Our DNA group is composed of
twenty-three individuals. (Note: The spreadsheets contain
marker information for the first 21 participants.) Of the
twenty-one original participants, 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 and L0183 with a two
marker mismatch each; and L0047, with a four marker mismatch.
Examine the DNA
spreadsheet to see
how the Group 2 markers line up. You can also examine
the
spreadsheet on the Clan Lindsay site.
I originally created this web
page by copying information verbatim from the
Group 2
DNA Page. I added information about each early
ancestor and his descendants to help establish
familial connections between the Group 2 lineages, and to
spark discussion among Group 2 researchers. Over time,
research has allowed us to identify earlier known progenitors,
and has changed some of our ideas about the Group 2 ancestors,
so this web page now reflects the current thinking about our
lineages.

Lindsey
Earliest Known Progenitor:
Jacob Lindsey b. April 8, 1812 Spartanburg Co., SC, d. aft.
1860 Athens, Clarke Co., Georgia. It is believed, but not
proved, that Jacob Lindsey was the son of Elisha Lindsey, b.
ca. 1772 SC, d. 1819 Spartanburg Co., SC. Elisha Lindsey's
probate record listed a wife, Susannah, and children named
Isaac, John, Jacob, Elisha, Elizabeth, Susannah, Sally, and
El. Jacob Lindsey married Nancy Hart. Jacob and Nancy Hart
Lindsey had children named Susan, Elisha, Joseph S., Martha
Ann, James K., William, Commodore R., John, Benjamin, Mary,
George Wilson, Morgan M., and Elvira. L0018 descends from
Commodore Lindsey.
Elisha Lindsey, who died in Spartanburg County in 1819, was
likely a son of Isaac Lindsey of York County, SC. Isaac
Lindsey is a proved ancestor of
L0045. Isaac Lindsey's son, John, died in York County in
1817, leaving a will in which he named his father, Isaac, and
a brother named Elisha, among others. Elisha Lindsey was
one of the executors of John Lindsey's will, and he performed
administrative duties on John Lindsey's estate until 1819,
which coincides with the death date of Elisha Lindsey in
nearby Spartanburg County. That information, coupled with the
names of Elisha's children, which match those of the family of
Isaac Lindsey of York County, make Elisha seem to be a
probable son of Isaac Lindsey. See the
web page about the York County Lindsey's for more
information.
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.)
(In 1965,
Martin Van Buren Lindsey (b. 1879, a grandson of Jacob
Lindsey) made a complete listing of Jacob Lindsey's family

Thomas
Lindsey may have been the son of Thomas Lindsey Senior, who
petitioned for land in present day Burke County, Georgia in
1767. Thomas Lindsey Sr. died by 1784. His
widow, Elizabeth, continued to live in Burke County, and
received a grant for land there in 1794. Other
Lindsey's found in Burke County in the 1790's were Thomas,
Benjamin, and "Kier". Thomas and Benjamin Lindsey of
Burke County both won land in the the 1807 lottery, along
with Martha Lindsey, who may have been the widow of "Kier"
Lindsey.
Kier Lindsey might
actually
have been named
Kiah (nickname for Hezekiah). It is possible that
Thomas, Benjamin, and Kier Lindsey of Burke County may also
have been Thomas, Benjamin and Hezekiah Lindsey, sons of
Thomas Lindsey, who owned land in Wilkes County, Georgia in
1777. Thomas Lindsey died, and his heirs, Thomas,
Benjamin, and Hezekiah Lindsey, and Elizabeth Lindsey
Jenkins, brought a lawsuit in 1792 to recover the land that

Note: Susan Grabek (
sgrabek@shastalink.k12.ca.us ) is also a Lindsey

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

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

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

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 Virginia - 1864 Illinois) 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 L0170 descends from the
lineage of Hezekiah Lindsey, b. ca. 1823, youngest son of
Stephen Lindsey (1775 VA - 1864 IL).

father is believed to have been Abraham Lindsey of Wilkes
Co., GA, b. ca. 1783. Abraham died sometime after
1830, probably in Monroe Co., GA.

Earliest Known Progenitor: James
Robert Lindsey, b. June 6, 1849 Lauderdale County,
Mississippi, d. August 18, 1934, m. Roxey Ann Braswell.
James
Robert Lindsey is believed to have been the son of Delphin
"Dock" Lindsey, b. ca. 1826 in Tuscaloosa Co., AL.
Delphin Lindsey married Ann Whitehead Battle. It is further
believed that Delphin Lindsey was the son of Morris Lindsey,
b. 1788 in Newberry Co., SC. The date and location of Morris
Lindsey's birth are known from his 1869 baptism (in Alameda
Co., CA) records.
It is believed that Morris Lindsey was the son of either
William or Edmund Lindsey of Newberry Co., SC. Both William
and Edmund, sons of Edmund (ca. 1730-1818) and Mary Lindsey
of Frederick Co., VA and Newberry Co., SC, were born ca.
1765-1770. William Lindsey died sometime after 1830,
probably in Newberry Co. Edmund Lindsey, who is believed to
have married Nancy Norred, later lived in Edgefield Co., SC
and Wilcox Co., AL, where he died before 1850.
Morris Lindsey married Nancy Miller in Tuscaloosa Co., AL in
1824. Nancy was the widow of John Miller, and she had
children by her first marriage, including a son named James
Miller. The 1830 census shows that James Miller lived next
to Joseph Lindsey and Phoebe Lindsey Oglesby in Tuscaloosa
Co., AL. Phoebe Lindsey Oglesby (ca. 1774-1866) was the
daughter of Edmund Lindsey (ca. 1730-1818) of Newberry Co.
She actually lived just over the Tuscaloosa Co. line in Bibb
Co., but her land was adjacent to that owned by Joseph
Lindsey (his land straddled the Tuscaloosa/Bibb line), who
seems likely to have been related to Phoebe.
Because of the proximity of Morris Lindsey to Phoebe Lindsey
Oglesby in Tuscaloosa Co., I have tentatively placed him as
most likely to have been a descendant of Edmund Lindsey (ca.
1730 - 1818) through either of Edmund's sons, William and
Edmund Jr. Little is known about William Lindsey, who left
no known will or probate records. Family information about
Edmund Lindsey (ca. 1770-1850), written by a
great-grandchild, lists five children: William, Larkin,
Samuel, Polly, and Emily. Though Morris was not listed, it
is thought that he might have been a son of Edmund, who,
because he did not travel to Wilcox Co. with other members
of the family, was not known to later descendants.

Earliest Known Progenitor:
Jacob Abrell Lindsey b. October 15, 1806 Bibb County,
Georgia, d. December 26, 1876 Mississippi, m. Emmaline C. J.
Hamilton January 1, 1860.
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.

Earliest Known Progenitor:
Starling M. Lindsey b. ca 1827.
Starling may have been a son of
Daniel Lindsey, b. ca. 1800, of Lawrence County, Tennessee.
The 1850 census for Lawrence County listed Sterling M.
Lindsey, age 22. Sterling's wife was Martha A., age 21. They
had a daughter, Sarah E., age 2. Starling lived near Sarah
Kelly, age 64. Sarah Kelly was the mother of Martha Ann
Kelly.
In 1860, Starling
lived next to Daniel Lindsey in Independence County,
Arkansas. Both Daniel and Starling M. Lindsey had children,
age 6 and under, who were born in Arkansas, and both had
children age 9 and over, who were born in Tennessee. Starling
M. Lindsey married Martha Ann Kelly in Lawrence County in
1847. Family information states that Martha was the
daughter of Samuel Kelly and Sarah Johnston.
