General Notes: Husband - James Lindsey


He was born in Ireland, but came to America in 1816, together with his father, brothers and sisters. At the time of his marriage, he was living on the Walker place, near Noblestown, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

As early as 1846, he began putting his money into a farm at Cumberland, Ohio. Around Cumberland was quite a settlement of Pennsylvanians from his vicinity. One of these, James M'Mahan, sold him the farm on time payments. He leased the Ohio farm to another friend, Adam Roy. In the spring of 1849, the Ohio farm was finally paid for, and he prepared to move there.


General Notes: Wife - Nancy (Agnes) Wilson


Soon after the birth of her son, Hugh, she had an attack of pneumonia, followed by a lingering cough and a decline. The lease of the place where they were living expired about March 1, 1843, and the new lessee, the Glenns, wanted possession. James Lindsey, accordingly, leased the Ed McDonald farm, on the Candor road, three miles away, but inclement weather delayed his moving. It was cold and snowy, but finally, on April 12, the patient, on a feather bed, was placed on a sled, covered up well, and drawn carefully to her new home. One week later she died, a victim of the "white plague," at the youthful age of thirty-three.
