Edmond Lindsey is a presumed son of
Edmond Lindsey Sr. and his wife,
Elizabeth Beasley Lindsey, of old Frederick Co., VA. Edmond appeared in
numerous court and land records in Frederick Co., VA between 1752-1777. He
was a soldier in the French and Indian War, and he was also a road overseer and
a constable while living in Virginia.
Edmond married a woman named Mary, and they had children named
Sarah, William, Edmond, Phoebe, Nancy, and Ruth. Sarah was married to
Richard Roach in 1773, while the family lived in Frederick Co., VA.
Edmond lived in the
Fort Pitt area of present day Pittsburg during the Revolutionary War.
No military records have been found to show that Edmond served as a soldier during the
war, though Edmond made a
deposition in 1778 in which he stated that he had enlisted in the
Pennsylvania militia. While living in the Fort
Pitt area, Edmond served as a juryman, and he also appraised several estates.

Edmond
arrived in Newberry County sometime after the Revolutionary War. He
appeared on the 1790, 1800, and 1810 censuses for Newberry
County. Edmond purchased land on Patterson's Creek from his son, William
Lindsey, in 1795. Edmond's location on Patterson's Creek placed him close to the
other Lindsey's who lived on Indian Creek and King's Creek (See the map to the
right).
When he died, Edmond's estate appraisal showed he owned a tract
of land of a little more than thirty acres. This was probably the land he
lived on because the appraisal showed he owned no other land. Edmond's will
stated that he had bought the land from James Campbell (who had received a grant for 38 acres on Patterson's Creek in 1785).
Edmond Lindsey's 1816 will named his wife, Mary, and children Nancy Hughes, Ruthe Pearson, William,
Edmond, and Phoebe Ogilvie. Daughter Sarah Lindsey Roach
may have already been deceased when Edmond wrote his will, as she was not
mentioned in it. There may have been other children who predeceased
Edmond.

Edmond Lindsey's Family
Mary Lindsey
Mary Lindsey, wife of Edmond Lindsey, was
alive when his estate was settled in 1818. Little is known about Mary, who
appeared in land records in Frederick Co., VA with Edmond.
Sarah Lindsey
Sarah Lindsey was probably the oldest child
of Edmond and Mary Lindsey. She married Richard Roach in Frederick Co., VA
in 1773, so she was probably born by 1755. Richard was a Quaker, and he
was dismissed from the Hopewell Monthly Meeting in Frederick Co. for marrying
Sarah, who was not a Quaker. Richard and Sarah Lindsey Roach later lived
in the Fort Pitt area, where Richard was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
Richard received a bounty warrant for two hundred acres of land for his service.
He assigned the warrant to someone else in 1783. Records in Allegheny Co.,
PA show that Richard had died by 1791. It is not known what became of
Sarah. She was not mentioned in her father's 1816 will, so it seems she
had probably passed away.

