Macy/Macey

Posted by David Macey <poteez@aol.com> on Tue, 22 Sep 2009, in response to Macy Genealogy, posted by Donovan Robinson on Sun, 21 Jun 2009

I too am interested in this. I have traced my ancestors back to Chilmark and I also agree that the name Macey came from Macy and that in turn developed from Mascy (as in Hamos de Mascy). However, there is a huge gap in time between about 1200/1300 and 1500/1600. I think part of the problem is the different spelling of the name. Macey, Macy, Massey, Massy, Meysey, Maysie, Masci, Mascy etc. I have been informed though that this is normal as names differed depending on who wrote them down. Massey is an English spelling, Masci a latin variation etc.
Any further info would be excellent.
