"Illinois Revolutionary War Veteran Burials", 1917. [http://genealogytrails.com/ill/revwar2.html]

      The following information was taken from an Atlas of Lawrence County

      published in 1875 by W. R. Brink & Co.

      ...A colony of Negroes, consisting of a dozen families or more, had likewise settled about four miles north of Lawrenceville. The families were of the name of Anderson, Morris, Gocus and Cole. North of this colony of Negroes, and about five miles north-east of Lawrenceville, there also lived about 1819 or 1820, Henry Prukstaff. He had two sons, John and Henry, who married and had families. West of these lived Adam Lackey, Senior and Junior, and James Bryant."

      http://www.lawrencecountyillinois.com/history/lchist.html

      The Adam Lackey (son of Alexander) sold all the land in North and South Carolina and headed through Tennessee ' to live near his Uncle Samuel LAckeys family who were in Franklin Co, Tennessee" on his way to Lawrence Co, Illinois, where he settled with a second wife, named Catherine. I really think the William, Adam Allen Reuben Lackey brothers in North Eastern Alabama are connected to these LAckeys (who married Burneys) from Guilford County, NC, sons of William and Rebecca of Drunmore, Lancaster County PA or his brother, John who also had sons named Samuel although that line seemed to stay in NC.

THe last 6 children were all born in Lawrence, Illinois. Adam's father was Alexander Lackey and his mother was Rebecca. SHe was born abt. 1684 in scotland or ireland. He was born bef. 1725 but I'm not sure were yet. I'm still working on it. I know Adam had 5 brothers and sisters.
