From "James Stark of Stafford County Virginia and His Descendants" JOHN LINDSEY FAMILY John Lindsey, born before 1720, was a contemporary of Thomas2 Stark. He apparently lived in the part of Frederick Co VA that is now Clarke Co VA. He was closely associated with the Humphrey Wells, Thomas Speake and Pennington families in VA as well as in SC. Probably all of these families lived in what is now Clarke Co rather than Frederick Co. They lived across the Blue Ridge from Thomas Stark who was living in southwestern Loudoun Co VA during this time period. According to the “History of Clarke Co VA” by Gold, the earliest settlement in Clarke Co was about 1740 when John and James Lindsey settled on Long Marsh. In 1740 Frederick Co VA was Orange Co. Orange Co Deed Bk 5,p 140, Mar 2, 1741/42, shows a deed from Isaac Pennington of Orange Co VA to John Linsey of same for part of a tract patented to Isaac Pennington in 1734. John Lindsey appeared in many Frederick Co VA deeds from 1748 until 1777 when in Frederick Co VA Deed Bk 17, p244, he said he was late of Frederick Co VA now of Berkley Co SC.
