Help Finding Real Death Date of Thomas Lackey, Sr.

Question

Thomas Lackey, Sr. has three profiles: Lackey-313, Lackey-524 and Lackey-782.  I am trying to merge them into one.  Death dates do not correspond.  Of the three, Lackey-313 has an 1814 death date and the others have 1801. 

Thomas's will is in Rockbridge Co., Va. Will Book 4, p. 63.  It was drawn 15 January 1814 and proven 3 October 1814.  In it he names wife Agness, son James and grandchildren Agness and Samuel, also Thomas and Nathan who appear to be sons.

Thomas's grave marker, according to Find a Grave
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/75891712/thomas-lackey

has the death date 1 Sep 1801 (no photo).   Where does this death date come from?

His son Thomas Lackey has dates 1755-1826.  So he's not the one.

Thomas Sr.'s wife was Agness Leech b. 1730 in Ireland and died 23 Sep 1814 in Rockbridge, Va.

Yours faithfully,

Margaret Summitt

Dear Margaret:

I believe I found what you are looking for and can send you a source.  I can send three pages, one of the front of the Lineagebook with the related pages.  I certainly hope this helps.  Almost forgot how, but will go to your page and ask to be on trusted list, and send to you.  Have been doing income taxes for a while and have to brush up on this again.
