The map on the right, above, is a crude drawing that I made of
Thomas Lindsey's neighborhood on King's Creek in Newberry
County. I used plat maps and deed descriptions to give a
rough idea of Thomas Lindsey's neighbors in the area. Click on
the map on the left to view a much more accurate map that was
created by
Steve Malone after I had made this web page.
When Thomas Lindsey had his land surveyed in
1771, many of the neighbors shown had already settled in the
area. Just southwest of Thomas Lindsey was Charles King,
the father-in-law of Thomas Lindsey. Charles King had
settled in the area circa 1754. Thomas Lindsey probably
met and married Lydia King at about the time that he had his
land surveyed in 1771. Charles King later purchased the
tracts above that were owned by Isaac Palmer and Thomas
Morgan. Two of Thomas Lindsey's sons purchased the tract
just north of Thomas Lindsey that was owned by James Crall.
