Notes for Thomas James Lackey: If the Rockbridge Co. VA census of 1850 is correct, Thomas was born in 1783. According to the date on his tombstone, however, he was born in 1788. Looks like an error in transcribing the census, as the dob of 1788 seems to "fit" the known dates of his siblings. Rockbridge Co.
