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:

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.

Edgefield County 1787-1818 Book A - p. 245. 26 Aug. 1807... "I, George Kyser, being weak of body but of sound and perfect mind & memory.

Below are census listings for Conecuh Co., AL 1820-23.  The William Lindsey shown was probably a son of Edmond (the 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.

Lindsey, who is believed to have been a son of 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 Conecuh Co., AL, then Wilcox Co., and later they lived in Jasper Co., MS.  William was listed there in 1850 and 1860, b. ca. 1797 in SC.  Other Lindsey's who migrated to Jasper Co., MS from South Carolina included John Lindsey b. ca. 1776 (son of Col.

Pg. 264.  Feb. Court 1796.  John C. Royston sued William Lindsey over a debt.  The case was discontinued.

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:

Newberry Co., SC Deed Book H, Page 331: John Pearson of Newberry District to Robert Pearson of same, tract on Scotts Creek, a branch of Bush River, part of 350 acres granted to Benjamin Pearson 4 March 1760, recorded in Grant Book TT, page 457, and said Benjamin Pearson by his will dated 10 Dec 1784 did bequeath said tract with several other tracts to be divided among his six sons equally in value at the discretion of the executors, and laid off this tract to said John Pearson, adj.

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.

Edmond Lindsey's son, Edmond Jr. may have had a son named William who married Winney Rogers.  They were first in Edgefield Co., then in Wilcox Co., AL, and later in Jasper Co., MS, where John Lindsey (b. 1776, son of Col. John, had settled).  The 1860 census for Jasper Co. listed William as being born ca. 1796 in SC. Winney was b. ca. 1799.  William and Winney had a daughter named M.E.A. Lindsey, b. ca. 1840 in AL living with them.

They were also listed in 1850:
