Beverly Tucker Lacy (shown above) was born in 1819 in Virginia.  He was the son of William S. and Sally Campbell Graham Lacy.  He received an A.B. degree from Washington College in 1843 and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1847.  He was my third cousin four times removed.  Also in 1847, he married Agnes Reid Alexander, daughter of John and Elizabeth Reid Alexander.  Agnes was my second cousin five times removed.

Rev. Lacy was a trustee at Washington College from 1857 to 1858.  During his life, he was pastor of churches in Winchester, Salem, and Fredericksburg, Virginia, as well as Frankfort, Kentucky, and St. Louis, Missouri.  But he may be best known as Stonewall Jackson's Chaplain during the Civil War.  

In about 1862, Rev. Lacy was the pastor at the Presbyterian Church of Fredericksburg. Soldiers from both armies attended services at the church. While Lacy tried to avoid the topic of the secession in his sermons, one member wrote in her journal that Lacy "sometimes offends our taste by rather more attention to the Yankees than we like to see paid, but preaches very good sermons to make up for it."

While he was at this church, Rev. Lacy came to the attention of General Stonewall Jackson and Jackson invited Lacy to become his Chaplain.  Rev. Lacy was with Jackson when Jackson was wounded.  In fact, he carried General Jackson's amputated arm across the fields and buried it in his brother's graveyard at the family farm "Ellwood" near Fredericksburg where it remains in a marked grave in the cemetery.

Rev. Lacy died in 1900 and is buried in the Lexington Presbyterian Church cemetery.
