At some point I apparently spoke with Ann Lacey, wife of Leonard Lacey, of Canton GA.
These are the notes I took:
Addie Lacey - youngest child of "Bluth" and 1st wife
married Luther Lacey
son Leonard; married to Ann
Addie had more sisters: Eliza, Jane, Annie (Lacey), Ida
Mother died when Addie was 9; she lived with sister Annie in Cherokee County, NC
Addie had a cousin named Bluth
