He was on the 1840-50 DeSoto County, Miss. Census. He also had daughters. A J. M. Massey was on a list of men who took the Amnesty Oath in DeSoto Co., MS 1 Aug. 1865 (1865 Registration of the Names of Persons Who Have Taken the Amnesty Oath List No. 1, http://rootsweb.com/~msdesoto, accessed 16 Jul 2003)
