lackie/lackey/luckey/luckie/lacky/lucky
I've seen this surname thoughout records spelled so many ways.Which was the original spelling? Does anyone know?
My ancestor was Esther Luckey Knox - married to John Knox.As I am researching her family back, I have found them in Rowan Co., NC and the resources show Luckey/Luckie (census etc).But I couldn't seem to find enough info on them and I have branched out to other spellings and I am running across more and more information and find some of these Lackey's are the same people as my Luckey's.Has anyone else had this experience?I am sure the pronouciation of Luckey/Luckie was Lackey so maybe thus the various spellings.
I have many notes to read through here.But if anyone has information on John Luckey/Lackey of Rowan County, NC married to an Anna ? (possibly Johnston), and/or their daughter Esther (married to John Knox) please let me know.
