They have two sons:

Robinson Tate Lindsay

Jonathan Houghton Lindsay

We mutually ended the marriage in 1999. While married, I was a stay-at-home mom to be there for my sons when they needed me. Not to mention, I did not want someone else influencing my sons about things I did not approve. I kept a clean & tidy home. I learned to bake, volunteered for school, the church, even the Junior League of Knoxville. I exercised to stay healthy and energetic. I learned to herb garden, making herbal vinegars, and wreaths to give as gifts. After I divorced, I went back to school to get an AA in Paralegal Studies. I graduated Magna Cumma Laude. I was very proud of myself. I didn't do so well with the BA. But, I did graduate, and now I have two college degrees.

In late 2004, I went to work as a caregiver to a woman who suffered a massive stroke. I did not want to do this, but they really wanted me to work with her & rewarded me by the salary I was paid. In 2008. I worked for the University of Tennessee as an Administrative Assisstant for four (4) years at which time I had to resign due to an injury I sustained in 2011 that took forever to heal.

I had to have major surgery for a torn ligament in my left hip joint. It was an ordeal to recover from. I could not return to work as I was a liability driving on the road. I wasn't healed. I couldn't walk, I couldn't sit-up. Worse time in my life, but the silver lining was, I had lots of time to create a black and gold thread ten band hand-embroidered Sampler, that is a masterpiece! It took me a year to do it working on it everyday. But, I have an orginial piece of Blackwork hand-embroidered stitchery with gold thread that no one else in the world has!

In 2013, I wanted to work again, partime, and I was hired as a medical secretary for a psychiatrist. I loved that job, but the owner had to have major surgery and closed the business. Since my injury limited everything I did, I attained disability. I had to learn how to do things all over again. I could not bend without pain. I could not walk more than 1/2 mile. (Still can't, but I try.) I was always in pain until I decided to try physical therapy. They worked patiently with me, and for the first time since 2010, I was out of pain. I am still limited to what I do. I can only dust the floors and furniture once a month. Twisting & turning is very bad for me. Every now and then, I will sew a friend an apron.

I hand embroidered during the 1990's and have over forty (40) samplers. I never married after my divorce. I dated, but the longer I was single, the more I loved my freedom. I cannot garden the way I used to, but I do grow my favorite herbs: Rosemary, lavendar, oregano, sage, cilantro, and common wormwood. I am glad I found genealogy to do because I was running out of ideas to keep me busy. I have learned alot about all my family, and I am amazed at their steadfastness to survive. I am very proud of my hertiage. Others in my family are doing genealogies, but their work has not taken them to our ancestors like Wikitree has for me. I am so blessed to have descended from hardworking and dedicated Patriots. It seems as most of my relatives are from Virginia. I wanted to live there long ago. So, working on the Virginia Project is just perfect for me. ^[4]
