Life

Alfred Madison Massengale was born on 20 October 1814, according to the FamilySearch tree, which places his birth in Coosa County, Alabama, gives no source and does not name his parents; his surname appears in the records as Massengale, Massingale, Masingale, Masingall and Massengill.1 Annie Norman's genealogy of the Maxwell family and its allied families (1956) gives his full name, as "Allred Madison Massengale."2 Inference Allred is probably a misprint for Alfred, the name in every other record.2 On 20 December 1838 Alfred Masingall married Emily Bullard in Alabama, and the tree records her death in 1839.3

On 6 December 1840 he married Emilla McAdory, the widowed Emily R. McKinney, a daughter of Harris McKinney, in Coosa County.4 Two derivative accounts of her family name him as her second husband: the Memorial Record of Alabama (1893), in sketches written about her son and her son-in-law, and Annie Norman's genealogy.5 The tree names nine children of the marriage, born between 1841 and 1854, the eldest named Harris McKinney Massengale.6 According to the Memorial Record, Emily "was married a second time, to Alfred Massengale, emigrated to Texas."7 By 1860 the family had moved to Texas: the census of that year lists A. M. Massingale, with Emely, in the Western District of Milam County.8 Emily died there on 6 August 1861, according to the tree; the Memorial Record gives her death once as 1861 and once as 1858.9 Inference The census of 1860, which lists her alive in Milam County, rules out 1858.9

The tree records a third marriage, in 1867, to Caroline Henner Lovelace, who died in 1873, without a source.10 The census of 1870 recorded A. M. Massengill in Milam County.11 He died at Jones Prairie, Milam County, on 31 July 1874 and was buried there in August.12 The Texas death record of Mary Massengale McKinney, who died in 1956, names her father as Alfred M. Massengale.13 Inference The tree does not list her among his children; if she was his daughter, she was most likely a child of the third marriage, born after 1867.13 His family is treated in a published genealogy, Helen Rogers Skelton's Rogers-Skelton and Allied Families (Baltimore: Gateway Press, 1987), which is attached to his profile.14
