Surnames: WILLIAMS/LINDSEY/DURHAM/TUCKER/TALL(E)Y Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VBC.2ACI/1266 Message Board Post: There were a couple of queries in the past few days posted directly to the Hanover County, Virginia, e-mail list about Williams men in the middle to early 1700's. These messages were, apparently, NOT gatewayed from this message board. One branch of that Williams family seems to have come to Georgia. My ancestor, Jeremiah Lindsey, migrated to Oglethorpe County, Georgia before 1794 from St. Paul's Parish, Hanover County, Virginia. He lived on the southern boundary of the county because he signed petitions about the Chickahominy Swamp area. This Jeremiah Lindsey d. 1800 Greene County, Georgia. In his will he left $10 to a granddaughter, Betsey Williams. Does Betsey Williams fit into that Williams family??? I don't know anything else about this granddaughter? Is Williams her maiden or married name? Who was her Lindsey parent? The wording implies a bequest to her out right. No husband or her being a minor and no guardian or trustee is mentioned. She could have been born before 1779 and unmarried. If she was not married, then did this Jeremiah Lindsey d. 1800 have a deceased daughter who married a Williams? Was Betsey Williams in Georgia or Virginia? The will references "my four children now living." These were Jeremiah, David, Isabella Durham and Jinney Tucker. These four children were in Georgia in 1800. Jeremiah, Jr. and David Lindsey left wills in Greene County, Georgia. The 200 acres of Lindsey land, formerly in Oglethorpe County, is where Temperance Bell Schoolhouse Crossroads and Cemetery are located on present day maps of Greene County, Georgia. My ancestor, Jeremiah Lindsey, Jr., married Sally _?_ d. before Nov. 1825. David Lindsey married Lucy _?_ d. before Nov. 1843. Jane/Jinney/Jennet Lindsey married Alan Tucker. They moved to Alabama. She was a member of Bethesda Baptist Church as were various other Lindsey family members. Isabella Lindsey b. c. 1760 married Samuel Davis Durham c. 1781 in Hanover County, Virginia. Samuel Davis Durham d. Greene County, Georgia, c. 1800. Isabella received a pension for his Rev. Ser. How was Nathan Tally/Talley related to this family? Nathan Lindsey was left a horse and bridle in the 1800 will. There seems to have been several Nathan Tallys in Georgia. This one lived with the spinster and widowed daughters of David Lindsey about where Temperance Bell Crossroads are now. Hope this information helps someone. Any other clues appreciated.
