There is a will in Bourbon Co, KY for a Margaret Branham who died 10/19/1847.Her first husband was Thomas Lindsay of Culpepper VA.According to the will her children by Thomas Lindsay were:
Jacob Lindsay(b.1785)
Reuben Lindsay(b.1787)
Thomas Lindsay(b.1789) m. Elizabeth Elkin(s)(m.2/1/1815 Clarke Co, KY)
Nimrod Long Lindsay(b.1793-d.9/2/1840) m. Lavina Garrard Grimes(d.9/14/1840)(had daughter Margaret abt 1818)
Charles Lindsay(b.11/27/1795)m.Malinda Elkins(m.1/26/1826 Clarke Co, KY)(had daughter Elizabeth 1832)
Margaret A Lindsay
Nancy Lindsay m.________Todd
Elizabeth Lindsay(b.1797)
Jane Lindsay
The only marriage I could find for a Thomas Lindsay and a Margaret that fit was 9/3/1782 in Frederick MD to a Margaret Trenler.
Elizabeth Elkins and Malinda Elkins could be sisters and children of Joshua Elkins, but that would have to be investigated.
Other marriages in Bourbon KY are
Preston Lindsay m. Jane Mahan 3/30/1830
Ezekiel Lindsay m.Mary Marlove(Marlowe?)12/29/1829
Vachel Lindsay m.Ann Cusenberry(Quesenberry)
3/20/1792
I believe that Vachel is a brother or cousin of Thomas who married Margaret.
The will also states that Margaret is the half-sister of Thomas Hutchcraft.I have not been able to prove that this is through their mother or their father.One pedigree lists her as a Hutchcraft but I have never found another source to verify that.
I think that Preston and Ezekiel are sons of either Thomas or Charles.I never found a marriage for the other brothers in KY.
There are a lot of Lindsays in the Franklin Co, KY area and are probably cousins of the Bourbon Co group. You should look into the town of Boonesborough where most of the lived from the 1780s through the 1840s.
I am interested in the Branham connection and the Cox family.THere is a Jane Lindsay that married William L Cox in Franklin Co, KY in 1807m but I doubt that it is the Jane Lindsay above.
Hope this helps.
