Elton,
My Lacy connection is through Martha Lacy, daughter of Luke and
granddaughter of "Squire" Benjamin Lacy, early 1800's. Martha married
Thompson Jones. I know Martha's birthdate, 5 Oct 1815, but not her date of
death. From court records, Thompson abandoned his children in or around
August 1850, yet Martha was listed in the census for that year. Not sure if
she was still in the picture in August, when the court awarded custody of
the children to Martha's sister Jane Carpenter.
There is also seems to be a strong connection between the Henderson's
of Christian Co. and the Lacy's. My John Henderson and wife Mary also came
from NC, and I believe they were also from Chatham Co. and they all lived
near Pilot Rock in Christian Co. KY.
So, what I am really trying to find out is if there was a connection
between the two families before they arrived in KY. I have not even
established for sure that the Chatham Co. Henderson's are my line, but the
family names would lead one to believe that there is a good chance that they
are.
