To my Wayne County Historians: I have been enjoying this month's June issue.  Especially the front page with the Meredith couple and their dogs..........what really enjoy about this copy are the fashions, not only the women but the men. The older days like the pre-Civil War and during the Civil War on untill the 1890's, I do love to hear and read stories of the Civil War in Wayne and surrounding counties. They seem to go back to a time that I never knew.........it is very intriging and keeps me going back and forth from the front page to other pages just to check the fashions of an earlier time in the 1860's. On page 33 Bill and Mollie Edwards.....in 1865 and then again comparing them in their older years. Also, the Thomas Luna family were all gussied up for their picture to be taken.   I just wanted you to know that I really and especially loved these articles........now I will go back and check my other Historians and see if I can see in them what I saw in this one. Thanks so much, Joyce A. Luna

Hi Jo Ann: Yes, Kandi Cooper is my daughter in law, wife of my son, Zack Cooper. I guess you are speaking of the article about some of the cosmotology students getting their liscense . She teaches at Central High School, Florence, Alabama. Kandi , was Kandi Mitchell before marriage and the granddaughter of Roscoe Balentine. So, she is related to you thru the Balentines. Roscoe is the son of the late Titus Balentine, son of James Balentine. Sorry that I am so late in answering this. I only get online about every week or two.

Below is the Times Daily newspaper article I sent the link to on Sunday. Also included is the new link to the article. Jerry W. Murphy jwm_genealogy@hotmail.com Jerry's Homepage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jwmurphy/ Rootsweb List Administrator: ALFRANKL, TNHARDIN, TNWASHIN, TNWAYNE BRATTON, CAVENDER, COCHRAN, HAFLEY, PATTERSON, SOWERBY Wayne County, Tennessee Co-County Coordinator: http://www.netease.net/wayne Article Source - http://www.timesdaily.com/article/20080504/NEWS/805040311/1004/LIFE The story of a soldier boy in blue Last Updated:May 03. 2008 11:02PM Published: May 04. 2008 3:30AM This story is about a young militiaman whose father was a captain in the Newberry County South Carolina militia during the war with England. This information was told to the author by the late Elsie Lindsey Bradfoot, who was the great-great-granddaughter of John L. Lindsey. About the time Thomas Gainsborough was creating his famous work, The Blue Boy, in England in 1770, a young boy in Newberry County, S.C., could easily have been used as a model for his painting. John L. Lindsey, born in Frederick County, Va., in 1764, persuaded his mother to cut out a coat that matched his father's regimental colors. This coat, along with a quilt, stitched together by John L. Lindsey's daughter-in-law, remained in the Lindsey family until 1934, when they were both placed in the casket of David Lindsey. Even though this lad was of the young age of 15 or 16, he served as an orderly for his father, Capt. Samuel Lindsey, in the Revolutionary War, especially during the raids of the British soldiers against the American colonists in Newberry County, S.C. This occurred around 1779 and 1780. When his father marched away, under the command of militia Gen. Levi Casey and participated in the famous Battle of Kings' Mountain, young John L. Lindsey was permitted to go along with his father as an orderly. It was remembered by members of the family he actually participated in the fighting that occurred during his father's involvement in the King's Mountain campaign. John L. Lindsey was the grandson of Col. John Lindsey of Frederick County, Va., who served as a colonial militiaman under Gen. George Washington prior to the Revolutionary War. Col. Lindsey had a number of sons. Four of his sons served as officers in the South Carolina militia during the campaign to protect the colonies from the invasion of British General Cornwallis. During the early years of the Revolutionary War, horrible atrocity was committed against the patriots loyal to the American colonies in Newberry County by gangs of Tories, who sided with England against the American colonies. There was great conflict between the two groups of people living in that area. The Lindsey clan were patriots, and according to family tradition, suffered greatly at the hands of the Tories in Newberry County. This probably had a lot to do with Capt. Samuel Lindsey and his wife agreeing to allow young John L. Lindsey, in his boyhood years, to serve with his father in the South Carolina militia. In 1818, John L. Lindsey, with his wife Rebecca Anderson, had moved from Newberry County, S.C., to the area in Tennessee around Columbia. This was an attempt by him to acquire some of the land that had been granted to his father as a land grant for his service as an officer during the Revolutionary War. In 1826, we find him in Wayne County, Tenn., where he acquired land along the Natchez Trace, almost on the Alabama-Tennessee state line. He became the first of the Lindsey clan who settled in and around the Muscle Shoals area during the opening of northwest Alabama after the treaties with the Chickasaw and Cherokee Indian Nations. This area, where John L. Lindsey's home was built, was at a place later known as Cypress Inn, Tenn. At the time he came here and settled, it was known as Sixteen Mile House, denoting it was 16 miles from the Tennessee River. This was a post on the Natchez Trace that was operated by the Chickasaw Nation in agreement with the United States Army, which established what was later known as the Natchez Trace. Earlier it had been operated by an Indian by the name of Tuscumbia. This Chickasaw name was later given to the city of Tuscumbia. The Lindsey clan married into families in what is now known as Lauderdale County. One of the citizens of Cypress Inn, Grace Culver, in talking with the author, remembers the location of the Lindsey home on Cooper Creek, in the area known as Cypress Inn. Culver remembers the logs of this early log house were of chestnut and lay where they had fallen from the remains of the house during her early childhood. According to family legend, John L. Lindsey either lived with his son, Sylvester Lindsey and his wife, Ellie, in his older years, or his son and his wife lived with him in the family home. Sylvester and Ellie Lindsey had no children. There is a certificate in the Lindsey family showing that Sylvester was commissioned a captain in the Tennessee militia by Sam Houston in 1828. It is regarded as one of the Lindsey family heirlooms. The author and a member of the Wood family, William Wood, did considerable research in attempting to locate what was known as Cooper Cemetery. Recently, this burial ground was pointed out to members of the McDonald family by residents of the Cypress Inn area. The gravesite of John L. Lindsey has been identified because of its location next to the grave of Sylvester Lindsey. In recent months, this grave of an American Revolutionary patriot, has been marked by members of the McDonald, Wood and Sego families. Its marking is dedicated as a monument to a young boy, by the name of John L. Lindsey, who wore the coat of blue, during his 15th and 16th year of age, against invasion of the British Army into the southern colonies. William Lindsey McDonald received an honorary Doctor of Humane letters in 2006 from his alma mater, the University of North Alabama.

