• Hezekiah was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, serving as a private in the 9th Regiment, commanded by Colonel John Gibson of the Virginia Line for three years. He enlisted in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He was granted a pension of a month. Hezekiah and his family lived in that area over-which both Pennsylvania and Virginia claimed jurisdiction. The family then built flatboats and floated down the Ohio River to Maysville, Mason Co., Kentucky. They remained here for awhile, then traveled on to Campbell Co., Kentucky. This was their residence for a short time until becoming one of the earliest settlers of Ohio Twp., Clermont Co., Ohio, before 1800. His wife's family came, as did the Nichols family. He married Eliza FISHER in 1767 in Baltimore Co., Maryland. She was born 9 Oct 1752 in Ft. Pitt, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Adam FISHER and Sarah NICHOLS. Died 14 Aug 1837 in Pierce Twp., Clermont Co., Ohio, and was buried in Locust Corner, Pierce Twp., Clermont Co., Ohio. *Lindsey, Hezekiah I Birth : 1747 Westmoreland, Pennsylvania Death : 16 FEB 1826 New Richmond, Clermont, Ohio Gender: Male Parents: Father: Lindsey, David B.

He is claimed by both Pennsylvania and Virginia. One source gives his wedding place as Baltimore, Maryland. On the LDS Ancestral File, Barbara Fister is listed as the second wife of Hezekiah Lindsey. Since we know that Eliza Fisher Lindsey (his first wife) died when Hezekiah would have been about 90 years old, it seems unlikely that he remarried.

Information furnished to him by Tipton Lindsey of Visalia, California. LOCATIONS: To about 1760 - Scotland Abt. 1760-1794 - Ft. Pitt (Pittsburgh), Westmoreland, Pennsylvania By 1765 the Lindseys were in Westmoreland Co.,Pa, which was also claimed by Virginia. In 1781, Hezekiah was taxed in Allegheny Co., Pa. Abt. 1792-1795 Mason County, Kentucky 1793-Taxed in Mason Co., Ky. about 1795-1837 Clermont County, Ohio. 1800 Hezekiah Lindsey also owned land in Campbell Co.,Kentucky. From a letter dated Feb. 9, 1984 from Ruth Gilmour 31 Wade Wampton Drive Beaufort, South Carolina 29902 "I have no information at all as to where my Lindseys came from. I had assumed because they were out away from the East Coast that they were probably Scotch-Irish rather than from Scotland. My first indentification was on David Lindsey's pension papers, R6356, which indicate he served until the end of the War. Derry Township supposedly was one of the places the Scotch-Irish settled and took its name from Londonderry, Ireland. Charles K. Bolton's SCOTCH IRISH PIONEERS IN ULSTER AND AMERICA has a chapter on Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish and quotes I.D. Rupp's HISTORY OF LANCASTER COUNTY's list of landholders to include Lindseys (p. 281)... I have seen the book you mentioned, LINDSEYS OF AMERICA, when I was starting my research a few years ago at the Newberry Libary in Chicago... It is interesting that the DAR Patriot List shows your Hezekiah as serving in Virginia while son John was born in Westmoreland Co., Pa., which had been Bedford Co. till 1773. Your Hezekiah must have served in Augusta County, Virginia, which was so close to those Pennsylvania mountain counties...I drove through that area last spring on I-70, and could hardly believe the few miles between these areas where our ancestors lived...Pennsylvania and Virginia area right there together on the upper Potomac River..."

