Sorry, I didn't find anything in Hardin County, TN for Elizabeth. There were marriages recorded for a Phebe and a Polly, but the dates were in the 1870's, a trifle late for children of Ezekiel and Elizabeth Lindsey? In the 1830 census Elizabeth Lindsey - believe this to be Ezekiel's widow - is listed with the following: Males... 0-2-0-1-1. Females... 0-0-2-1-0-0-1. 1840: Males... 0-0-0-2-1. Females... 0-0-0-1-0-0-0-1. If the children were named in order of birth in the Will, both John and Elizabeth have left home by 1840 and Elizabeth might have married by 1834 if she was 15/19 in 1830. Another mystery to add to our puzzle.
