Biography

William De Lacey was a planter on Exploit Bay Island, in 1820^[1]. From the birth record of his daughter Susannah, we see he was married to a Mary.

Notes

Poorly sourced online trees have several conflicting family trees for the children listed here as William and Mary's. In particular, several trees have a Thomas R Lacey married to a Susannah as the parents. Close inspection shows too many improbable details (including multiple records of births and deaths in Tennessee and Iowa, USA) for this Thomas and Susannah to be seriously considered, and I've merged those profiles away.

Of the remaining trees, most have Mary's maiden name as 'Sceviour'. This suggests she was the Mary Lacey nee Sceviour, attested as the daughter of William Sceviour in his will. I've done my best to sort of who was married to whom, and who was whose parent. But most of these connections among William and Mary's family are highly speculative --- BRF.
