I may have a small breakthrough in my "wall" regarding my Lindsays in SE Ohio, primarily Harrison and Jefferson Counties, I am hoping some of you may be able to help... Keep in mind this is partly conjecture, but it is all I have at this moment. I have found three families living in relatively close proximity in the 1790 census in Northern Liberties Township, Philadelphia County. The names show up later, in Harrison County, but - I'm not sure. Maybe someone can help. They are: Thomas Lindsay John Lindsay Joseph Alberson Thomas Hamilton ALL shown as living in the NL Twp, Phil co., in 1790 US Census. "Facts" as I "know" them: 1. Elizabeth Alberson was most likely the half sister of John B. Lindsay, and the daughter of Joseph Alberson, who came to Smithfield Township 1807-1809, and apparently died shortly thereafter. Her mother (unknown) must have married a Lindsay, 1810-1820. Letters we have indicate that Sarah Ann Chaney was the daughter of William Chaney and Elizabeth Alberson Chaney of Harrison County, Ohio. Sarah Ann refers to John B, as "Uncle" - hence the above leap of conjecture, and to her mother as "your sister Elizabeth" 2. Sarah Ann later marries Thomas Price, a widower, who signed the marriage certificate attesting to the age of the bride for the marriage of John B. Lindsay and Margaret Norman in 1840. They live first in Monroe Township, Harrison County, Ohio, then move to the family farm in Green Township, and later into Adena, Smithfield Township, Jefferson County, where at least Thomas Price is buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery. 2. Thomas Hamilton Lindsay was my gg grandfather, and the ELDEST son of John B. Lindsay, born "in Ohio just across the Ohio River from Wheeling (west) Virginia in 1841. Knowing that his mother's name was Margaret Norman, was the middle name Hamilton a reference to his paternal grandmother's maiden name? There is a Thomas Hamilton in Smithfield Twp, from 1815-1885, who may or may not have been in the mix, other than two of Margaret Norman's brothers lived with him as hired hands in the 1850 census.
