Hi Betty, I have not been able to trace my line past my g-g-g grandfather, John Lindsey. He was born around 1835 in Lauderdale County, AL...married Margaret Ingram in Hamburg in 1854 and farmed there until the Civil War. He died in 1869 in Memphis. He fought for the Union, and was a sgt in the 1st Alabama. He farmed on land owned by relatives after the war, but never recovered from the small pox he contracted in the line of duty, which is what ended up killing him. Margaret remained in Hardin County with her parents until she moved to Texas with her married daughter (Pickens family) in the 1880s. Their children were all born in Hardin County as far as I can tell...Georgia Ann, Mary Melvinia (Mollie), and William Charles (Charlie). I have just submitted my grandfather's DNA to Ron Lindsay for testing, so hopefully I can connect the dots on my line. What are the names of Ezekiel's children? Perhaps there is a connection with out lines. My information comes mostly from National Archives pension records. Margaret had to apply for her widow's pension numerous times, and the file is a wealth of information, as it contains affidavits from friends and family in Hardin County, attesting to the fact that John and Margaret were married, lived as husband and wife, that John remained loyal to the Union, and the facts surrounding his death. There are several hand-written and signed statements from different folks in Hardin County most written in the 1880s and 1890s. Pretty fascinating stuff! -----Original Message----- From: tnhardin-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:tnhardin-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Betty L.

His children were raised in the county where some were married. I don't know the locations as I could not find any early land records. This is the family who was in Frederick County, VA. From there they traveled through SC and GA to TN where the father, John Lindsey, died in 1810 in Maury County. Any connections?

Hi Jennifer, I don't have a connection for YOUR John Lindsey, but here are the names of Ezekiel's children - according to his will: John W. Lindsey, William P. Lindsey, Elizabeth Lindsey, Polly Lindsey [she was probably Mary], Phebe Lindsey, Josiah G. Lindsey and Isaac L. Lindsey. All children were minors at the time their father died, late 1824 or 1825. Last Friday I was in Hardin County and did some lookups at the Library [a really nice one for genealogy research]. I had to hand copy the records I found for the Lindsey family and will send my transcriptions to you separately. I wondered if one of these older children might be a parent for your grandfather. I did some census searches for John W. and William P. Don't remember what I found except they were still in Hardin Co so it might be worth a look. My line is from another John Lindsey, the one who died in 1810 in Maury Co., TN and was a son of Abraham Lindsey of the Long Marsh group in Frederick Co, VA. A recent DNA done by a male Lindsey shows we're in Group 2. John was the father of Ezekiel and Isaac, who appear in Hardin County at the time of Ezekiel's death, he named Isaac as guardian of his minor children. Isaac moved on to Navarro Co., TX later.
