Son of Jas. Lackey and Mary Woods. Husband of Fanny Farmer. Indian fighter and surveyor. He later became a prominent attorney for big land speculators, such as Stockley Donelson (the brother-in-law of Pres. Andrew Jackson), often serving as an agent for such speculators. Brother of Arch Lackey, William Lackey, Andrew Lackey, and Hannah Lackey Chamberlain, among others. Some researchers identify him with Woods Lackey; others treat Jas. W. and Woods as two separate individuals.
