  THOMAS LACKEY, farmer, P. O. Palestine, was born January 3, 1824, in Clark
County, Ky. His father, John Lackey, was also born in Kentucky. His occupation
was that of a farmer and wheelwright, manufacturing spinning wheels. He was
married in Kentucky to Nancy Wilson, born in Kentucky. She was the mother of
nine children, and died in this county. Mr. Lackey came to this county in 1828,
with his father, and went to school here and was married, 1852, to Miss A. E.
Boatright, who died in 1862. She was the mother of three children- Amanda, born
June 16, 1854; Helen, born September 22, 1857; and Mary, born December 20, 1859.
Mr. Lackey was joined in matrimony a second time in 1863, to Mrs. Malissa
Kibler, born October 12, 1824, in this county. She is a daughter of Hudson and
Hannah (Higgins) McCorpin, and the mother of four children-John Kibler and Ellen
Kibler were from her first husband; Richard, born October 6, 1867; and Ann
Eliza, born February 9, 1865, are children of her present husband. His two
oldest children are married, Amanda to R. H. Kitchell, and Helen to William
Walters. Mr. Lackey's grandparents were of the Old Virginia stock, characterized
for their known hospitality, honesty and straightforwardness. He had a brother
in the late war. He is identified with the Republican party, but in local
affairs he votes for the best man.
