I have traced my ancestry back to William but have hit a snag.

My references find him as being "adopted by" Stephen Lacy.

His wife is listed as you have it here Sarah Ann Fleming Johnson Lacy.

Is it possible that Sarah's first husband was who you have listed here?

This one generation hiccup is proving difficult for me.

I only see one husband for Sarah.

If he was 'adopted' he may have a different last name. Have you done DNA yet?

This is not MY message--- sorry--- it is from the inbox sent to managers of the profile.

Hi,
Thanks for connecting this to the group Cynthia. As I build out my tree William Hughes (b.1755) is the first little snag. As I cross reference different genealogy sites WHL shows up as "adopted by" Stephen Lacy (b. 1705) but also listed as Stephen's Grandson in Stephens will. Stephen's wife Sarah (b. 1730 OR b.1705?)is listed as a possible second or third wife . A Wiki Tree thread has her listed as wife of a William Lacy (b. 1829) Lacy. And yet another site has Stephen Lacy as beging married to a Margaret Fleming...?!?
I know I need to find vital records to help ascertain some of this info but any help on navigating these descrepencies?

Sources are going to be important.
Add what you know
I am not familiar and have no knowledge of the info you are talking about sothatis a place to start—- can you add links?

Sorry for the typos!
