Thomas Massey

Thomas Massey (1664-1708) was an English-American Quaker landowner. He traveled on the Endeavor sloop from England to Pennsylvania and arrived in Philadelphia on September 29 1683, when he was 19. A poor man, he became an indentured servant to wealthy Quaker landowner, Francis Stanfield. He married Phebe Taylor in 1692, and needed some land, so he bought 50 acres of land in 1697 from Standfield on which the Thomas Massey House would be built. Unfortunately, Massey died in 1708, right after his house was completed. On his deathbed, he willed his eldest son, Mordicai "my house and plantation with all my land lying in Marple Township-to him and his heirs and assigns forever..."