Would someone be kind enough to email me the article (if copying is allowed)? I tried to view it yesterday but as soon as I clicked on the link, my computer went blank. Today I tried again but all that come up was an ad and The TimesDaily.Com heading (Jerry, were you trying to drum up business for that Body Wrap Shop??? Just kidding). Then I clicked on "Local" and then "State" news, but still could not find the article. Hey, Steve, if you are reading this: Was the Kandi Cooper mentioned at the High School your kin and kiddle?

Charlotte, My father was an orphan, his name was Seth Robert Allen. In the Census of 1900 he was living with Mrs. Jennie Pennington, and listed as "in school" day of Census. I am trying to see if anyone knows who his mother was............we have had Ydna and "ALLEN" was not his father...........I believe that his mother was one of three women......Sarah ALLEN or one or her two daughters, Martha Ann or Betsy Ann, one of them went by the name of Polly and the other by Ann. I have tried to locate where this person might be buried and or when she died. Thanks, Joyce harwood15@zoominternet.net wrote: What names are you looking for.

Thank you, Jerry. for sharing this article. Although I have no direct relationship to the Lindseys I have followed Sylvester B. and Elander/Ellen Lindsey through Wayne County citations, and I am assuming they are the Sylvester and Ellie referred to in the article. William T. Martin is found in their 1860 census houshold along with Lucinda Jane Martin who is said to be his sister. Information collected from other researchers indicates that the Lindseys were their aunt and uncle. William T. Martin married Eliza Hayes, the eldest daughter of William R. and Sarah Hayes, who were my great great grandparents. It is also my understanding that William T. Martin is buried in the same cemetery as Sylvester Lindsey. If anyone can enlarge upon the Martin-Lindsey relationship, I would appreciate hearing.