Edmond Lindsey Jr.
Edmond Lindsey Jr., son of Edmond and Mary
Lindsey, was born ca. 1760-1770. Though it is believed by some researchers
that he later lived in Clermont Co., Ohio, census and family data
make it seem more likely that the man named Edmond Lindsey who lived in
Clermont Co. was a son of Abraham
Lindsey of Wilkes Co., GA.
Edmond Lindsey was on the 1800 census in
Newberry Co., SC, living near his father. The
census showed that Edmond was age 26-44, with a wife age 16-25. Edmond
and his wife had 3 young sons and a young daughter.
Edmond Lindsey Jr. of Newberry Co. may have
later lived in Edgefield Co., SC. An Edwards Lindsay (age 26-44, 4 young
sons, 2 young daughters, wife age 26-44) was on the 1810 census
there. He may have been the man who later lived in Conecuh and
Wilcox
counties in Alabama.
Edmond
Lindsey of Wilcox Co., AL died sometime after 1846. Before his death,
Edmond lived with his daughter, Mary Lindsey Jay. In 1846, Edmond Lindsey
signed a deed giving his daughter Mary all his property in exchange for her
taking care of him. By that time, Edmond Lindsey had little property left.
The image to the left is a copy of the deed from Wilcox County, AL Deed Book J,
pages 231-232, dated 24 Oct. 1846.
Family tree data at Rootsweb.com lists an Edward/Ned
Lindsey who married Nancy Norred in South Carolina. Ned and Nancy Lindsey
later moved to Alabama. The following information is from database
:2886643, titled William Holder:
ID: I561073248
Name: Edward "Ned" LINDSEY
Given Name: Edward "Ned"
Surname: Lindsey
Sex: M
Birth: WFT Est. 1749-1778
Death: bet 1850 in Lindsey Cemetery, Buena Vista, Alabama
Note:
This record is from a handwritten record from the Monroeville Alabama
Library by Theresa Finklea Moore circa 1953.
Edward Came From Edgefield S.C. To Conecuh County Alabama
From a letter to Mrs. Harriet W. Lindsey:
"On my way to Granpa's He gave me the folliwng family ..... My great
grandfather was Ned, he came to Alabama to Conecuh County from Edgefield
South Carolina. He married Miss Nancy norred in S.c. and they had the
following children.
William, Emily, Polly, Larkin and Samuel. Aunt Emily married William George Kyser, Polly married William
Jay, and first cousin to Rev A. Jay, Larkin Maried Teresa Deakle and
Samule married Kate Riley of Turnbull."
|
Nancy Norred, the wife of Edward/Ned
Lindsey, may have been the daughter or sister of Mullican Norwood/Norred who
lived in Newberry Co., SC ca. 1795-1810(see court
records, above). Mullican Norwood also lived in Edgefield Co., where
he was on the 1810 census. He appeared on the 1820-23 censuses in Conecuh
Co., AL, as did Edmond/Edward Lindsey (see below).
In 1810, Edward Lindsey (b. ca. 1766-1784)
lived near Philip Kiser and Mullican Norwood (b. by 1766) in Edgefield Co.
Philip Kiser/Kyser was the son of George Kyser, who had died in Edgefield Co.
ca. 1807 (see below). These Kyser's may have been related to the William
George Kyser who married Ned Lindsey's daughter, Emily, according to the
family information above.

Below are census listings for Conecuh Co.,

family information, above, lists a son named William).
I think that William may have married Winney Rogers, a daughter of John Rogers
of Edgefield Co., SC (see data below). William
(b. ca. 1797) and Winney Rogers Lindsey lived in Edgefield Co., SC, then later
in Wilcox Co., AL, and later yet in Jasper Co., MS.
Mullican Norrid and his son, Mullican Jr.,
appeared on the same census data as Edmond and William Lindsey.

Kyser. William Lindsey was listed as born between 1790-1800, Larkin Lindsey was
listed as being born between 1790-1800, and Samuel Lindsey was listed as being
born between 1800-1810. Another Lindsey who was listed in Wilcox Co. in

Caleb Lindsey (b. ca. 1770, d. ca. 1816).
John was born ca. 1800 in Newberry Co.
William Lindsey of the record below, may
have been the son of Edmond/Edward Lindsey Jr. William married Winney
Rogers. After living in Edgefield Co., SC (underage - with their parents), William and Winney were in

