man and a Nicholas Massey.
