The name Massey may also be spelt Massy.

General Hugh Massey had a military command to repress the Irish rebellion of 1641.
He married in about 1655, Margaret Percy and had a son Hugh (born ca 1658) of
Duntrileague, Co Limerick, Ireland. From his marriage to Amy Benson in about 1684,
he had four sons and two daughters of which:

One son, William Massey (ca 1695-1768), of Clougharnold, Co Limerick, bought
Stoneville, Rathkeale, Co Limerick from Hon Henry Southwell, MP in 1751 where he
then lived. He married Anne (ca 1696-1774), daughter of John Bentley of
Hurdlestown, Co Clare.

The youngest son Charles was Dean of Limerick. His son Hugh Massy (born 1685)
was the father of Hugh Massy 1st Baron.

Of William and Anne's eight children, Elizabeth Massey (born about 1720) married
Charles Minchin of Woodville and Ballygibbon, Co Tipperary, and son of Edward
Minchin.
