Well, their coming to America had nothing to do with Irish famine, and they were not Scots. We have quite a bit of information on your line, and much of the information you have is correct, at least from Richard Lindsay backward; I don't have anything on descendants of Richard Lindsay. His father, as you say, appears from the census records to have been Stephen D. Condry, whose father was James, a member of the Claiborne/Garinger/Hawkins Co. TN Condrys. You will find on these surname forums (Condra/Condray/Condreay/Condrey) numerous posts aboutthis large family. Grace McGinnis, whose name you will see here, believes that James is likely a son of Dennis Condry, of the Donelson Party that in 1780 settled in thepart of the Cherokee Nation that is now Nashville. We have not found documentation that James is a son of Dennis. It seems likely, in part because James's older son William H., who was with James in Mississippi, then moved back to Claiborne Co., TN, where he married, and lived almost side by side with another William H. Condry who was a son of Dennis's brother William. We have quite a lot of information on Dennis and his brother William, known as The Indian Spy out here because of his Revolutionary War service. This family comes into Tennessee from North Carolina, and to North Carolina from Virginia, and appears to descend from the Dennis Condry who died in Lancaster Co., VA 1736. You will see material on these forums on that Dennis.
I'll copy below the records I have on your Stephen and his brother and father. You will see your Richard Lindsay below as Linsey, a child age 2 in 1860. James appears in 1860 in Tyler Co, TX as a man of 72 in the household of John Lindsay, whose wife likely was a daughter of James. This family connection would probably account for Richard Lindsay's middle name.

Confederate Indigent Families Lists (1863-1865) On November 24, 1863, the Texas Legislature passed a Joint Resolution stating that the government pledged "support and maintenance of [the soldiers'] families during their absence from home." In accordance with this Resolution, an "Act to Support the Families and Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 15, 1863. The Act set aside $1,000,000 annually to be paid the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers currently serving in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or disabled in service." Chief Justices of the counties, on or before March 1 in 1864 and 1865, submitted lists of servicemen and the number of their dependents eligible for relief. The County Clerk administered the money distributed to the county for this purpose. The information varies somewhat from county to county. While the number of dependents are always given, additional information may include some of the following elements: name of the soldier; currently in service; disabled or killed in service; unit; acting head of household. Please be aware that only an index of names appears at this site. Linda Mearse has transcribed the records on file in the State Archives in her book, Confederate Indigent Families Lists of Texas 1863-1865. In order to help preserve the original records, please request the Mearse transcription through interlibrary loan. Please contact your local library for further details.

Ralph,
I am still chasing James Condray in Mississippi.According to a War of 1812 record filed 28 Sep 1850 by James Condray in Harrison Co., Ms, he is the same James who enlisted 24 Sep 1813 in Fayetteville, Lincoln Co., Tn and was discharged 24 Dec 1813 in Huntsville, Madison Co., Ala, then Mississippi Territory.He served in the 2nd Regt Tn Mtd Gunman commanded by Col Newton Cannon, Capt J.D. Hamby's Company.On 2nd Dec 1814, James Condry appointed George M. Egnew as his lawful attorney to draw all the money due him for his tour of duty against the Creek Indians.This was witnessed by Nathaniel Daniel and James Daniel.
In Lincoln Co., Tn Deed Bk C p 136 is a bill of sale -Jesse Daniel to James Daniel for some Negros dated 5 Oct 1813.This is witnessed by
James Condray and Nathaniel Daniel.I have a copy of the roster of Capt Hamby's Company and a Jesse Daniel served with James.
My question is do you know of any Daniel connection to the Condrays (any spelling). .
I have James Condray on the these census-
1830 census Madison Co., Miss
1840 census Kemper Co., Miss
1850 census Harrison Co., Miss
1860 census Tyler Co., Tex
Have not found him in 1870 but think he may be dead as he is 72 in 1860 and Elizabeth is no longer with him.He is living in the household with, I believe, a son-in-law.
Thanks,
Grace

National Park Service
IN BRIEF
Pea Ridge National Military Park is a 4,300 acre Civil War Battlefield that preserves the site of
the March 1862 battle that saved Missouri for the Union. On March 7 & 8, nearly 26,000
soldiers fought to determine whether Missouri would remain under Union control, and
whether or not Federal armies could continue their offensive south through the Mississippi
River Valley. Major General Earl Van Dorn led 16,000 Confederates against 10,250 Union
soldiers, under the command of Brigadier General Samuel R. Curtis. Van Dorn's command
consisted of regular Confederate troops commanded by Brigadier General Benjamin
McCulloch, and Missouri State Guard Forces commanded by Major General Sterling Price.
The Confederate force also included some 800 Cherokee Indians fighting for the
Confederacy. The Union army consisted of men from Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
Ohio. Half of these Federals were German immigrants recruited near St. Louis. The park also
includes a two and one half mile segment of the Trail of Tears. The Elkhorn Tavern, site of
bitter fighting on both days, is a NPS reconstruction on the site of the original. The park
represents what might be the most well preserved Civil War battlefield in the United States.
Total acreage is 4,300.35 (4,278.75 is federal, and 21.60 is non-federal).
