Re: Fred Lindseys 30Mar01 posting to Lindsey Mailing List, Subj: Lindsey Roots. I am looking for information on an Abraham Lindsey, that was a member of the Frederick Co., Va. militia in 1761. He sold land in Loudoun Co. and went to Newberry Co., SC. Later he moved his family to Wilks Co., Ga. by the 1780s. Abraham had a son named Edmund. No further info is known on Edmund. Abrahams father is a Edmund Lindsey. No vital info is known on Abraham nor his father Edmund, other that the 1761 date above. This info on Abraham was learned from a posting by Ken Lindsey on a geocities.com web site. In the 1803 Land Lottery in Wilks Co., Ga., an Edmund Lindsey and Abraham Lindsey both received draws. In the 1806 Land Lottery in Wilks Co., Ga., an Abraham Lindsey received two draws. These draws were for Wayne, Wilkinson and Baldwin Counties. Abraham was born too early to have been the father of my 2nd ggf Edward Lindsey [info on below], but he could be a descendant. My Edward, who had a son named John Thomas, could be a descendant as there is about 65 years difference in their ages. After re-reading Freds posting, I get the feeling that Im sniffing on the wrong trail, but I would like to see where it leads. My 2nd great-grandfather is a Edward N Lindsey. His marriage was recorded in Wilkinson Co., as Edmund Lindsey. An Edward was listed in the 1830 Georgia census in Baker Co. My local library doesnt have a copy of the Georgia 1840 index, so where he is then is unknown. Edward was listed in the 1850 Randolph Co., Ga. census as Linsey, Ed, the 1860 Clay Co., Ga. census as Edward Lindsey and the 1870 Randolph Co., Ga. census as Edward Lindsey. The middle initial N was learned from relatives. This is a brief summary of the info that I have on Edward and the first generation of his descendants. 1. EDWARD N. LINDSEY was born in 1805. He married ISABELLA NORWOOD 21 Feb 1821 in Wilkerson Co, Ga1. She was born in 1810. More About EDWARD N.
