| LACY, GEORGE L.-Age, 18 years. Enlisted, September 17, 1861, at Dryden, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. F, October 4, 1861; discharged for disability, October 20, 1862, at Baltimore, Md. Bruce Beatty writes, "George Louis Lacey is my great-great-grandfather. I only found out about him this summer, found his grave in Michigan, and there was a Civil War marker. The local historical society had an 1890 census of soldiers that provided his unit information, and I have yesterday found on-line the graves of George's parents in Dryden, New York, which is where the two units were formed. George served twice, discharged the first time after a saber cut to the head, enlisted in the 15th NY Cavalry and was discharged the second time, after having been captured at Lacey Springs, VA, and serving time as a prisoner at Crew & Pemberton (GH #15) in Richmond.
Couple of interesting notes for you about my George Lacey. He isn't listed on the monument in Hart, even though he lived there from 1866 until he died in 1914. In the "History of the Seventy-Sixth Regiment" by Smith, he is mistakenly identified as George L. Lason, Discharged for disability November 1862. From my trip to Hart in August I now also have George's obituary.
According to the "Memorial Roll" of the Michigan GAR, he died
November 10, 1914. |
