The Lindsay Family

In compiling the following information regarding the History of the Lindsay families from Cootehill., County Cavan, Ireland, and their travels in crossing the Ocean and living in Bytown, Lower Canada, and then moving to the Township of Malahide, the County of Elgin in 1841, the details of this research were given to me by many branches of the family living in the Aylmer district and throughout the State of Michigan and some as far away as the States of Dakota, Washington, and California.

​

There is no doubt that there may be some errors in some of the dates of this History, but it checked very closely with dates on tombstones in many cemeteries in Malahide Township and in the State of Michigan where they were settled. At the present time the fourth and fifth generations are grown up and married, and there are hundreds of descendants of these old families. There were three or four groups commonly referred to as the Lindsays, Newells, and Nesbitts.

​

In setting up this History, the writer felt that all he could do was to set a basis that the younger generations could use. As there are so many groups living today, it would be impossible to go beyond the first and second generation of these people.

​

The writer of this note is Fred Lindsay, 78 Windermere Crescent, Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, and is the only living grandson of John and Martha Martin Lindsay. W. G. Lindsay, who was the son of Martha Martin and John Lindsay, was born in 1840 in Bytown was married three times, and the writer of this note was the oldest of the third family and happened to be the only one living who remembered meeting some of the old original settlers on the 9th concession of Malahide township. 

​

Lindsay History

​

A man by the name of John Lindsay was settled at Coote-hill. He married a girl by the name of Martha Wallace, who was born in Aberdeen, Scotland. They were employed as tenant laborers of what was known as the at Cootehill, County Cavan, Ireland.

​

They had a family of 8 children, 4 boys and 4 girls. The boys' names were: Tom Lindsay, John Lindsay, James Lindsay and William Lindsay. The girls names were: Hannah, Mary Ann, Phebe and Jane Lindsay.

​

All of these children were born at Cootehill. It is not known where John Sr. originated from. He may have been born in Scotland and crossed to Ireland where he married Martha Wallace. It also is not known how many of their 8 children were married in Ireland. It is known that Tom Lindsay oldest boy, was married in Ireland to Catherine Armstrong, and they had 2 girls born in Ireland.

​

It is also known that John Lindsay II Jr. born 1804, was married in Ireland to Martha Martin. She was born in Gibraltar in 1807, a daughter of Samuel Martin who was stationed in Gibraltar in the British army at that time. The Martin family were natives of Dublin, Ireland.

​

John Lindsay II and Martha Martin had 3 children born in Ireland. Their names were Jane Lindsay, Margaret Lindsay and Charles Lindsay. Jane Lindsay was born about 1826, Margaret Lindsay about° 1828 and Charles Lindsay, Jr. 1831. Sometime between the birth of Charles Lindsay and their next child, the Lindsays crossed the ocean in a sailboat with these children in their arms. They were 6 weeks on the Atlantic Ocean. It is not known for sure where they landed but it is believed they landed in Quebec, Canada, and went to Bytown where they lived for 8 years.

​

It is known that William Lindsay, who was single, crossed first - and alone - and he probably made arrangements for the rest of the family to follow. It is also known that John Lindsay I, then probably getting on in age, and his wife - Martha Wallace - followed the family, but may not have crossed at the same time. It is known that John Lindsay I was very sick on the way and some say that he died on the Ocean.

 

But it is believed that he survived the trip and died 6 weeks after he arrived in Bytown (now called Ottawa, The writer was told that he was buried in the rock and stone at Bytown, and that his wife - Martha Wallace - lived for some years and was still with the family when they arrived in Malabide Township. It has also been suggested that Martha Wallace Lindsay insisted that the family immigrate to America and establish new homes, because of the very poor conditions that existed in the old land. She apparently was a Scotch woman and very industrious, and many branches of the family may have benefited from her in the next two or three generations.

​

After they moved to Malahide Township, she still kept house for her son, Willian, until he married. When she passed away, she was buried in what was known as the Humphrey-Johnson cemetery. Later this cemetery was abandoned and William Lindsay removed her body and had her buried, the writer was told, in a Church of England cemetery, as the Lindsays belonged to Church of England in the old country. It might be suggested that Trinity Cemetery might have been established by this time, and as the name Trinity is English, the Lindsays had perhaps purchased plots in that cemetery.

​

She may have been buried by her oldest son, Tom Lindsay. John Lindsay II and Martha Martin Lindsay were both buried in Trinity. Tom Lindsay and Catherine Armstrong  were also buried in Trinity Cemetery, 8th Concession of Malahide Township. William Lindsay and his wife, Catherine Laton, were both buried at Aylmer in Aylmer Cemetery.

​

It is known that Hannah Lindsay was twice married and married her first husband in Ireland, whose name was Mr. Geno; and they had 2 children - names were David and Matilda. Her second husband was Robert Newell. She was married to her second husband, Robert Newell, while she was still in Ireland in 1829. The writer believes that the Newell and Lindsay families arrived in Bytown, Lower Canada, in separate groups.

​

It is not known whether Phebe Lindsay, who married James Armstrong, was married in Ireland or Bytown. It is also not known whether Mary Ann Lindsay and her husband, William Crawford, were married in Ireland or Bytown, Lower Canada. It is known that Jane Lindsay married James Newell Jr., a brother to Robert Newell, who was married to Hannah Lindsay, and that she was married in Hull, Quebec. He crossed the river from Bytown, Lower Canada.

