Lacy Cemetery, 75-1 Summary Report, page 16
Sarah C. Lacy was first recorded as selling land (without her husband being noted in the Deed Index) in 1878. Sallie C. Wall married Alexander H. Lacy on 19 October 1842, per Madison County Marriage Records, Volume 4, page 655. For her to have control of the property rights to unilaterally enter into sales, Sallie's husband Alexander H. Lacy must have died before that land sale in 1881. (The last index record of a sale of land by Alexander was in 1855.) Alexander (or his wife or children) must have inherited the land from Theophilus after Theophilus' death in 1876. One other possibility is that Sallie was Administrator of the estate of Theophilus in order to sell his land, but if so, then the index is supposed to indicate that circumstance.
Accounts of the Wall family history in Ahnentafel form from on-line internet (Ancestry.com) sources and from a book by Dennis Simpson are shown below in order to provide some insights into the situation.
