Group 2 is composed of forty-three individuals. Each lineage traces back to the Long Marsh Lindsey family of old Frederick County, Virginia. We have not been able to tie each participant to a known Long Marsh Lindsey patriarch, but our knowledge increases as new participants join the group.
Below you will find information about each lineage. The information is based on source document research and family records and stories.
I originally created this web
page by copying information verbatim from the
Group 2
DNA Page on the old Clan Lindsay site. 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. Please see the Lindsay International site for information about all the Lindsay/Lindsey lineages: https://lindsay.one-name.net/dna/dna-participants/

Surname of Participant:
Lindsey
Earliest Known Progenitor:
Jacob Lindsey b. April 8, 1812 Spartanburg Co., SC, d. aft.
1860. It is believed that Jacob Lindsey was the son of Elisha Lindsey, b.
ca. 1772 SC, d. 1819 Spartanburg County, 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
record. Martin listed Jacob Lindsey, borned April 8th,
1812, and wife Nancy Hart, borned Nov. 6th, 1819.
Martin gave their marriage date as about 1834. Then he
listed their children and their birthdates: Susan

Newberry County, SC. John Lindsey, a Frederick
County, Virginia Lindsey family
partriach, and wife Alce
moved from Frederick County, Virginia to present day Newberry
County, South Carolina about 1768. John Lindsey wrote
his will in Newberry County in 1783, naming his children:
James, Sarah Speakes, John, Abigail Wells, Thomas, Samuel, and a

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 Hezekiah. 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 Hezekiah.
It is possible that
Thomas, Benjamin, and Hezekiah 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

John Lindsey
may have been a son of Pennington Lindsey, b. ca. 1810, and
his first wife, Sarah. The 1860 census for Jackson
Parish, Louisiana listed a 40 year old Sarah Lindsey living
with the family of Samuel Skinner. Living nearby in
the household of Samuel C. Skinner was John Lindsey, age 10,
born in Texas. Pennington Lindsey had lived in
Louisiana before moving to Texas, and had probably married

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 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.

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

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.

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., born circa 1766, 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

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

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

he died in 1810. For more information about John
Lindsey, see this

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. It is thought that Abraham was

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).

Note: Susan Grabek 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 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
