Did you Ever Set Up iCloud Messages? If so, enable Messages in iCloud on another device associated to this same Apple Account. See if they then show up. Overview: Keep all your Messages in iCloud - Apple Support


On a Mac:

  1. Open: Messages
  2. Go to: Messages menu (top of screen)
  3. Select: Preferences...
  4. Select: @ iMessage (middle tab)
  5. Uncheck: Enable Messages in iCloud
