Notes for JAMES LINDSEY:
Notes for JAMES LINDSEY:
The following information was compiled and supplied by Robert Davidson of
Eastford, CT.

James Lindsey, son of William and Jane, was willed his father's land and
plantation in Brunswick Co, which he and his wife Mary, together with
nephew James Lindsey Durham, who had inherited an adjoining tract, sold
in 1777 and moved to Surry Co, NC, to join other family members who had
moved down about five years earlier.

James and Mary Lindsey were in Surry County for about ten years, until a
lawsuit against their son Carlton Lindsey caused them to move to South
Carolina. Carlton Lindsey, with brother Caleb Lindsey as co-defendant,
was convicted of "tresspass" in 1788, and James Lindsey was charged with
failing to deliver them to the authorities. Both James and Carlton
Lindsey had land holdings (about 600 acres), and although there was a
deed of sale of this land in 1788, the land was apparently seized by the
sheriff and sold off by the county in 1791, after the Lindsey's had left.

For the next twenty years the Lindseys and their family are found both in
Spartanburg Co, SC and in adjoining Rutherford Co, NC. James Lindsey with
wife and family of six is given in the 1790 census of Spartanburg Co.
James Lindsey, Sr and wife, both over 55, with two in family, is found in
the 1800 census of Rutherford Co, NC. No record of James Lindsey's death
has been found, but he must have died in Rutherford Co shortly after
1800, at age approximately 70.

James Lindsey's family can be reconstructed with reasonable accuracy. Two
daughters, Susanna and Elizabeth, were left household items in their
grandfather's will in Brunswick Co, VA, in 1766. Four men who must have
been sons are found in Surry Co, NC records; Carlton, Caleb, Joshua May
and James William - there was only one Lindsey family in Surry Co in the
early 1780's, and we know these four are brothers from later records in
Kentucky. Other probable sons, younger than these four, are Micajah and
John, both clearly associated with this family in Spartanburg Co. and in
Rutherford County later.

There may have been others. The relationship with the Carlton family is
unclear, but it may be that Mary, wife of James Sr was a Carlton, or that
James named a son Carlton after his brother-in-law, John Carlton. Much of
the following information [on the children - rjc] is taken from "The
Lindsey Clan" (1972), by Mrs. Joe Dutton and Mrs. Virgel McMillan of
Texas, and from research done by Jackson Stell of Montgomery, Alabama.

Notes for JAMES WILLIAM LINDSEY:
The following is from "The Lindsey Clan" (1972), by Mrs. Joe Dutton and
Mrs. Virgel McMillan of Texas and from research done by Jackson Stell of
Montgomery, Alabama. It was supplied by Robert Davidson of Eastford, CT.:

James William and his wife both died the same day in a cholera epidemic.
They moved to Kentucky about 1809, settling in that part of Christian Co
which became Trigg Co.

The following is from Perrin's "County of Trigg, Kentucky" (1884):
In Canton precinct, "where town of Canton is now situated," early
settlers were Josiah Lindsey (i.e. Joshua) and his brothers James Caleb
and Carlton. James William moved on to Arkansas about 1825 and has many
descendants.

The following is a note from Robert Davidson:
It is interesting to find several Lindsey families in the Christian Co,
KY area, all from Virginia originally and distanty related. These
include descendants of the Caleb Lindsey who died in Essex Co, VA in
1717, and James Lindsey, son of Caleb and Roseanna Lindsey of the
Brunswick Co family.
