Following is all the information that I can find on the Lacefield family in Hardin County, up and until the 1880 census. I am a direct descendent of Robert Lacefield through his daughter Ruth who married William Taylor Alexander. The Lacefields settled on Smith Fork Creek ca 1817, signed the petition for the establishment of Wayne County, and perhaps were on the Hardin County petition as well. It appears that all the Lacefields in this area descended from this family, probably William Lacefield who apparently came to this area from KY. William T. and Ruth Lacefield Alexander had several daughters and one son, Robert. These children are also shown below as they appear in the censuses. Martha J. Alexander first married a Gutherie and had two children. She later married James Snodgrass. Does anyone have any idea which Gutherie she married. Benjamin and William Gutherie were of a similar age and lived in the neighborhood in 1860. As she named her first son William Gutherie, born in 1862, it stands to reason that William was probably her husband. Need help here. Abigail Everline Alexander first married William Bishop and had two children, John and Tennessee. William was in the 21st "Wilson's" Cavalry. Apparently he was killed in the CW. I am also trying to find information on John Lacefield, born 1864, the son of John H. Lacefield.
