I guess it's time to have another round on the William-James-Caleb-Carlton Lindseys. For any newcomers it is best to look at this list's archives for many discussions of these families. The information before 1800 provided in the last few e-mails has NEVER been proven. I believe there is a mixture of lines here. The was a large listing of these Lindseys in Rutherford Co. NC 1800 who all seem to be related. We might also include James of Christian Co. KY who was there in 1800. Sorting these people into correct family lines has been impossible up to now. Many have tried. The best guess is some of these people had William Lindsey of Brunswick Co. VA as their ancester. One son moved to Surry Co. NC and the other to probably Orange Co. NC. The James who went to Surry in mid 1780 went to SC before 1800, then to Rutherford NC. The sons went to Warren and Christian Cos. KY - then to AR, AL, and MS. So, please do not be fooled by old charts that were just simply guesses. Look at our archives. It may take several days to do this. Note - there are two lists - one for Lindsey and other LINDSAY. Most info in in LINDSAY. Bob Jordan jorbob@webtv.net

Does anyone know of any Lindsey's that were still in Virginia around the 1860's - 1870's? Leslie

Yes, my Lindseys were in Harrison County, Virginia which became West Virginia in 1863. My great, great, great grandfather, Azville Lindsey, served in the Civil War from Harrison co.

Thank you for the update, Bob. I posted the informtion sent by someone who seems very nice but apparently doesn't have access to a computer and so that any possible relatives would be able to contact perhaps a long lost cousin. I've been greatly blessed. Someone did spot some postings of mine and forwarded them to a very special 1st cousin that I had "lost" many years ago. He just contacted me last week and it's glorious to hear from him. So it's my hope that someone will be able to help Auvie Bailey. Thank you again for this information. sandiet Bob Jordan wrote: > > I guess it's time to have another round on the > William-James-Caleb-Carlton Lindseys.
