Residence

On the night of the Census Record of 1841, we find Thomas (Lindsay) residing with his wife Elizabeth "Betsy" (Auchterlonie/Lonie) and their children James, Thomas and Robert (Lindsay) at Cottar House No. 4, near Kenly Farmhouse, south of the Village of Boarhills, in the Parish of St. Andrews and St. Leonards, Fife, Scotland^[3]. In 1851, the family have moved to the Settlement of Teuchats, near the Village of Kirkton of Largo, Parish of Largo, in Fife, Scotland. Thomas and Elizabeth reside there with children James, Robert, Archibald, Alexander, Agnes Webster and Janet (Lindsay)^[4].

In 1861, Thomas and Elizabeth "Betsy" live with children Janet, Peter and Christian (Lindsay) in the Hamlet of Burnside, southwest of the Village of Blackford, in the District of Blackford, Perthshire, Scotland^[5]. However, by 1875, Thomas and Elizabeth "Betsy" have emigrated and have now settled down and bought some land in the Town of Colchester, Delaware County, in New York, United States. Their surname, however, is spelt incorrectly on the Record as "Lindsly"^[6].

Thomas and Elizabeth are still living in the Town of Colchester, New York in 1880 with their son Alexander (Lindsay)^[7]. Alexander has moved away with the Census of 1892 and only Thomas and Betsy are living in the Town of Colchester, Delaware County, New York, United States^[8]. We find the couple still in the Town of Colchester, Delaware County, New York with the 1900 Census^[9].

Immigration

According to the Census Record of 1900, Thomas and Elizabeth "Betsy" (Lindsay) emigrated in 1870 to the Town of Colchester, Delaware County, New York, United States.
