Biography
John Edward "Parson" Massey (April 2, 1819 – April 24, 1901) was from Albemarle County, Virginia and a member of the Democratic Party. He served as the 15th Lieutenant Governor of Virginia from January 1, 1886, until January 1, 1890.
A Baptist preacher, Massey considered himself the founder of the short-lived Readjusters.
He died, survived by his second wife, and was buried in Charlottesville's Oakhill cemetery. His autobiography appeared posthumously in 1909, edited by Elizabeth H. Hancock.
