Elizabeth Lacey

Elizabeth Lacey

• Elizabeth Lacey was born circa 1833 in Tennessee or Alabama.
• She married Alexander C. Hamilton on 27 May 1847 in Madison County, Alabama.
• Alexander C. Hamilton and Elizabeth Lacey appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1850 in Madison County, Alabama. Other members of the household included Hannah J. Hamilton. Also in the household is a son William, age 1. It appears that he died before 1853 and they named a later son William. Margaret Lacy (age 58), possibly is Elizabeth's mother.
• Alexander C. Hamilton and Elizabeth Lacey appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1860 in Madison Crossroads, Madison County, Alabama, and also Mahala J. Hamilton, age 3, who may have died before 1866 and a later daughter given the same name, or possibly (but not likely) her age is ten years off in the 1870 and 1880 censuses. This would seem most unlikely if not for the apparent error in the birth year (1857) on her grave marker. And there is also the confusion of the Tennessee/Alabama birthplace. Margaret Lacy, age 70, was also in the household.. Other members of the household included Hannah J. Hamilton, Martin Adolphus Hamilton, William Hamilton, Joseph Hamilton, John Hamilton and Alexander Hamilton.