• This is from the Lindsey rootsweb message board from Susan Grabek concerning land sales and speculation on Hezikiah's family. Dear List, I hope that all of you who requested that I send the Thorndale works by attachment have received them. If you haven't, please let me know and I will try again. I sent all the snail mail requests out on Friday and Saturday, so you should get those in the next few days. And Carol, I'll get yours out this afternoon or tomorrow. It is sweltering here, and I usually venture out after the sun sets or before it rises! I have been studying the Long Marsh material by Thorndale to see if I could determine the location of the land that Hezekiah Lindsey owned on or near the Marsh. My goal is to figure out how Hezekiah and thus the other Fort Pitt Lindsey's, including my elusive William, will tie into the Lindsey's of the Marsh. I have a copy of a 1770 deed of release that I obtained from the Library of Virginia that refers to Hezekiah as an adjacent land owner in a transfer of land from Edmond Lindsey Sr. to his son Jacob Lindsey. Thorndale hypothesized that Jacob Lindsey might be a son of Edmond Sr. but the proof was not found until 1990, well after Thorndale wrote the letters. I have determined that the land Hezekiah "owned" is shown on the map on page 7 of Thorndale letter 3. It would be Parcel A, B, or C on that map. Below this message I have pasted a link to a web page that I created so I could show an illustration of the land I am referring to. I colored in the map on page 7 to sort out the owners, and I inserted it on the web page. My coloring job is crude, but it does help to show which Lindsey's owned which parcels of land. What I have found interesting and also puzzling is that on March 1, 1770, the date of the lease, Edmond Lindsey Jr. was named as the owner of the adjoining parcel. One day later, on March 2, Hezekiah Lindsey's name replaced all the references to Edmond Jr. in the release. Thorndale clearly shows Edmond Lindsey Jr. as the owner of the land. So why was Hezekiah written into the release? At first I thought that maybe he had inherited the land, but these Lindsey's never seem to have given any land away for free. Even the land that Thomas willed to his children in 1769 was later sold to them by Edmond Lindsey Sr. I can only imagine that there must have been a monetary reason to write in Hezekiah, perhaps a way to save on taxes. Does anyone have any ideas that might shed light on this? The other thing that I am mulling is what this means as far as Hezekiah's kinship with the Long Marsh Lindsey's. The land that he may have owned was originally owned by Edmond Lindsey Sr., who sold it to Edmond Lindsey Jr., whom Thorndale refers to as the presumed son of Edmond Sr. Can we presume that Hezekiah might also be a son of Edmond Sr., or at least closely related? According to family tradition Hezekiah and Edmond Jr. were brothers, though with a father named David. Though Thorndale says Edmond Sr. had an unnamed wife, his wife Elizabeth was named in many land transactions. I think it is safe to conclude that this was Elizabeth Beasley, who married Edmond Lindsey in Baltimore Co., MD in 1725. Could Elizabeth Beasley have been the mother of Hezekiah? There are numerous ties between the Beasley's and the Fort Pitt Lindsey's, including an Alice Beasley who lived with Hezekiah's family for a time in Westmoreland Co. PA, and whom John Lindsey, the son of Hezekiah, referrred to as his cousin. (link to a common belief that Elizabeth Beasley was Hez's mother, however she could have been an aunt.) If you are interested and have some time, please take a look at the deed and the map. I'd appreciate any feedback about Hezekiah's ties to this family.

• The History of Clermont County said the following men came from PA after 1796: Hezekiah Lindsey, Jesse Swem, Archibald Gray,Nethaniel Donham, William Abercrombie, John, Jacob and Daniel Light, Alexander Rob, John, Abner and Joseph Fagin all came from Pennsylvania. William Abercrombie, Nathaniel, William, and Able Donham along with Hezekiah Lindsey all attended the First Ten-Mile Regular Baptist Church in New Richmond. William Abercrombie sold land to Robert, Able, and John Donham. He also sold land to William Lindsy and Daniel Light. These men evidently were friends. Hezekiah was a veteran of the American Revolutionary War,serving as a private in the 9th Regiment, commanded by Colonel John Gibson of the Virginia Line for three years. He enlisted in Westmoreland Co., Pennsylvania. He was granted a pension of a month. Hezekiah Lindsey and his family came with Isaac Ferguson from Pennsylvnnia, and lived near him in Kentucky; and after coming to Clermont settled below him on the river-bottoms. He died about seventy years ago, leaving sons named Manley, John, Philip, Hezekiah, William, Elijah, and daughters who married Joshua Brown, of Ohio; John Fisher, of Monroe; John Gilman, Elijah Mattox, and Jesse Swem, all of Pierce. John Lindsey and his brother Philip settled in Brown County. Hezekiah married a sister of Reuben Laycock, and settled east of Palestine, in Pierce, where he died at the age of eighty-four years. Of his sons Philip removed to Kentucky, John died in Pierce, Levi was drowned in the army, William removed to Illinois, Stephen became a Baptist minister, and Marion still occupies the homestead. Several of the daughters married,­Rachel, David Wheeler, and Nancy, John Reece. 1 2 Sources: Text: Lindsey, Ken from evansville on the internet. Text: Karsten, Mel... Dec, 1996

• http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohclecgs/newsletter/revolution.html HEZEKIAH LINDSEY came from western Pennsylvania with the Fergusons and settled on the river bottoms, near New Richmond. He served in the Westmoreland regiment. He died about 1810 leaving children, to wit: Manley, John, Philip, Hezekiah, William, Elijah, Mrs. Joshua Brown, of Ohio, Mrs. John Fisher, of Monroe, Mrs. Jesse Swern, all three of Pierce township. Captain Lindsey made a dashing record in the service as a lieutenant, and in the Pennsylvania State archives is specially mentioned to Washington’s favor.
