Hi Jane, They sure could be. My GGGrandfather, Willis Pinkney Lindsey, named his first born son Elijah Thomas Lindsey born and died in 1848. Willis's father's name has always been thought to John Lindsey and this John married an Elizabeth Warfield (possibly Wofford, Woolfolk). This Elizabeth is buried in Boone County, Missouri, but there is no John Lindsey in the cemetery, only a son, Leasel Littleberry Lindsey (thought to be Willis's older brother) and some other descendants. The Elizabeth that married John Lindsey was born in January, 1789, per Boone County census and burial stone. That is sure a close fit, agewise. But it is possible that he was married more than once. I am very close to tying a Merritt H. Lindsey to Willis Pinkney Lindsey and they seem to both connect to a John Lindsey in Missouri who had a Land Grant for the War of 1812. Merritt is shown to have been born in NC and Leasel and Willis in Spartanburg, SC. But considering David Lindsey and Mary Casey went from PA (I believe?) to Alabama they covered a lot of territory. Most likely, to end up in Alabama, they would have travelled through NC and SC, then through the Saluda Gap to the Tennessee River. That could have put them all in Huntsville, for sure. Do you have the down lines for the John, Elijah and Thomas? (and there was also a James Linzey listed and James Miles Lindsey was the second born child to Willis). http://www.rootsweb.com/~almadiso/1812sol.htm The above is the hotlink to the Militia site that I found. You may already have it but, if not, might be interesting to take a look. I would be greatly interested in anything you know about these three (or four) Bojayvo@aol.com wrote: > Phil, I have the following information: > > Sons of David Elijah Lindsey and Mary Casey: > Thomas, b 177l; John, b 1777; Elijah, b 1783. > Would these brothers be the ones you're interested in? > > ....Jayne H.
