    1993, by William Lindsey McDonald, Mitchell Printing Company, Florence AL, shows
    John Lindsey having Frederick Co., VA roots.Another researcher has shown John
    to have been born in West Chester, PA and came to South Carolina with the Wilson
    and Dugan families who had also lived in the Paxtang area, now Harrisburg, in
    PA.

    1741 he was a Sergeant on board a hospital ship. (Clark, June, Colonial Soldiers
    of the South 1732-1774.)

    It is thought by some researchers that he traveled with the Calhoun party, which
    included Wilson and Dugan familes, from PA to SC with a stay in VA of almost one
    year between 1750 and 1756.

    1742 Oct. 25 John is listed as a Corporal at Dorchester.

    1750 John Lindsey is listed as a landowner in Frederick Co., VA.

    1758 Sept. 1, he is mentioned in a letter written to Col. George Washington by
    George William Farifax.This was 3 years after Gen. Braddock's defeat.
    Washington had recently resinged from the VA militia and was living at Mt.
    Vernon.At the time the letter was written, Brig. Gen. John Forbes was heading
    west from Philadelphia with the objective of capturing Fort Duquesne at the
    forks of the Ohio.Forbes' plans were to cut a new road through the mountains,
    near the Lindsey farm in Frederick Co., VA at the instance of Col. Washington.

    1767 Jan. 29, Virginia Gazette, no. 819 page 1, a John Lindsey appear on a list
    of letter in the post office at Fredericksburg, VA.

    1769 he migrated to Newberry Co., SC.Col. Lindsey owned a farm in the Long
    Lane settlement of Newberry Co.,Historian John Belton O'Neall in his book
    'Annals of Newberry Distict' SC' reported that Col. Lindsey was 'a thorough
    Whig'.The Col. would have been in advanced years during the American
    Revolution.His military rank was from service in the Colonial Militia before
    the war.Four of his sons were officers during the Revolutionary war, and son
    in law Jarrad Smith held the rank of Brigadier General.

    Although he may not have served during the Revolution, he is cited as giving
    patriotic service.Others have written that he was a Colonel during the war.

    However, in a pension application, a Clement Davis noted he enlisted in 1775 in
    Newberry District SC under Capt. Charles Kings and Col. John Lindsey and was in
    the battles with the Cherokees, and The Siege of Augusta.

    1783 wrote his last will and testament.

    He and Alce had at least 8 children.

    1786 John Lindsey is listed as Justice of the Peace in Newberry SC.

    1786 Newberry Co. court minutes show a number of entries for John Lindsey. June
    court he is an umpire.Also in June an indenture of lease and release from
    Charles King and wife to John is ordered to be recorded.Also and indenture of
    lease and release from John Lindsey to Edward Finch Esq. is ackknowledged to be
    his act and deed, ordered to be recorded.

    1787 Col. Lindsey's name appears on a list of 'Estrays' in Newberry Co SC, along
    with Samuel Lindsey, and William Lyles among others. This is some sort of list
    of horses and cattle.

    Crosson. Some Crossons were of Dutch descent.Other researchers have said she
    was Alice or Ellie Caldwell or Calhoun. (Would it have been more likely Lindsey
