Currently researching the LACEY (or Lacy) family from New York, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas and California.
Sanford Lacey was born in New York (Possibly Livingston County) about 1820. He died abt 1855 possibly in Michigan. I believe he appears in the 1830 U.S. census.
He married Lousia PARMELEE born abt 1824 died after 1900 in Kansas. They had six children:
Edward D. Lacey born 1843 - Representative to the State Legislature and County Commissioner Allen County, Kansas
Anna M. Lacey born 1845
Mary J. Lacey born 1847
William Henry Lacey born 1850
George Washington Lacey born 1851
Melvin LeRoy Lacey born 1853 died 1923 in Ca. Melvin was a Marshal in Moran, Kansas and served on the town council and District School Board. He controlled the transfer and express business of the town and was a farmer. He married Iva Jane Robinett. They later moved to San Dimas, Ca. around 1906-1910.
