General Notes: Husband - William Lindsey


He was the first settler in what is now Sugar Grove Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. In 1796 he took up a tract of 200 acres on the Little Shenango, and erected a 10x12 log cabin thereon. All the territory now embraced in Sugar Grove, Salem, Otter Creek and Hempfield was originally Salem Township, and the descend­ants of pioneers, in telling of the early settlers of that portion of Mercer County, usually speak of them as first settling in Salem. Lindsey sold his improvement to James Walker in the fall of 1797, who immediately took pos­session. After selling out to Walker Lindsey settled another tract farther up the Little Shenango. [HMC 1888, 599]


General Notes: Wife - Agnes Roberts
