There seems some confusion with his and his brother's children. LK8 had James, Patrick and Katherine with the same birth dates as John's children of the same name.

First found in counties Donegal and Derry (Londonderry) in Ireland although they originated in Argyllshire in Scotland.  Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Catherine Lackey settled in Delaware in 1838; James, Thomas and William Lackey all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; Jane Lackey settled in Maryland in 1699; Denis Lackie settled in Philadelphia in 1868. William Lackey settled in the Military Settlement of Richmond, in Upper Canada.  William joined the British Military on 2 October 1812 at the age of 29.  Ballyshannon, in the County of Derry, was created a Borough by Royal Charter in 1613, is one of tthe oldest towns in Ireland and is the birthplace of William Lackie.  From its idyllic setting the town looks out over the Erne Estuary and has panoramic views of mountains, lakes and forests.

An article in Bytown or Bust says that many of the Richmond pioneers were members of the 99th Regiment of Foot, a regiment which was disbanded after the War of 1812. Both true statements, but, for the genealogist, there's a bit more to it than that.

A number of those men actually served with the 100th Regiment of Foot, County of Dublin, Prince Regent's Own, which was raised in Ireland in 1805.

This regiment served in the War of 1812 but was decimated at the Battle of Chippewa Creek. There were not enough survivors to found even a company  (which would have consisted of 100 men) so they were amalgamated with the 99th, which was a newer regiment.

The headquarters of the 100th was at Quebec City before the war so some marriages and possibly baptisms took place there.   The parish church for the regiment was the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. (It's interesting to note that, after his untimely death at Richmond from rabies, the Duke of Richmond was taken to Quebec and buried in front of the altar in that same cathedral.)

What was now the 99th Regt. was not disbanded until 1818. At that time the men were given the choice of going to England to be discharged, or to take up land in the Goulbourn district. As a private, William received 100 acres.   After the war the 99th was stationed in Quebec and then at Chambly. Researchers might find records there which apply to their families.

William was on  Con 8 Lot13 E½, Goulbourn Township the 24 October 1821.  He had to be there for at lease 3 years prior to that date to be able to fulfill the terms of Settlement. William arrived there in the fall of 1818.  

William's Trade, was listed on  his military enrollment as a Nailer.  Nailer is a blacksmith who made nails by cutting and shaping metal.

Notes for SARAH CLARKE:

WILLIAM LACKEY AND SARAH CLARKE

        William came to Canada as a soldier with the 99th Regiment of Foot which was headquartered in Lower Canada (Quebec) In 1818 when the Regiment was to be disbanded, the officers and their men were offered land in Upper Canada instead of returning to their home country. This was a program to settle the country and at the same time have  ready available a basic group of experienced men who could be called upon to defend the land, if and when required. The area to be settled was in what was known as the Richmond Military Settlement. William accepted the offer and was granted 100 acres on Concession 8 Lot 13 East in Goulbourn Twp. Carleton Co. on condition that he clear and cultivate a certain a certain portion of it as well as erect personal accommodations within two years. This he accomplished and was granted deeds to the land on 24 Oct. 1821.

        in about 1828 he married Sarah Clarke. Together they raised a family of 10 children. On the 1851 Census Thomas Jr. was not shown with the family.
