Son of David & Lucinda Plemmons Messer; husband of Margaret Robinson Messer.
Baptist Minister
Buried in Fisher Cemetery in Madison County
on November 21, 1928.
Death certificate gave approximate age as 69 at the time of his death; this would have placed his year of birth as 1859; this corresponds with the 1860 Census listing him as 8 months old that year. Grave marker lists date of birth as 1857.
His brother Johnnie Frederick Messer has a date of birth as March 17, 1857 on his Tennessee death certificate (Cocke County, 1932 # 25037) and was listed as being 2 years old in the same 1860 Census, so it is likely that Joseph's date of birth is incorrect.
