Update: 7/12/2011. We now have
proof that Isaac Lindsey of York County, South Carolina was the father of
Jacob Lindsey of Cobb County, Georgia. Jacob's wife, Elizabeth,
applied for a widow's pension for Jacob's military service. In her
application Elizabeth stated that she and Jacob were married in York
County, South Carolina in 1813 by John Lindsey, a minister of the Gospel. Now we
need to find proof that Isaac Lindsey was a son of Abraham Lindsey of
Newberry County.
|
The purpose of this research web page is
to determine if Isaac Lindsey (ca. 1745 - 183?) of old York County, South
Carolina (present day Cherokee Co.) might have been an ancestor to some of the Group 2 Lindsey's.
It has been proved that Abraham Lindsey (ca. 1723-1824) of Newberry County
was the ancestor of
L0138.
My hypothesis is that Abraham Lindsey of Newberry County was the father of
Isaac Lindsey of York County, and that Isaac Lindsey was the father of
Jacob Lindsey (b. ca. 1785-1790), who died in Cobb Co., Georgia in 1838.
Jacob Lindsey of Cobb Co. is a proved ancestor of
L0045
in Group 2. Isaac Lindsey may also have been the father of Elisha
Lindsey (ca. 1772-1820) of Spartanburg County, and the grandfather of
Jacob Lindsey (ca. 1812-1880) of Spartanburg County. Jacob Lindsey
of Spartanburg County was the ancestor of
L0018.
Isaac Lindsey received a grant for land in York County in
1784. He may have been the same man who had lived in Newberry County
previously. An Isaac Lindsey received a grant for land in Newberry
County in 1768 on Foster's Creek, a tributary of the Enoree River. Isaac
Lindsey sold this land in Newberry County in 1785, so the timing is right
for him to have been the same man who began to appear in York County
records in 1785.
Abraham Lindsey of Newberry County owned
land adjoining Isaac's land on Foster's Creek. Abraham Lindsey
sold his land in Newberry County in 1783 and moved to Wilkes County,
Georgia, where he died ca. 1824. Because Abraham and Isaac Lindsey lived
next to each other in Newberry County, it would seem that they were close
relatives, possibly father and son as I have hypothesized.
The names of Isaac Lindsey's wife and children are known
from the 1817 York County will of Isaac's son, John Lindsey. (See the
timeline, below. Birth and death dates are from census, probate, and
other records, also shown on the timeline.) Isaac Lindsey of York County was married to Rachel.
Isaac and Rachel had children named John (ca. 1772-1817), Elisha (ca.
1772-1820), Jacob (ca. 1788-1838), David (ca. 1790-1815), Druscilla
(ca. 1780-?), Edy (ca. 1785-1853), and Fanna (ca. 1785-184?). Other
Lindsey's who lived in York County who appear to have been closely related
to Isaac Lindsey were Archibald Lindsey (ca. 1788 - 1860) and Ellender
Lindsey (ca. 1790 - ?). Archibald Lindsey may have been a nephew of
Isaac and Rachel Lindsey. Ellender may have been the widow of David
Lindsey, a son of Isaac and Rachel Lindsey who died in 1815 while on
military duty, or she may have been Archibald Lindsey's sister. | Click on the image above to see a typescript copy of John Lindsey's will. The images in the file were downloaded from the South Carolina Archives online records site, and they are displayed here with permission from the Archives. See the entry for 1817, below for a copy of the handwritten will. |
From John Lindsey's 1817 will and his probate record, it
is known that Edy Lindsey married William Parker, Druscilla Lindsey
married Thomas Wilson, and Fanna Lindsey married Thomas Putman. John
Lindsey is buried in the Martin family burial ground in Cherokee County,
as is his wife, Mary Lindsey, who died in 1816. Jacob Lindsey married Elizabeth
Allen ca. 1812-1813 (per Elizabeth Lindsey's widow's pension file). Elisha Lindsey's wife was named Susannah.
Isaac Lindsey appeared in York County records from
1785-1820. He may have moved to Hall County, Georgia sometime after
the 1820 census. An Isaac Lindsey of Hall County, Revolutionary War
veteran, won land in the 1832 lottery. Jacob Lindsey, who lived in
the same militia district in Hall County as Isaac Lindsey, also won land
in the 1832 lottery. My guess is that Isaac and Jacob Lindsey were
the father and son who had earlier lived in York Co., South Carolina.
Isaac's lottery land reverted back to the state, so he must not have
completed the paperwork to finalize his ownership. Perhaps Isaac
died at about the time of the lottery. To date, no probate records
have been found for Isaac Lindsey. There is a Revolutionary War file
for Isaac Lindsey at the South Carolina Archives, but the file is empty.
Bobby Gilmer Moss's book on South Carolina patriots does not list an Isaac
Lindsey, so it seems that no record of Isaac Lindsey's Revolutionary War
service exists, although he most certainly would have served as a soldier
during the war. Isaac Lindsey has been a difficult man to pin down
in records after 1820.
Elisha Lindsey, b. ca. 1772, a probable son of Isaac
Lindsey, purchased land in Spartanburg County in 1794. He lived in
Spartanburg County until 1819, when he died. Elisha Lindsey's
probate record showed that he had a wife named Susannah and sons
named Isaac, John, Jacob, and Elisha. Elisha Lindsey had daughters
named Susannah, Elizabeth, Sarah, and El. Information from Lee
family researcher, Margaret Beheler Jay, states that three of Elisha
Lindsey's children married three of the children of John Watts Lee (b. ca.
1765 -1770) and his wife, Elizabeth Lands: Richard Lee married Sarah/Sally
Lindsey, and Jeremiah Lee married Elizabeth Lindsey. Ms. Beheler's
work also states that Susan Lee married a Lindsey. Researcher Scott
Jones has determined that Susan Lee married Elisha Lindsey's son, John
Lindsey.
Below you will find a timeline of the records I have
compiled for Isaac Lindsey of York County and his family. If you
have anything to add, contributions would be welcomed. More source
records are needed to prove or disprove my hypothesis about these
Lindsey's. My e-mail address appears at the bottom of this page.
I have marked up a map to show the approximate location
where Isaac Lindsey and his family lived. The red star marks the
location of Isaac's land on Bell's Branch of King's Creek, and the blue
star marks the location of the Martin Family burial ground, where the
graves of John Lindsey and his wife Mary are located. The yellow
star marks the location of Elisha Lindsey's land in Spartanburg County. Clicking on
the stars will bring up more detailed maps of the locations. |
