Thomas Lindsay and his family lived in Scotland.  The names of his
children were: Thomas Jr., James, John, Martha, Mary, Ann and Jane.
James was married in Scotland to Charlotte Kettray, and came to
America and settled in St. Charles County, in 1817.  His children
were:  William, Ann, Thomas, James Jr., John, Agnes and Isabella.
Ann married John H. Stewart, and settled in Carroll County.  Agnes
married Addison McKnight, of Tennessee, who settled in St. Charles
County in 1817.  His mother settled in Missouri in 1800.  She was a
very brave and resolute woman, and killed several Indians during her
life.  On one occasion she had a horse stolen, which she followed 
forty miles, alone, found it and brought it home.  Mr. McKnight was
the owner of McKnight's Island, on the Mississippi River.  Isabella
Lindsay married Nathaniel Reid, of Virginia, who settled in St. 
Charles County, in 1839.  Mr. Reid was a carpenter and contractor,
and built the Insane and Blind asylums, and Westminister College, at
Fulton.  William Lindsay died a bachelor in St. Charles County. 
Thomas married Margaret Garvin, and was drowned in 1841, leaving a
widow and five children.  James was married first to Jane Black, of
Virginia, and after her death he married the widow of Dr. Benjamin
F. Hawkins, whose maiden name was Sarah Fleet.  Mr. Lindsay is an in-
telligent gentleman, and we are indebted to him for many interesting
items of family history.  John Lindsay married Mary Stewart, of 
Monroe County, MO.  Thomas Lindsay, Jr., settled in America in 1800,
and in St. Charles County in 1816.  He married Margaret Breckett, of
South Carolina.  John, son of Thomas Lindsay, Sr., settled in South 
Carolina, where he died.  Ann, his sister, married Peter Glendy, of
South Carolina, and settled in St. Charles County, in 1817.  The names
of their children were: James, Ellen, Thomas, Ann and Andrew.
