And Tacy was probably just a name, too. I have a collateral ancestor named
Tacy Carter. She was born on April 15, 1766, to Jeremiah Carter and Rebecca
Wiley in or near Wilmington, Delaware. The Wilmington Monthly Meeting (Quaker)
records show her birth -- with the NAME Tacy. Not a nickname in this case.