​

James Lindsay had some misunderstanding with the family. It is not known whether he was married or single, but he left the family in Bytown and was never heard of afterwards, although some of the family in later years tried very hard to trace him.

​

William Lindsay remained single all the years he lived in Lower Canada and was still single when the families moved to Malahide Township. After he arrived in Malahide Township, he married Catherine Baton, whom it is believed was also from Bytown and probably knew William Lindsay in Lower Canada. Her mother was a widow and married a man by the name of McMillen and she was raised by the McMillen family. The McMillen family moved from Lower Canada to 

Avon, near Springfield, about the same time as the Lindsay families came to Maladhide Township.

​

In 1840 three members of the families that were living in Bytown, namely: William Lindsay, William Nesbitt and

Halanide Iornship and took 2 1of tor each nemter of the family. It is also believed that William Lindsay and James Newell, Jr. returned to Bytown afoot and that William Nesbitt remained in the district, and that all of the Lindsays and the Newells and the Crawfords and the Arm strongs, and two Nesbitt boys, arrived in Malahide Township in the late Spring of 1841 to claim their lots, which they settled on. It is also known that a man by the name of John Nesbitt, Sr. crossed the Ocean and settled in Bytown in 1823 and had a family of 14 boys, and it is believed that 2 of these boys - William and Joseph - joined the Lindsays and Newells and came to Malahide Township.

​

It is not known for sure whether Joe Nesbitt was already married to Martha Newell or whether they were married after they arrived in Malahide Township. But it is known that William Nesbitt was still single and married Betsy Lindsay (daughter of Tom Lindsay) shortly after the family settled in Malahide Township. All of these families drew lots of 100 acres apiece and got Crown Deeds in the Township of Malahide. These deeds were not issued until nearly 20 years after they had done certain clearance duties and established themselves in the Community. In the old settlement, John Lindsay had 100 acres of land, Tom Lindsay had 100 acres of land, William Lindsay had 100 acres and Jane Newell Lindsay had 100 acres of land. William Crawford and his wife had probably 50 acres of land, and James Armstrong had 50 acres of land close to Springfield. Hannah Lindsay and her husband, Robert Newell, were unable to get  a lot in the old settlement, and drew a lot at Crampton, north of Springfield. Also William Nesbitt drew a lot of 100 acres. Joe Nesbitt drew a lot of 100 acres in the old settlement in the swamp, but decided not to settle on it, and drew a second lot near the village of the Springfield line where he lived the rest of his life. His wife was Martha Newell.

​

While the Lindsays were still in Bytown living in shantys, they were employed by a man named Filion Wright, a Connecticut Yankee who walked up the ice on the Ottawa river in the middle of the winter in the year of 1800 and received from the government 1,000 acres of Timber Limits on the Hull side of the river across fron Bytown. He hired these Irish famalies to cut the logs and pile them up along the river. Then each Spring he rolled them into the river and floated them to Quebec City where he sold. them to the Shipping Companies. This provided permanent employment for this whole family where they were located in Bytown, Lower Canada.

​

While the Lindsays were still in Bytown, it is not known how many children were born there in some families, but John Lindsay II and his wife, Martha Martin, had 4 children born in Bytown (note: 3 previous ones were born in Ireland). Their names were Mariah Lindsay, born 1834, the first child born to John and Martha Lindsay in Canada; Elizabeth Lindsay, the next one born, in 1836; Ann Lindsay born in 1839 and William George Lindsay, born October 31, 1840. When he was 6 weeks' old, John and Martha Lindsay had a fire and burned out. John Lindsay took the children and his wife, Martha, and covered them up in straw in a shed with a few blankets he saved from the house. Martha Lindsay, his wife, took a chill from the fire, but he had saved a bottle of whiskey and sat down beside her and did not go to sleep. Every little while he gave her a swallow  of whiskey through the entire night, at the same time telling her, "Martha, you must not leave me," and the next morning she was better and their worries were over.

​

The next Spring, 1841, all of the Lindsays, Newells and Nesbitts, arrived in Malahide Township, coming by boat up the Great Lakes, where they lived the rest of their lives.

​

John and Martha Lindsay had 4 more children, born in Malahide Township: James Lindsay, born 1842; John Lindsay III, 1844; Samuel Lindsay, 1847, and Robert Henry Lindsay, 1850. All of them lived and grew up and married. John and Martha Lindsay did not lose any of their family. John Lindsay died in 1874 and is buried in Trinity Cemetery on the 8th Concession in Malahide Township. His wife, Martha Martin Lindsay, lived 10 years after her husband died. She was a singer and had a beautiful voice, and did a lot of entertaining among the old families. One of the great treats, they said, was to get Aunt Mattie to sing for them all. She was also a friend to all of them and it was common knowledge that any place she might happen to be was her home, and she could stay as long as she liked. All she had to do was hang up her hat. When she was getting to be quite an old lady and some of her children were married and gone, she put a pillow on the buckboard of a wagon and rode to Emmett Michigan with her oldest son, and also visited some of her other children in that area.
