Thank You Josie, It was from reading your messages to list that gave me the clue to John Lindsey being the father of Jacob in New Madrid County, MO....and thus to the library searches. Thank you for the information of the past, and this new one about the book in the Florence, AL library. As you know, each clue helps so much. I also found the following in the book of Probate Records of New Madrid County, MO. Which might be of benefit to someone on the list. "[Page 23 11-15-1848 Appt. of Lewis Smith and Chas Tyler Yount as Admns. Of estate of Archibald Lindsey, dec'd.] 11-13-1848 p 26 Bond $3000 Lewis Smith and Charles Tyler, joint Admns. Of estate of Archibald Lindsey, dec'd. Securities: Robert A. Hatcher & Mason B. Browning. Heirs: Julia Ann Lindsey, wht widow of intestate, Charles Tyler Lindsey, all residing in New Madrid Co., MO." Again, my thanks Betty

Hi Betty, thanks for sending this. I started looking in my database for a connection on TYLER - my gf Capt. Charles gf out of Fairfax\Loudoun Co. VA line might be connected. This particular Charles in the probate record i don't have pinpointed yet. A tie into Tyler, Yount, Lindsay would be great. I also have HATCHERs in Woodford Co. Ky from Bedford & Chesterfield (Powhattan) Cos. VA. Querying my Lindsay's in KY: I have Archibald Lindsay b 1826 a son of Vascal Dorsey Lindsay & Johanna A. Johnson-however, Vascal Dorsey died in Jackson Co. IA by 1854. I don't know when they went there, but they Vascal Dorsey was in Indiana when Betsey, dau was born in 1831. Also have David Lindsay of Fairfax Co. VA & Mason Co. KY m. to Lucy PARKER with 3 kids: Richard Alexander m. 1st Jane E. Parker; m. 2nd Melinda Alice Ball. William T. b abt 1825 d. 1879. Lizzie b. abt 1827 m. Francis Marion Craig. josie At 07:06 AM 8/24/2001 -0500, Betty L.
