In 1757, he, with Dea. William Bennett and others, joined the "North Company" in the settlement of North Fairfield, now the town of Easton, which company appears to have been under the jurisdiction of the Stratfield Parish for some years. He purchased lands of Jackson, on the west side of the highway (now Easton turnpike) at a point about eight miles from Bridgeport, it being the same that the late Anson Bennett owned for many years. In 1761 Edward Lacey was chosen by Stratfield Parish, collector of ministerial, society and school rates within the limits of the North Company, and receipts for money paid by him to Rev. Robert Ross, and also from Rev. Joseph Lamson, of the Church of England, appears on the Parish records. It is said that the early religious meetings of the place were held at his house. He was first married to Hannah Summers, by whom he had nine children. Eleven months after the birth of the two youngest (twins, Zachariah and John), October, 1755, she died and was buried at Stratfield. Subsequently he married Deborah Odell and had five children. Rowland B. Lacey is a descendant through Zachariah (one of the twins above mentioned), and his wife Betty Rowland, and his son Jesse and Edna (Munson) Lacey. Edward Lacey died in North Fairfield (Easton), June 18, 1772, in his 6ist year, and a fine old slate stone marks his grave in the cemetery near the Baptist Church, where also lie the re- mains of Zachariah and Jesse Lacey, above named. --taken from the History of Stratford and Bridgeport, Author: Samuel Orcutt, Fairfield County Historical Society (Bridgeport, Conn.)
