The following excerpts were taken from Monroe Co. Tennessee Records 1820-1870, vol. II >From Monroe County Court Minutes, May 1861 (377) RJ White app. Adm. of Isaac Lindsey >From Monroe County Court Minutes, May 1862 (479) David M. Lindsey app. Gdn. to David, Mary E., Martha, and Tennessee Lindsey, minor orphans >From Monroe County Court Minutes, August 1862 David Lindsey resigns and Matilda Lindsey is appointed as Gdn. to Martha J. and Tennessee Lindsey >From Monroe Co. Deed Book R, 2 December 1867 (line 663) Chancery Court: M.L. Phillips vs. GW Lindsey and RJ White, Adms. of Isaac Lindsey, dec'd; undivided 1/7 interest of GW Lindsey in Lands of Isaac Lindsey dec'd >From Monroe County Court Minutes, August 1868 (552) Petition to Sell land; David M. and Isaac Lindsey, 3rd, vs. Thomas, George, and Ozias Rhea, Matilda, David, Mary E. Martha, and Tennessee Lindsey, heirs of Isaac Lindsey. It appears that Isaac Lindsey (born 1783) died ca. May 1861 and left several minor children: Martha J., Tennessee, David, and Mary. Isaac's son, David M. Lindsey, was appointed gardian to them but was relieved of the care of Martha J. and Tennessee Lindsey by a Matilda Lindsey......Who exactly is Matilda Lindsey and how does she fit in with the Lindsey family?? In Aug. 1868 ...David M. and Big Ike Lindsey (son and grandson of the deceased Isaac Lindsey) were litigated by Thomas, George W. Matilda, David, Mary E., Martha, and Tennessee Lindsey....they apparently were heirs of Isaac. Can anyone provide any further information on these heirs of Isaac Lindsey? Were all of them his children, were some of them grandchildren that he named in his will, or that may have been living in the household at the time of his death? Lastly, who was the mother of the minor orphaned children of Isaac. Isaac had a wife, Mary, that was born in ca. 1787 and it doesnt seem possible that she was bearing children up into the mid-late 1840's or beyond .....did Isaac mary another woman?? if so, who was she? I would appreciate any ideas that anyone may have....I have other specific Lindsey information if anyone is interested........
