Ky., son of William Caleb and Sarah (Young) Lindsey. Prior messages from two sources on this message board indicate both 20 Jan 1865 and 20 Jan 1866 as death date. Both cannot be true. My records had indicated 1865 but had no specific day or month. I believe it is correct that he is buried in Kentucky (Baptist) Church Cem 7 mi. west of Benton, Saline Co. Ark., a church which he founded. Saline Co. Marr Book A, p 33 indicates he was md 24 Jan 1841 to Jane ("Jennie") Davis, by Wm. Whorton, MG. My info also shows Jane "Jennie" Davis Lindsey d 24 Dec 1886, not 1866. Can someone please clarify, based on documented info (e.g., their tombstone records)? I believe confusion has resulted because Elizabeth Lindsey b 1798 Ky, dau of Wm. Caleb Lindsey and Sarah Young, md 1) Martin Fletcher, who d 1819 in Lawrence Co. Ark. Eliz. Lindsey Fletcher then remarried, to Abij! ah T. Davis (on 1 July 1821 in Lawrence Co. Ark.). They had children Caleb Lindsey Davis b 1824 AR and a dau Jane, b 1826 Ark, d Mar 1864 Panola Co. TX, having married John C. (Caleb?) Lindsey, b 1822 Ala. (The Saline Co. Ark. Deed Bk D, p 177 shows deed of gift from Abijah Davis to dau. Jane Lindsey, wife of John C. Lindsey; deed dated 8 Jan 1853; reiteration of this gift and names in Deed Bk E, pg 16, 10 July 1855. [Does anyone know what relationship Abijah Davis bears to Rezin Davis and/or Nathan Davis of Saline Co.?] Dr. John C. Lindsey and wife Jane Davis Lindsey are on the 1850 census of Saline Co. Ark and the 1860 census of Panola Co. TX, where he practiced medicine and they both died; Abijah Davis was admr. of both their estates in Panola Co. TX. The couple appear to have gone back and forth from Ark. to Tex, several times. Can anyone i.d. parents of this Dr. John C. Lindsey? His children were: Abijah Davis Lindsey b 1842 Ark.; Joseph Lamar Lindsey b 1847 TX, ! Elizabeth Lindsey b 1849 TX, Hannah Lindsey b 1851 TX, Caleb Lindsey b 1854 AR (per 1860 Panola Co. TX census), and Mary Angeline Lindsey b 1859 TX. It would seem there must be close ties between John Young Lindsey and this Dr. John C. Lindsey, for John Young Lindsey's sister, Sarah Lindsey Williams (who had md and div. Dr. Joseph Huber in 1825), who ended up a widowed [she md 2) in 1831 to William W. "Blind Billy" Williams] invalid in household of her brother John Young Lindsey (1860 Saline Co Ark census), had, in Jan 1856, appointed Abijah Davis as Power of Atty for herself, which she revoked in May 1856 (ref Saline Co. Ark. Deed Bk E, p 88 and Book E, pg 152, respectively). Again, can anyone clarify? Gloria J.
