I don't have a Lindsay listed as a child of theirs. Are we talking about the same David? Is he the son of David and Sarah Chamness? If so that would make Sophia somewhere in her 60's giving birth to Lindsay, which is highly unlikely. The only Lindsay I have is the child of Solomon Vestal and Esther Hodgin Branson. Hope someone can shed some light on this. Allen Vestal twindad@tns.net>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>> Everyone and Allen, I had answered Allen earlier about Lindsay but not about his parents and grandparents. Below is his grandparents David Vestal and Margaret Hodgin, his parents David William Vestal and Sarah Delfine McMasters and their descendants. There are two lines or families of Vestal's and I am not sure where the Thomas Vestal that married Grace Swaim comes from. I still have not found anything on Thomas since I posted my original request here and to other lists. I get responses on Grace Swaim but no one can tell me about this Thomas. Belle said she would get back to me about Grace when she gets the information together. Thomas is where the second line comes in, I will separate the two families or lines with <><><><><><>. Thomas and Grace's daughter Prudence Vashti Vestal, I assume, married a cousin; first, second, etc.?, I do not know. But her husband Lindsay David Vestal is the son of David William Vestal and Sarah Delfine McMasters. If anyone can give any information on this Thomas Vestal I would greatly appreciate it.
