I have been looking at your Home page on FTM genealogy site. I find
three names that intrigue me. I had a gr gr gr grandmother Sally
Lindsey who married Joseph Hodge and then Robert Wilson. I have found
that Sally's mother was Jane Kerr and her father was Eli Lindsey. Jane
Kerr's father was James Kerr and her mother was Rowena Spear. I don't
know how to find better information from your family tree. Are we in
the same ball park? I need more info on the Lindseys, Hodge, Kerr or
Carr and Spear. My gr gr grandmother was Margaret Caroline Hodge
Hanson. I knew my gr grandmother Sarah Ann Hanson Foss.
Thank you for your time and trouble. Would be glad to hear from you.
Sincerely, Arlene Strate >>
I pulled this information from the Family Treemaker's World Family Tree CD #1
[Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3548, Date of Import: Apr 11, 1997]
The data from this contributor, at least what I saw of it, was quite sketchy.
But the non-Kerr lines you are interested in weren't of much interest to me,
so I didn't review the quality of that information.
I can tell you that Eli and Jane had nine little Lindseys based on the data,
but there are no dobs for any of them. Their daughters Ann and Sally Lindsey
both married Unknown Hodge, according to this record.
I'm not the one to probe those details with, since they are a bit off the tree
for me. They don't happen to be in my Carr line, so I don't venture far
afield in those cases due to limited disk space. I have 15 MB of data, about
15,000 names so far!
You might try contacting James Webb, who had an interest in Eli Lindsey as per
the following correspondence:

We share some names in our family tree's, and I was hoping you would share
your information. I am still fairly new at this so I don't have much to
share in return. Eli or Elisha Lindsey who was married to Jane Carr dates
unknown. Eli was my fourth great grandfather. Looking forward to hearing
from you.
