Anne Pettypool m. Richard Massey.
Ann Pettypool married Richard Massey, son of Hezekiah and Elizabeth Massey
of Brunswick Co. The births of several children were recorded in the Bristol
Parish Vestry Book, namely, Ann (b. 1722), Sarah (b. 1723), the twins John
and Richard (b. 1725) and Tabitha (b. 1729). The children listed in the will
of Richard (1739) were sons William (b. bef 1721), (H)Ezikiah, John, Richard,
and daughters Martha (b. bef. 1721), Sarah and Tabitha (25) Daughter Ann must
have died prior to 1739.
Richard and Ann Massey purchased 126 acres of land from John Stroud and
Joseph and Sarah Stroud on Mocossoneck Creek in 1724 (26). They sold this
land in 1727 (27). William and Martha Massey were older children of Anne and
Richard and they inherited land on Mocossoneck Creek from their grandfather,
William Pettypool in 1726.
In roughly 1730, Richard and Anne Massey lived on Beaverpond Creek,
Brunswick Co. on the Roanoke River in present day Greensville Co., VA, at the
home place of Richard Massey's father, Hezekiah. Seth Pettypool, Ann Massey's
brother, also lived for a time (c1735-43) in Brunswick Co. near his recently
widowed sister (28). Ann Pettypool Massey died in 1770 in Greensville Co., VA
and named sons John, Richard, William and Hezekiah Massey, daughters Martha
Moore, Tabitha Massey and Sarah Jones in her will (29). Much information on
this line is available in a series of books on Massey by Judge Frank Massey
(30).
