    3. Looking for desc. of Levi Lindsey (1790-1800 - bef 1850) Levi Lindsey, b. 1790-1800 TN, d. possibly before 1850 Fayette Co. AL (no marker found), was possibly a brother of William L. Lindsey and Jacob Lindsey. Levi Lindsey married Juda ____ b. Feb.7, 1805, in TN, NC, or MS (according to different census records) d. Dec.28, 1893 Fayette Co. AL. Juda (Judah - Judy) is buried in Bethlehem Cemetery north of Fayette. Her tombstone reads " Of the virtuous and Godly woman the Bible says that her children shall arise and call her blessed. Is life then a sacrifice? Aged 88 yrs. 10 mo. 21 days." Sharlene Stough of Fayette, AL lists three possible children of Levi and Juda Lindsey, which are difficult to account for: Levi Lindsey, b. Sept.18,1819, m. Delitha Douglas Alley, Emily Lindsey, b. ca 1823 m. J.S. Clifton, and Temperance Lindsey, b. ca 1825 m. Daniel G. Kirkland. The difficulty with the son Levi is that Juda would have been only fourteen years old when he was born (this is possible). One researcher Sharlene talked with surmised that Levi may have had a previous wife, but I have been unable to find anything supporting this theory. The difficulty with Emily and Temperance is that I cannot account for them in the 1830 or 1840 census records. Both of these years list two males of the right ages and I suppose that it's possible that this was just a misprint both times. Of course this would then leave out Levi in 1830 as a son. It is possible that one or all are children of Levi's brothers. The known children of Levi and Juda Lindsey are: Salena Lindsey, b. ca 1827, James M. Lindsey b. Dec.4,1828, m. Nancy Jane Walden, Clarissa (Chelsia?) Lindsey b. ca 1832 m. Calvin Guin, John Lindsey b. ca 1834, Ellen Lindsey b. ca 1836, Martin L. Lindsey b. ca 1837 m. Margaret Redus (Mrs. James F. Molloy), Catharine (Caroline?) Lindsey b. ca 1838, Martha Adaline Lindsey b. Mar.5,1839 m. John T. Yerby, Laura Susan Lindsey b. ca 1841, (10) Louisa (Lisa?) Ann Lindsey b. ca 1844.
