Lindsay Surname DNA Project Group 2 Lineages

Our DNA group is composed of nineteen individuals.  Of these, three have identical DNA on the 43 marker test that constitutes our group's modal haplotype.  These three are denoted by asterisks on the table above.  Four others match the modal haplotype, except that they all have a null reading on marker DYS441.  These four are denoted by a # in front of their identifying numbers, above.  Of  the remaining participants with a 43 marker test, all have a one marker mismatch each with the modal haplotype, with the exceptions of L0170 with a two marker mismatch; and L0047, with a four marker mismatch.  Examine the DNA spreadsheet to see how the Group 2 markers line up.

Of the three perfect matches above, L0156 is a proved descendant of Edmund Lindsey (b. 1697).  L0083 and L0102 are believed to also descend from Edmund. Take a look at the Relationship Chart to see the familial connections between the lineages.

I have copied the data from the Group 2 DNA Page below.  Information that I have added is in black type in parentheses.  Some of the additional information is speculative, but it is also based on research.  The additional information is intended to help establish familial connections between the Group 2 lineages, and to spark discussion among Group 2 researchers.  Further research is needed to prove the connections between the Group 2 Lindsey's. If you have information to contribute to this page, please contact Susan Grabek.
 

Lindsay Code No.: L0018            
Surname: Lindsey
Earliest Known Progenitor: Jacob Lindsey b. April 8, 1812 Athens, Georgia, d. ? Athens. Georgia.  This Lindsey lineage is thought to have migrated from Scotland to Spartanburg, South Carolina (land grant) circa 1660-1700.  The Scottish immigrant is thought to be Patrick Lindsey.
  
The 1860 census for Spartanburg Co., SC listed Jacob Lindsey as J. L. Lindsey, age 47.  Living with Jacob were his wife, Nancy (b. ca. 1819), and children named Susan (b. ca. 1836), Martha (b. ca. 1841 ), James (b. ca. 1843 ), William (b. ca. 1845), Commander (b. ca. 1847), John (b. ca. 1849), Benjamin (b. ca. 1852 ), Wilson (b. ca. 1853), and Mary (b. ca. 1855).  Additional children of Jacob Lindsey from family tree information at Rootsweb (database penny0608) are sons named Elisha b. ca. 1838, Joseph S. b. ca. 1839, George W. b. 1860, and Morgan M. b. 1862.  An additional daughter from family tree information is Elvira b. ca. 1857. 
 
(Jacob may have been the son of Elisha Lindsey, who died in Spartanburg Co. ca. 1819.  Elisha's probate records show that in 1826 a son of Elisha named Jacob was age 14.  This may have been Jacob Lindsey, ancestor of L0018.  To date, a relationship between Elisha Lindsey and Jacob Lindsey has not been proved.)

Earliest Known Progenitor: Joshua Lindsey b. 1799 Kentucky, d. bef. 1855 White County, Indiana, married Sarah (Sally) Johnson, March 8, 1823 in Lawrence Illinois.  The children of Joshua Lindsey & Sarah Johnson were Sally, Martha, Mary, John, Elizabeth, Louisa, Joshua, George M., Samuel and William Tipton Lindsey.
 
Note: Susan Grabek ( sgrabek@shastalink.k12.ca.us ) is also a Lindsey researcher and descends from Findley Lindsey, a brother of Joshua Lindsey (1799 KY - bef.1855 Indiana).  Susan, employing some of the previous work done by her cousin Carol Huber (they both descend from Joshua's proven brother Findley Lindsey), has developed a strong circumstantial position that would establish this Joshua Lindsey as a grandson of one William Lindsey.  This William Lindsey is believed to be a brother of the Hezekiah Lindsey found in the write-up of Lindsay participant L0038 above.  DNA Group 2 participants may want to contact Susan directly to gain more depth regarding her thoughts on this Lindsey lineage and its connecting links.
 
(The parents of Joshua Lindsey are believed to have been Joshua Lindsey Sr. (b. about 1770) and Elizabeth Findley (b. 1773).  Elizabeth's father was John Findley, a Revolutionary War soldier who lived in the Fort Pitt area of present day Pittsburgh.  It is thought that Joshua Sr. must have met and married Elizabeth in the Fort Pitt area before migrating to Kentucky about 1791.  The family moved to Indiana about 1800, where Joshua died in Jackson County ca. 1818.

Surname: Lindsey
Earliest Known Progenitor: Stephen Lindsey b. ca 1775 Virginia, d. Sept. 7, 1864 Fulton County, Illinois, married Rachel Reynolds Dec. 1798 in Campbell County, Kentucky.  The children of Stephen Lindsey & Rachel Reynolds were, Nathan (b. circa 1802 KY), James (died circa age 18), Jonah (b. Ohio), Jacob, Phoebe (m. Mr. Lovell), Reuben, Stephen, Hannah (m. Mr. Stoops) & Hezekiah.  The migration path for Stephen Lindsey (1775 VA - 1864 IL) was his marriage and time in Campbell County, Kentucky to Clermont County, Ohio to Fulton County, Illinois.  In an October 17, 1843 deposition by Stephen Lindsey (1775 VA - 1864 IL), he states, in 1782, he went to live, at age 7 or 8, with his maternal aunt, Ruth Beasley Dollar & her husband William Dollar, in Berkeley County, Virginia.  Inferring the maiden name of Beasley, for the mother of Stephen Lindsey, provides a possibly connection to Edmond Lindsey (Long Marsh-now Clarke County, Virginia Lindseys), b. 1697 who married Elizabeth Beasley in Baltimore Co. MD in 1724.  This could imply that Edmond Lindsey & Elizabeth Beasley were the grandparents or great-uncle/aunt of Stephen Lindsey.  DNA participant L0083 descends from the lineage of Nathan Lindsey, eldest son of Stephen Lindsey (1775 VA - 1864 IL).

