Birth Estimate about 1789 Virginia (vs Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States
Marriage 10 Jun 1805; Madison, Virginia - Fielden Southard (aka Fielding)[1]
Fielding married 2nd Elizabeth Griffin, 29 Jun 1832 Hopkins KY[2]
Death Estimate about 1831 most likely KY (vs 19 Dec 1870; Green Township, Ashland County, Ohio, United States)
Elizabeth Lindsey may have been born in Pennsylvania, but she was married in Virginia. Donald C Wilkey recorded her maiden name as "Lindsay" (per the record of her marriage to Fielding Southard on 10 Jun 1805, in Madison County, Virginia), but other records show it as "Lindsey". Her death occurred in 1830 or 1831.
There is some confusion between her and Fielding Southard's second wife (Elizabeth Griffin). Elizabeth (nee Griffin) Southard appears to have given birth to at least seven children between 1831 and 1848; this Elizabeth (Lindsey-249) would have been at least 59 years old at the time the youngest (Benjamin Southard) was born in about 1848 (even if she had not died by 1831), so there do appear to be two distinct wives named "Elizabeth".
Entries are not being made at this time (26 May 2019) for Elizabeth (nee Griffin) Southard and her offspring, since much more documentation into their lives is needed.

Thank you, Teresa Downey, re: comments in regard to duplication between Lindsey-3604 and Lindsey-249. I merged those two entries. Please see last three paragraphs of "Biography" section.
Please see Lindsey-3604. That profile has exact same spouse as this one but the children are different
If these are two different people then the spouse is most likely wrong on one.
If these are same people with details that need to be updated please work towards merge.
Thank you, Teresa (WikiTree Arborist)

Lindsey-3602 and Lindsay-3367 appear to represent the same person because: Same individual. This is a "backdoor" way of correcting the spelling of her maiden name.
