Lindsley,  Joseph--Reinterred at Evergreen 23 Nov 1866 Location F-35--[Ed.  Note:  The information provided by Chambers is insufficient to provide a connection with others with the same name included in The Combined Registers or either the Vail or Parker compilation.  If Joseph Lindsley is,  in fact,  Joseph B. Lindlsey,  listed below,  a connection is established to five other children of Jesse & Margaret Lindsley,  who died in infancy between 1851 and 1856 i.e.,  Mary E.,  Matthew,  Orlando,  Samuel P.,  and William B.  However,  the markers of Joseph B.  Lindsley and his siblings still are identifiable in Segment 9]. 

Lindsley,  Joseph B.--9/34--Son of Jesse & Margaret Lindsley,  d.  28 Jul 1849,  age 7 months 17 days.  [Ed. Note:  Not found in The Combined Registers.  See  Lindsley,  Mary E.;  Lindsley,  Matthew;  Lindsley,  Orlando;  Lindsley,  Samuel P.;  and Lindsley,  William B.].

Lindsley,  Joseph,  Major--29/4--d.  8 Oct 1822,  age 87.  [Ed. Note:  CR136 & 139 show Son of Daniel & Grace (_______) Lindsley,  b.  1735,  1st m.  Anne _______,  probably before 1763.  Joseph & Anne were parents of six i.e.,  Bathiah,  Grace,  Susannah,  Squire,  Jemima,  and Anna.  Anne d.  8 Dec 1779,  age 37.  Joseph 2nd m.  Mary Gardiner 1 Oct 1781.  Joseph & Mary were parents of five i.e.,  Phebe,  Joseph M.,  Ira,  Matthew Gelston,  and Mary.  Joseph was elected an Elder 31 Jul 1777.  CR314 makes reference to Major Joseph Lindsley,  Son of Benjamin & Sarah (_______) Lindsley as the "Blind Major."  The nickname appears to have been applied in error.  Later research (i.e.,  Bartenstein,  Fred & Isabel,  New Jersey's Revolutionary War Powder Mill,  Morris County Historical Society,  Morristown,  NJ,  1975,  at Pages 158-161),  show Major Joseph Lindsley,  Son of Daniel & Grace (_______) Lindsley,  was the "Blind Major," who helped build and operate Ford's Powder Mill.  The error of identifying Benjamin's Son Joseph as the "Blind Major" is easily understood,  as Benjamin Lindsley lived for many years on property  adjacent to the Powder Mill].

Lindsley,  Mahlon--NL Segment 31--Son of David & Tahpenas Lindsley,  d.  13 Oct 1816,  age 29.  [Ed. Note:  CR136, 138, 184, & 234 show Son of David & Tapena (Pierson) Lindsley,  m.  27 Apr 1809 to Eunice Tompkins,  Daughter of Uzal Tompkins and his 2nd Wife Susannah Benjamin.  CR136 show Mahlon d.  1 or ?13 Oct 1816,  age 29.  No children found in The Combined Registers].

Lindsley,  Mary--NL Segment 29--Wife of Major Joseph Lindsley,  d.  4 Apr 1828,  age 79.  [Ed. Note:  See Lindsley,  Joseph,  Major.  The numbering sequence of Parker's Survey suggests interment at Site 5].

Lindsley,  Mary E.--9/35--Daughter of Jesse P. & Margaret Lindsley,  d.  25 Jun 1851,  age 4 years 2 months.  [Ed. Note:  Not found in The Combined Registers.  See Lindsley,  Joseph B.;  Lindsley,  Matthew;  Lindsley,  Orlando;  Lindsley Samuel P.;  and Lindsley,  William B.].

Lindsley,  Mary Elizabeth--NL Segment 28--Daughter of Matthew & Abigail Lindsley,  d.  11 Mar 1841,  age 25.  [Ed. Note:  Parker shows date and age from Church Records.  CR139 show Daughter of Matthew Gelston & Abigail (Beers) Lindsley.  The numbering sequence of Parker's Survey and the proximity to William Francis Lindsley at Site 28/17 and Matthew Lindsley at Site 28/19 suggests that the displaced whitestone markers at Sites 28/16 & 28/18 are those of Abigail and two of the Daughters of Matthew & Abigail i.e.,  Mary Elizabeth & Phebe].

Lindsley,  Matthew--9/37--Son of Jesse P. & Margaret Lindsley,  d.  21 Nov 1854,  age 7 months.  [Ed. Note:  Information confirmed CR139.  See Lindsey,  Joseph B; Lindsley,  Mary E.;  Lindsey,  Orlando;  Lindsley,  Samuel P.;  and Lindsley,  William B.].

Lindsley,  Orlando--9/38--Son of Jesse P. & Margaret Lindsley,  d.  30 Sep 1856,  age 2 months.  [Ed. Note:  Not found in The Combined Registers.  See Lindsley Joseph B.;  Lindsley,  Mary E.;    Lindsley,  Matthew;  Lindsley,  Samuel P.;  and Lindsley,  William B.].

Lindsley,  Phebe--NL Segment 19--Wife of Hiram Lindsley,  d.  17 Feb 1803,  age 22.6.  [Ed. Note:  CR264 show Phebe Wood,  Daughter of Samuel & Rebekah (Munson) Wood,  b.  231 Aug 1780.  See Lindsley,  Hiram.  The numbering sequence of Parker's Survey suggests Site 8].

Lindsley,  Phebe--NL Segment 28--Daughter of Matthew & Abigail Lindsley,  d.  13 Feb 1826,  age 2.  [Ed. Note:  Parker shows date and age from Church Records.  CR139 & 140 show Phebe,  Daughter of Matthew Gelston & Abigail (Beers) Lindsley,  Baptized 6 Jun 1824 and Phebe Ann d.  13 Feb 1826,  age 2. The numbering sequence of Parker's Survey and the proximity to William Francis Lindsley at Site 28/17 and Matthew Lindsley at Site 28/19 suggests that the displaced whitestone markers at Sites 28/16 & 26/18 are those of Abigail and two of the Daughters of Matthew & Abigail i.e.,  Mary Elizabeth & Phebe].

Lindsley,  Samuel P.--9/33--Son of Jesse & Margaret Lindsley,  d.  12 Aug 1853,  age 6 months.  [Ed. Note:  Not found in The Combined Registers.  See Lindsley, Joseph B.;  Lindsley, Mary E.; Lindsley, Matthew; Lindsley, Orlando; and Lindsley, William B].
