This is another of those postings in which I’m sharing new information about someone regarding whom I posted information in the past. This new material has to do with Samuel Asbury Lindsey (1826-1865), a son of Dennis Lindsey and Jane Brooks of Lawrence County, Alabama. As the posting I’ve just linked states, on 12 October 1848 in Lawrence County, Samuel married Mary Jane Hunter, daughter of John T. Hunter and Louvisa Bentley.

The first four children of Catherine Calhoun and Alexander Noble were as follows (a subsequent posting will provide information about the couple’s other children):
Or, Subtitled: “Mrs. Hunter seems mortified at the asperity shown by Mr. Hillhouse, in consequence of his furnishing the ball-supper”
This posting is the last installment in a series of postings discussing the children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. This series began with a posting about Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children, which was followed with a posting about their next three children.

The children of Benjamin S. Green (1794-1860), son of John Green and Jane Kerr, and wife Margaret M. whose maiden surname I not discovered, were as follows:
Or, Subtitled: “On the Elyton road, the [stagecoach] change, usually considered necessary every fifteen miles, is said to have occurred regularly near Woodstock at the old Green house, called Halfway House”
As the previous posting states, when Jane Kerr Green relinquished her dower rights to the 1,345 acres she and husband John Green sold in Pendleton District, South Carolina, on 4 May 1818 — Jane released dower on 28 October 1818 — it appears to me that John and Jane were making preparations for the immediate move of their family to Alabama. I think it’s likely that the family left for Alabama not long after Jane’s dower release. Since, as will be shown below, when John and his sons Benjamin and Joscelin had certificates for federal land in Bibb County, Alabama, in June 1823, with the certificates stating that the Green men were living in Tuscaloosa County, I think the Green family initially settled in Tuscaloosa County before moving to the contiguous county of Bibb, where they settled in the northwest corner of Bibb not far from the Tuscaloosa County line.
Two postings in the past, I brought the story of Samuel Kerr Green up to 1830, as I tracked Samuel after he left Nashville and his Nashville-New Orleans trading firm Young, Green and Co. in 1820 or 1821 and went to south Louisiana. When I wrote that posting, I had thought that Samuel went directly from Nashville to south Louisiana. But as the last posting indicates, I was wrong in thinking this. As I discovered when I began delving into a number of references I had found to Samuel K. Green in records of Arkansas Territory in the 1820s, Samuel first went to Arkansas Territory when he left Nashville in 1820 or 1821, settling in Arkansas County along the Arkansas River not far upriver from the oldest settlement in Arkansas, Arkansas Post, which was the territorial capital up to 1821 and had been experiencing an economic and demographic boom right before Samuel went there.
