My dear Sir -
Yours addressed to me at Chautauqua reached me here today-
There were two different families of Messinger and Messengers - living in Peterboro NY when my father was a boy. Our family never changed the e to an i as you state.
I have the genealogy and it was compiled by the Boston branch of the family and all the names spell the name with an i.
You were misinformed where any one told you that my grandfather and great uncle changed it - they certainly never did. Our Great grandfather who died in the early part of the 19th century has it spelled with an i on his tombstone.
You will find two copies of the genealogy in the library of the Educational Bldg in Albany - the body of each is practically the same and the name is spelled with an i in both.
We are descended from Sir Henry Messinger who settled in Boston prior to 1640. One of the family has a portrait in Fanueil Hall Boston.
The sons of the family I spoke of as living in Peterboro when to Chi (?) and manufactured paper bags when I was a girl and my father who was a miller bought of them - they sometime after that changed the spelling to the same way I spell it.
There are two Rev. Messengers in the Christian Ch. One a missionary on the foreign field. They came from Ohio and there are still people in Ohio - but I can't name the towns who spell the name with an e.
I do not find the name Brousou in my copy of the genealogy - I do not think that the e family is at all related to the i family. There is also an e family in Baraboo Wisc.
The Messinger genealogy is very incomplete after 1850 but it seems to have the family pretty well recorded to that time.
