I couldn't help but notice the surname "Lackey" mentioned in this posting. One of my family names is "Lockey" and they are primarily in the Webster/Claiborne/Bossier/Caddo Parishes of Louisiana, though they came from NC thru GA and AL just after the Civil War and settled in primarily the area of Rocky Mount. Just wondered if your Lackey could possibly be a misspelling, or whatever, of my Lockey!!!! Brenda Wilkins Hudson
