Some beleive this is the marker for Lacey Brant. It does have his Civil War unit on it. I have never seen his name as William, though. Lacey did have a son William L. Brant but he did not serve in the Civil War. William L. Brant is buried in the Greenwood Cemetery near Bridgman. The only marked grave in this plot is with this Civil War marker. The plot was purchased by George Brant one of Lacey's sons. The name William Lacey is seen in the next couple of generations of the descendants of Lacey Brant so it is possilbe his name was also William Lacey Brant. After looking at these records and family stories I beleive this is the burial site of Lacey Brant. His wife Angeline (Brown) Brant is most likley buried next to him but in an unmarked grave. The Daily Palladium (newspaper) printed in Benton Harbor, Michigan on 18 Sep 1891, under a segment about news from Hollywood. Hollywood was a small village in Royalton Township, Berrien County, Michigan. This death notice reads: "Lacey Brant was born in Maradon, Genesee county, N. Y., Nov. 18, 1810. Moved from there to Pennsylvania and was married to Angeline Brown Nov. 29, 1830. Moved from Pennsylvania to Michigan in 1839, where he lived until his death, which occurred Sept. 11, 1891. He was 81 years 9 months and 8 days old. The funeral services were preached at 12 o'clock Sunday, Rev A. W. Willis officiating. The deceased was a soldier in the war of '61 and the G. A. R. of St. Joseph was largely represented." Maradon should read Macedon.
Lacey and Angeline Brant bought two acres of property in section 18 of Royalton Township in 1890. In Lacey's will the property was left to his wife, Angeline.
