MASSEY, DANIEL, improver, farmer, and manufacturer; b. 24 Feb. 1798 in Windsor, Vt, son of Daniel Massey and Rebecca Kelley; m. January 1820 Lucina Bradley, and they had three sons and seven daughters; d. 15 Nov. 1856 in Newcastle, Upper Canada.

The founder of the Massey farm-implement business, Daniel Massey was a member of the seventh generation of Masseys to have lived in America since the emigration from England of Geoffrey Massy about 1630. Daniel was brought to Upper Canada between 1802 and 1807, when his father began farming in Haldimand Township, on the north shore of Lake Ontario, near the site of present-day Grafton. The reasons why this branch of the family moved to Upper Canada are not clear.
