Hi, after reading your msgs about the Lindsay in NC I went to ancestry.com and queried. I backed into this line thru my Tinsley/Vernon cousins of Madison Co. VA: Their dau Susannah Vernon m. Richard Wall b. 1767 in Calvert Co. Maryland, they m. 1790 in Madison Co. VA and removed to Surrey Now Stokes Co. NC & finally to Calhoun, Henry Co. MO. Their dau Sarah WALL m. REUBEN LINDSAY in 1815 in Rockingham Co. NC. The researcher's data has quite a bit of info on the descendants of these lindsays. see below some of it or go to ancestry and check em out. josie Src: Type: Book Title: Genealogical Sketches of Reynolds, Fewells, Walls and Kindred Families Publication: The Commercial Printers, Inc., Winston-Salem, NC, 1923 Author: John Fewell Reynolds Henry County Missouri Connections Entries: 10925 Updated: Thu Jun 13 20:27:10 2002 Contact: Linda M. Everhart <codmolly@iland.net> Home Page: Henry County Missouri MOGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~mohenry/henryco.html A post-em by Phil Lindsey galloglas@pars.net 2002-02-14 on Linda's family file: "I think the date of marriage must be rethought. Reuben left a will in Rockingham County, NC dated 11/1814 stated in that if he died without issue to Sarah Wall, that all of his estate would be left to his parents and siblings. This is in the OLD Wills section, found loose boxed in the courthouse. This will was never brought to probate. However, it is listed in the current edition of the Rockingham, NC Will abstracts." ( I think it is likely he made this will before he left for military action in War of 1812, but returned and had children with Sarah Wall-he was War of 1812 quartermaster at Norfolk, Virginia. josieb) RUEBEN LINDSAY b 1787 in Maryland or Virginia?: "Moved with his parents to Rockingham County, North Carolina, when three years old, and was there reared and educated, later in life becoming an extensive planter and speculator in tobacco." His parents are listed as JOSHUA LINDSAY & Amelia VERNON (a sister to Susanah who m. Richard Wall) m. in Maryland. (also see: "Pamunkey Neighbors of Orange County, Virginia - Lindsay, Mills, Montague, Stevens and related families and neighbors", by Ruth Trickey Sparacio & Sam Sparacio; Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1985. Madison Co., Va.) Amelia's parents are Richard VERNON (Rev War - Land Grant In Old Surrey (Stokes) Co. NC & son of Thomas Vernon & Mary of PA & Stokes, Cheshire, , England) & Sarah TINSLEY (dau of Edward Tinsley & Margaret TAYLOR (dau of James Taylor & Martha hompson m. Orange Co. VA 1724- died in Amherst Co. VA- supposedly Martha's mother was a MONTAGUE descendant of Sir Roger Thompson, of Scarborough, Yorkshire, England, who was a lineal descendant of Malcolm I of Scotland). abt 1790 Joshua LINDSAY & Amelia VERNON went to Rockingham Co. NC. Their children: Rueben m. Sarah Wall (more later); Taylor Lindsay died in Lebanon, TN (no other info); and John Lindsay of Rockingham Co. NC, Spouse unknown.
