In searching the (Interesting!) archived mail in each list, I have found enough clues to ask questions for which I hope someone has answers. I believe the John Lindsey/Lindsay who left a will in Lauderdale County, AL to be my ancestor, IF he was the father of Jacob Lindsey who died in New Madrid County. Here is what I have, beginning with Jacob: 1. JACOB LINDSEY b unknown, m unknown, d abt 1817 New Madrid County MO. 2. His daughter: ANNA LINDSEY b 1804, m abt.1820 ROBERT POGUE b abt 1795. Anna died 1852, Cooper County MO, Robert died 1853, Cooper County, MO. Both are buried at the Hail Ridge Cemetery in Cooper County. Their children: a. WILLIAM ANDERSON POGUE b MO 1821 [my ggrandfather], married 1843, Cooper County, MO to Sarah Bolton b. MARY M. POGUE b MO abt 1824, married 1844, Cooper County, MO to Eli Hardcastle c. JACOB LINDSEY POGUE b 1825 d. ROBERT C. POGUE e. SARAH M. POGUE f. JAMES L. POGUE g. BARSHABA J. POGUE h. THOMAS T. POGUE i. JOHN C. POGUE j. RHODA ANN POGUE (f) James L. Pogue was appointed guardian of his younger siblings after their father died. The following is from searches done at the MO State Historical Library: ****** "Marriage Records 1819-1850 And Will Records 1820-1870 of Cooper County, MO Published 1959 Elizabeth Prather Ellsberry >From Book A2 page 339 Will of James L.

Of Anne Lindsey, Barshaba Lindsey, Mahala Lindsey, and Mary Lindsey, minor heirs of Jacob Lindsey, Dec'd John Osborn & Stephen Ross Securities" ****** The names shared in these records seem positive proof for these to be the same families. Now to the questions. Is Jacob of New Madrid County really the son of John of Lauderdale County? If so, who is this JOHN LINDSEY/LINDSAY? Where did he come from? I have seen the unusual spelling of the name Barshaba given in the list of children for Col. John (Silverfist) Lindsay, but have no clues tying him to the John in Alabama. Does anyone have similar names in their family lines? For what it is worth: In the census of 1880, William A. Pogue said both his father and mother were born in Tennessee. I don't know if that is correct or not. As with the spellings of the names Lindsey-Lindsay, and Pogue-Poage-Poague, it is another question... Thanks for any assistance, advise and guidance, Betty L. Collier gggrandaughter of a Lindsey/Lindsay

Betty Collier I am very interested in your last message. I have A Mary or Margaret Lindsey married to my Church family. They were from Cooper County. Do you have anything more on Mary Lindsey? If what I have is true than I am the greatgreatgrandson of Mary Lindsey.

Hi, on my other computer which i can't get to, there is a researcher in Lauderdale, AL that has written a book - about the Lindsay/eys there. I had a smattering of info hoping they were connected to my Zachariah Lindsay of Lawrence & Limestone Cos. AL. he said not: i first found the reference to the MO Lindsay's in Valley Leaves pub. if you call the library there in Florence, Alabama, they probably have this book. josie 05:56 PM 8/23/2001 -0500, you wrote: >In searching the (Interesting!) archived mail in each list, I have found >enough clues to ask questions for which I hope someone has answers.
