John Lindsey, farmer, Crawford Co. (P.O., Culloden, Monroe Co.), Ga., son of 
William and Sallie (Brown) Lindsey, was born in Hancock County, Ga., in 1824.  
His paternal grandparents were natives of Virginia, where they spent their 
lives.  Mr. Lindsey’s father was born in Virginia, came to Georgia in 1814, and 
settled in Hancock County, afterward removing to Monroe County where he reared 
his family.  His principal occupation was that of a mechanic, and he served as 
a soldier in the war of 1812.  Mr. Lindsey’s maternal grandparents, Lewis and 
Sallie Brown, were natives of Virginia, and migrated to Georgia and settled in 
Baldwin County early in this century.  He was a farmer, and was a soldier in 
the patriot army during the revolutionary war.  Mr. Lindsey was reared on the 
farm and received a very limited education.  In early life he worked 
considerably as a mechanic, but afterward followed farming as a life pursuit.  
He made his first land purchase in 1840, to which he has gradually added by 
purchase, until now he owns about 600 acres, mostly cleared and under good 
cultivation.  Being exempt by age from regular service during the war, he was 
detailed as one of the home guard, and although he did faithful service, he 
made no exciting record.  Mr. Lindsey was married in 1851 to Miss Mary J. 
Harbuck, born in Warren County, daughter of James and Sarah (Thurman) Harbuck.  
He was a farmer, and moved early in life to Crawford county, and lived there 
all his life.  Of the children which blessed this union these five are living: 
Robert L.; Ella, wife of Louis Lindsey; Mack; Mattie and Mamie.  Mr. Lindsey is 
a member of the Methodist church and himself and family enjoy the respect of 
all who know them.
