General Notes: Husband - Mordecai Massey

---

The Massey family originally lived in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Soon after the Revolution two brothers, Mordecai and Phineas, settled in the Spruce Creek Valley, Huntingdon County, where they built the first forge in Franklin township, some time before 1800. They sold out their interests to John Gloninger & Co., and Mordecai crossed Tussey's Mountain into Barree, and purchased a large tract of land in the Shaver's Creek Valley along the base of the mountain. Here he died at the age of ninety years.

He purchased a large tract of land in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania; it came to be known as Masseyburg.
