Notes:

General Edward Lacey was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was born September 1742 in Shippen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

He was endowed with an adventurous spirit and a childish infatuation for military life. At the young age of 13, he ran away to join General Braddock in his unfortunate campaign. As he was too young to bear arms, he served as a pack-horse rider and driver. After two years, his father found him and brought him home. He remained there for a year and then he ran away to accompany William Adair (father of Governor Adair of Kentucky) to Chester District, South Carolina. From William Adair, the lad received an excellent education. In 1766 he married Jane Harper of Chester District and settled on the headwaters of Sandy River six miles west of Chester courthouse, South Carolina. They had eleven children.

General Lacey's children were born in South Carolina, four of the eleven prior in the Revolutionary War. The family later moved to Kentucky and in 1816, after the death of their parents, moved to Alabama and settled on lands now a part of the City of Birmingham. They went along with 15 other families that moved in covered wagons over Indian trails and military roads. The children are listed only in approximate order:
1. William
2. Jane
3. Joshua
4. Edward
5. James
6. Samuel
7. Robert
8. Adelia
9. Annie

Source: History of General Edward Lacey and some of his descendants by Robert A. Lacey, Esq, August 4, 1936, Washington D.C.

When the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776, young Edward took sides with the Whigs and throughout the entire Revolution he did Valiant and continuous service. His father, who had come to live with he and Jane, remained an uncompromising Tory. The story has bee told of Edward tying his father to a huge four-poster bed to keep his from warning the British during the preparing for the fighting that led to the Battle of Kings Mountain. I have been told that his bed is still in existence and is the property of Mrs. Florence May Nabors Lyman of Montevallo, Alabama also a descendant of General Edward Lacey.

The General served in Williamson's Cherokee campaign and when the news of the Declaration of Independence reached his company he publicly read the patriotic document to the army. In 1780 he received his commission as colonel. He commanded the forces that defeated Huck the British captain, and was with General Thomas Sumter at Rocky Mount, Hanging Rock, Carey’s Fort, and Fishing Creek, was in the decisive battle of King's Mountain, losing his horse in action, and was with Sumter again at Fish Dam Ford and Blackstocks. Later he was at Orangeburg, Biggin Church, Quimby Bridge and Eutaw Springs. In 1782 he was sent to Edisto Island, remaining on duty until December of that year.

Soon after the close of the war, he was chosen Brigadier General, and was one of the first county court judges in Chester District. He was sent by this district to the General Assembly, of South Carolina, where he served until 1793, declining thereafter all further honors. In October 1797 General Lacey moved his family west, locating in Montgomery County, Tennessee, where he remained for two years. He then permanently located in Livingston County, Kentucky, near the Ohio River where he soon became county judge, a post he filled with satisfaction.

He died while crossing Deer Creek, then flooded with backwater from the Ohio River. While crossing, he was seized with catalepsy and drowned March 20, 1813. His wife, Jane died two months later. In person General Lacey was of commanding form and aspect. He was five feet eleven inches tall, weighed 170 pounds, had black hair, dark eyes, and an unusually handsome and strongly intellectual face.

After the death of their parents General Lacey’s children moved to Alabama and settled on lands now a part of the City of Birmingham. They went along with 15 other families that moved in covered wagons over Indian trails and military roads.
(for further information, see Dr. M. A. Moore’s Life of General Edward Lacey” and Dr. Lyman C. Draper’s King’s Mountain and its Heroes, pp 463-464)

The following account is from Nothing but Blood and Slaughter - the Revolutionary War in the Carolinas, Volume Four, 1782 by Patrick O'Kelley, 2005, with minor edits.

When a young man, Edward Lacey went to Charlestown to sell bees wax and hides. He visited a gypsy woman to get his fortune told. She told him that he would become a great warrior and never shed any blood in battle, but he would die by drowning. She also told him that he would marry a red-headed woman and have ten children, five with red hair and five who would be dark.

Lacey went on to fight in sixteen engagements and he was never wounded. The closest he came to being harmed was at Kings Mountain when a ball passed through his hat and cut the hair at the top of his head. It burned but not a drop of blood was shed. He did marry a red-headed woman and he did have ten children. Lacey used his own money in the war and he was never paid for his services.

After the war, Edward Lacey was promoted to brigadier general of the militia and became a judge of the county court. He served for many years in the Legislature and then moved to Tennessee in 1797. Two years later he moved to Livingston County, Kentucky, where he was made the county judge.

On March 30, 1813, while crossing Deer Creek, he was thrown from his horse while having an epileptic seizure, and drowned. The gypsy woman had been right about his life. His widow died two months later.

BOROUGH OF SHIPPENSBURG.

257 HISTORY OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

ITS FIRST SETTLEMENT - EARLY REMINISCENCES - LIST OF ORIGINAL LAND
PURCHASERS - EARLY HOTELS IN SHIPPENSBURG - CHURCHES - CEMETERIES -
SCHOOLS - NEWSPAPERS - BANK - SOCIETIES.

SHIPPENSBURG is the oldest town in the valley and, with the exception
of York, the oldest town in the State west of the Susquehanna River.
The first settlement at this place is said to have been made by twelve
families in June, 1730.* In May, 1733, there were eighteen cabins in
the settlement, which had, as yet, no name. These cabins were mostly
at the eastern end of the town, which was the first to present the
appearance of a village. "When the town was subsequently laid out by
the proprietor, the point where Queen Street crosses King was selected
as the centre."
