Would anyone know anything at all about my Lindsey ancestry? Where did they come from before Londonderry? They came to America about 1725 (probably earlier) and settled in Pembroke and Bridgewater, MA. Apparently, as the story goes: "About the year 1700 Thomas Lindsay left Scotland for America by way of Londderry then a flourishing and most accessible seaport on the north coast of Ireland. At Londonderry he met some old friends and joined them in a steeple chase. This celebration proved fatal to him as he was thrown from his horse and his neck broken. His wife and nine children were obliged to set sail, leaving "Tom," as his wife called him, to be buried by his friends." (Ephraim Lindsey and His Descendants, compiled by Mrs. L.J.