(Jacob Abrell Lindsey is believed to have descended from Jacob Lindsey Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth Abrell Lindsey.  He may have been a grandson of Jacob Lindsey, Sr.  It is thought that Jacob Abrell's father may have been Abraham Lindsey.  Abraham lived in the same tax district in Wilkes Co. as Jacob Lindsey, Sr.  Abraham first paid a poll tax there in 1804, indicating that he was born ca. 1783.  Abraham later lived near Jacob Lindsey, Jr. in Jones Co., GA, where Jacob Jr. paid Abraham's property taxes in 1811.  Abraham Lindsey and Jacob A. Lindsey were listed together on the 1828 tax list of Monroe Co., GA.  Abraham was last on the census in Monroe Co. in 1830.  On that census he was listed as between the age of 50-60.

Surname: Lindsey
Earliest Known Progenitor: Thomas Jefferson Lindsey b. Jan. 21, 1791 Wilkes County, Georgia, d. Oct. 2, 1861 Brownsboro, Texas, m. Bathsheba Sudduth.  It is believed that the father of Thomas Jefferson Lindsey was Jacob Lindsey (1740-1818) who married Elizabeth Abrell.
 
(Thomas Lindsey moved from Wilkes Co., GA to Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama in the early 1820's, before moving on to Mississippi and later to Texas, where he died.
 
It is possible that Thomas Lindsey was the son of Thomas Lindsey Sr., a Revolutionary War soldier from South Carolina who died in Wilkes Co., GA before 1820 leaving a widow Mary, and children named Thomas, Abraham, William, Phoebe, Elizabeth, Charlotte, Rhoda, and Mary.  Several of the children of Thomas Lindsey Sr. moved to Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama, including Abraham, Phoebe, Rhoda, and Mary, who all married in Tuscaloosa Co.  Abraham Lindsey married Mary Traweek in 1829, Phoebe Lindsey married James Suddeth in 1847, Rhoda Lindsey married Cornelius Roberts in 1828, and Mary Lindsey married Richard Files in Tuscaloosa Co. in 1828.  In 1830, the heirs of Thomas Lindsey Sr., asked Thomas Lindsey of Tuscaloosa Co. to act as their agent to sell lottery land in Troup Co., GA for them.  Thomas might have been one of the heirs, himself.  More information about these Lindsey's is included in the Wilkes Co., GA timeline.

Lindsay Code No.: L0136
Participant Surname: Lindsey
Earliest Known Proven Progenitor: Elijah Lindsey, b. by 1766, probably in Frederick Co., VA.  Elijah first appeared in Wilkes Co., GA records in 1787.  Elijah died ca. 1815 in Wilkes Co., leaving a widow, Dicey, and sons named John, Jacob, James, and Archibald.  Elijah also had a daughter who married William Andres.  DNA participant L0136 descends from Elijah's son, John Lindsey, b. ca. 1792, who married Catherine Flemister in Wilkes Co., GA in 1813.  John Lindsey later lived in Jasper Co., GA, where he died after 1860.  Archibald Lindsey moved from Wilkes Co., GA to Tuscaloosa Co., AL, where he married Mary Brown in 1829.  Archibald and Mary later lived in Attala Co., MS.  It is possible that Elijah's son, James Lindsey, was the man who later lived in Tuscaloosa Co., AL near Archibald Lindsey.  James Lindsey, of Tuscaloosa County, AL, is the ancestor of DNA Group 2 participant, L0046. 

Elijah Lindsey's father is believed to have been Jacob Lindsey Sr. of Frederick Co., VA and Wilkes Co., GA.  Jacob Lindsey Sr. is the proved ancestor of DNA Group 2 participant L0156.  However, this relationship between Elijah Lindsey and Jacob Lindsey Sr. has not been proved.

Earliest Known Proven Progenitor: Abraham Lindsey, b. by 1723 likely in Maryland, d. after 1790 SC or GA, married unknown.  Abraham had a son John Lindsey (ca 1749 VA - 1810 Maury County, Tennessee) who is the ancestor of L0138.
 
(Abraham Lindsey owned land on Goose Creek in present day Loudoun Co., VA for which he received a grant in 1745.   He was a member of the Frederick Co. militia during the French and Indian War.  Abraham left the Long Marsh area for South Carolina about 1763. Ezekiel Lindsey, who died in Laurens Co., SC ca. 1784 is also believed to have been a son of Abraham Lindsey.
 
Abraham Lindsey may have been the son of Edmund Lindsey, a Long Marsh pioneer, b. in 1697.   Because Abraham was born before the 1725 marriage of Edmund and his wife, Elizabeth Beasley Lindsey, he would have to have been from a prior marriage of Edmund's.   Another possibility is that Abraham may have been Edmund's brother.  It is not known if Abraham died in Newberry Co., SC, or if he was the aged man named Abraham Lindsey who died in Wilkes Co., GA after 1824.
