While doing other research on the Blue Ridge Railroad, I came across records of the Massie family in Nelson County located at the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond. Those of you doing this research probably already know of these documents, but just in case.
I was researching this: Peyton, Aquila Johnson, 1837-1875.
Diary, 1859 January 1-1861 July 30.
Manuscripts
Mss5:1 P4683:1
Hope this might be of help to someone.
