Thomas Lacy
Published accounts, including the Compendium of American Genealogy by Virkus, have confused Thomas Lacy, father and son, "Thomas Lacy, from Eng. to Va., 1702, m Ann Burnley."[1] This statement is now dis-proven. Thomas Lacy who married Phoebe Rice was the immigrant.[2] Subject of this profile, Thomas Lacy II, the son, was born in Virginia and married Ann Burnley. This is proved by a document written c. 1850 by Rev. William Sterling Lacy which recorded the words of "old William Rice" in about 1828 or 1829.[2] Rice definitely stated that Thomas Lacy was engaged to Miss Rice, daughter of Thomas Rice, in Wales, and then preceded (by a few years) the Rice family to Virginia, where the couple married.[2] "Old William Rice" was a grandson of the immigrant, Thomas Rice.[2]
I would like to see first hand knowledge for this information, William Sterling Lacy was not born yet then engagement or marriage happen.
Thomas was born c. 1684 at New Kent County, Virginia.[2] He was a son of Thomas Lacy and "Miss" Rice (possible given name Phoebe).[2] [3]
According to the record in a Bible which belonged to Rev. William Sterling Lacy, Thomas married in 1704/6 at new Kent County, Virginia to Ann Burnley (spelled "Ann").[2]
Authenticated records for these children of Thomas and Anne Burnley:[4][2]
Circumstantial evidence for these children:[4]
There certainly may have been other children, especially daughters, of whom we have no current knowledge.[4]
Thomas was a member of St. Paul's Parish in Hanover County. On September 24, 1708/9, the Vestry divided the parish into 39 precincts for the purpose of processioning the lands, and #18 consisted of the the lands of Haughton House, Thomas Lacy, Jeremiah Dumas etc.[5]
Hanover was formed from New Kent County in 1720-21, and St. Paul's Parish was then in Hanover County.[6] Not to be confused with the St. Paul's Parish of Stafford and King George Counties.
Thomas died c. 1727 at Manakin, Hanover County, Virginia.[citation needed]
Thomas was born in 1683. He passed away in 1727. [7]
