James Monroe Lindsey was born 31 Oct. 1848. In a short history of his life he stated that he first remembered being in White County when he was about 6 years of age. His father died about that time and his mother a year or so later. He and his little brother, John were taken to Searcy Co, by Jonathan Moody. John died there as a child and James continued to live in the Moody household "in dutiful subjection until the war ended in 1865." He lived out the rest of his life in Clinton, Van Buren County. I checked the 1850 census for White County and found James as a 2 year old child. In Red River Twp. #458 was J. Linsey 32 New York, Nancy 44 Ala, William 15 Ala, Nancy 7 Ark, Jane 5 Ark, James 2 Ark. I found James and John in 1860 with Jonathan Moody in Searcy County. James said his father died when he was about 6, so if this J. Linsey was 32 in 1850 he would have been 36 or 37 when he died. I have a tintype of this man and he looks 20 years older than that, of course he was probably deathly ill when it was taken, so would have appeared older than he was, but not that much older. James does not mention the children listed in 1850, only the brother born after that time. What happened to the rest of the family? Living on one side of them was Phillip Crise and on the other was David Crise. The only other Lindsey I have found there was Thomas J. Lindsey, who was sheriff of White County 1844-46. I believe that Thomas J. died during this time. I think it is likely that they were related. Also, they are somehow connected to the Marshall, Searcy County Lindseys. I have a family photo of J.M. Lindsey and his family taken about 1902 that was found among the Lindsey photos of those in Marshall. Those Lindseys are descended from Callum Lindsey through his son, William Shook Lindsey. Callum was born about 1792 in N.C., married in Lawrence Co. Tenn 1826, and was in Sylamore, Izard Co.,Ark. in 1860. Does anyone know anything about the Thomas J. Lindsey that was sheriff of White County? Thanks for any help, I appreciate any feedback. I've been stuck on these Lindsey's for a long time. Virginia potter@ipa.net
