Here is a little bit of information I found in Judge Massey's book
regarding his grandmother's family:

Pages 127-128, Massey Genealogy, by Judge Frank Massey: Marion Lawrence
Massey, fourth child of Francis Marion (Frank) (wife Eliza Jane),
married twice: first Sarah Iza (Inez) Shackelford, mother of the
writer, and a younger son, John Roe (1913-1915); second Willie Mae
Neely, whose son was Marion Lawrence, Jr., b. May 17, 1932, an attorney
of Ft. Worth, TX. Of the maternal ancestry of Marion Lawrence, Sr., I
will take occasion to give the following information:

Mother, Eliza Jane Ferguson, was the daughter of John Andrew Ferguson,
orphaned, with two brothers, at an early age and reared by relatives
near Columbia, TN, who married Lucetta Frances Bell (daughter of Andrew
Bell who came to TX from near Columbia, TN in 1851. Bell brothers and
sisters, all believed to have been residents of Parker Co., TX, were:
Andrew, Tillman, Rufe, Joe, Mollie Lovett, Sarah Howard, and Nettie
Murphy). Children of John Andrew Ferguson (wife Lucetta) were George
Franklin (1849-1888) born in TN; John Andrew (1852-1926) born in TN;
Anne Maria, born Dallas Co., TX; Frances Elizabeth (1859-1920); Benjamin
Rufus (Bud), born 1858 and lived in Greenville, TX; Elijah Davis, twin
of Eliza Jane, b. 1861 and lived at Cedar Hill, Dallas Co., TX; Tillman
Lee, b. 1864, and lived in Dallas, TX; and Martha Ellen, b. 1867, who
lived at Cedar Hill.
