Papers, 1776-1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36492112

Collection consists of two volumes. The first volume contains writings, including a meditation on a Bible passage, and a treatise by Massey, entitled "Christian Obedience. Its Obligations and Nature." The treatise takes up 94 leaves, and on the other sides of the leaves are written accounts and financial notes concerning Ash Lawn, the home of Pres. James Monroe that Massey later owned. The second volume contains vital statistics, genealogical data and news clippings compiled by Rev. Joseph Tinsley Massey, brother of John. Joseph married Catherine Prince Arnold of Charlestown, Mass, and accepted a call to the pastorate sometime later. The volume chiefly reflects the histories of the Arnold family and the Mass. branch of the Masseys.