Phoebe Lindsey
Phoebe Lindsey, daughter of Edmond and Mary Lindsey, born ca.
1774, was named as Phebe Ogilvie in her father's 1816 will. Phoebe married
Sabert Oglesby. They moved to Bibb Co, AL by 1830. Phoebe was
listed on the 1850 census in Bibb Co. as Phebe Ogbsby, b. 1774 in Virginia.
Phoebe died in Bibb Co. in 1866, and she is buried in Hickman Cemetery.
Her gravestone is pictured to the left.
In 1830, living nearby Sabert and Phoebe
Oglesby was Joseph Lindsey, b. ca. 1787 in South Carolina. Joseph
Lindsey's land straddled the Tuscaloosa/Bibb Co. line, but he was enumerated in
Tuscaloosa Co. Joseph Lindsey may have been Phoebe's nephew, the son of
either of Phoebe's brothers - Edmond Lindsey Jr. or William Lindsey. In
1830, Joseph's daughter Emily "Mila" Lindsey married Phoebe's son, James Oglesby,
in Tuscaloosa Co. Joseph Lindsey married Hannah Milliner, and they later
lived in Saline Co., AR.
Phoebe and Sabert had children named Sabert,
John, James, Polly, and Elizabeth, among others. This is from unverified family
tree data at Rootsweb. In 1850, Phebe lived with her son, Sabert Oglesby,
who was born ca. 1811 in South Carolina.
Note: Sabert Oglesby Sr. and his seven
children were named in the 1790 will of John Blalock in Newberry Co. (Source:
Newberry Co., SC Will Book A, pg. 98) Sabert was transcribed as Labard, but I believe the given name might have been a
mis-transcription. Saybert Oglesby was on the 1800 census for Newberry Co.
He was shown as being over age 45, with a wife age 26-45, and five children
under the age of ten. If his wife was Phoebe, and the children were all
hers, then she must have married at a very young age. This doesn't seem to
be the same man mentioned in the 1791 will, unless this was a second family, and
the other children were all grown.
Sabred Oglesby was on the 1810 census for
Newberry Co., over 45 years old, with a wife age 26-45. They had three
sons and four daughters. Sabred lived next to Edmond Lindsey and his son,
William Lindsey. A ca. 1820 accounting of the estate of Edmond Lindsey
mentioned that Sabert Oglesby and William Lindsey were living on Edmond's former
land (see above). Sebert Oglesby was listed on the
1820 census for Newberry Co. He and his wife were both over age 45, and
they had five young sons.
Sabert and Phoebe Oglesby must have moved to
Bibb Co. sometime after the 1820 census.
Nancy Lindsey
Nancy Lindsey, daughter of Edmond and Mary
Lindsey, married George White Hughes. The 1790 census for Newberry Co.
listed two men named George Hughes. I'm guessing that Nancy was married by
then, and that she was the wife of the man showed as having one male in his
household and three females. The 1800 census listed just one George Hews.
He was age 26-45 (b. ca. 1755-1774), as was his wife. They had two young
sons and a young daughter, so they were probably closer to age thirty than in
their forties. The 1810 census for Newberry Co., SC listed a Geo. W.
Hughes age 45+ with a wife the same age. This means that George and his wife
were probably born by 1765. The 1820 census showed that George W. Hughes
was over forty-five, but the oldest female in his household was age 26-45 (b.
ca. 1775-1794), so perhaps Nancy had died. My best guess as to Nancy's
birth year would be a range from 1762-1768. There was no George Hughes of
any spelling on the 1830 census.

Ruth Lindsey
Ruth Lindsey, daughter of Edmond and Mary
Lindsey, married a Mr. Pearson. Little is known about Ruth at this time.
She was alive in 1816, when her father wrote his will.
Records for Ruth Lindsey Pearson:

Census data for Edmond Lindsey in Newberry Co.:
 |
 |
 |
1790: Edmond and son William are shown.
James Campbell lived nearby. |
1800: This census was somewhat alphabetical,
but the Lindsey's weren't all on one page. Edmond appeared near
another Edmond (Jr) and Mary Lindsy. Edmond Lindsey Jr. is widely
believed to have been the man who later lived in Clermont Co., Ohio, and
who married Barbary Fisher there in 1808. The younger Edmond is
shown on this census to have a wife and four children, which is
incongruous with the man who later lived in Ohio.
Additionally, three of Edmond Lindsey of Clermont Co.'s daughters
(Susannah Lindsey Jordan, Nancy Lindsey Warren, and Eliza Lindsey Bennett,
all of Clermont Co.), stated on the 1880 census that their father was born
in Georgia. This makes it seem more likely that Edmond of Clermont
was a son of Abraham Lindsey,
who lived in Wilkes Co., GA. ca. 1784-1824, having moved there from
Newberry Co., SC. |
1810: Living near
Edmond Lindsey were his son, William, and Sabert Oglesby, who was married
to Edmond's daughter, Phoebe (listed as Phoebe Ogilvie in his will).
Also living next to Edmond was Abigail Wells, the daughter of John Lindsey
(d. 1787, probable uncle of Edmond). Abigail had married Dr.
Humphrey Wells in Frederick Co., VA. As part of Edmond's
estate settlement, the land that he owned in
Newberry Co. was sold ca. 1820. At the time it was sold, it was
stated that William Lindsey and Saybert Oglesby were living on the land.
Phoebe Lindsey Oglesby later lived in Tuscaloosa Co., Alabama, where she
appeared on the 1850 census as Phebe Ogbsby, b. 1774 in Virginia. |
