Samuel Lindsay was the first of eight children born to Judge Robert Lindsay (c.1735-1801) and his second wife Ann "Nancy" McGee (1753/4-1832) who were married 23 June 1772. I am not certain of his birthdate, but he would have been born sometime circa 1773-5. (The next child was born in 26 Sept. 1776). Samuel had two older half siblings.
Samuel's paternal grandfather was John Lindsay, about whom I know very little. His maternal grandfather was Col. John McGee (d. 1773), who had come to North Carolina sometime prior to 1749, probably from Maryland. I believe his maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Ridge, daughter of Godfrey and Ann Ridge of Spottsylvania Co., Virginia.
Samuel's father, Robert Lindsay, probably came from the Maryland/Pennsylvania border to NC in the 1750s. (I believe he was probably a member of the Nottingham Colony of Scots Irish Presbyterians who made that move in 1753). Robert Lindsay was a Captain in the NC Militia, a member of the first independent NC Legislature in 1777 and 1778, and presiding judge of Guilford County from 1781 to 1788. He owned a 2,000 acre plantation on Deep River. (His home was used as the meeting place of the Guilford County Court from the founding of the county in 1771 until a court house could be built in 1774. A fragment of the old home remains, though in ruined condition).
Samuel married Henrietta E. "Hettie" Causey on 30 April 1801 (Randolph Co., NC marriage bond date). They lived on "Stinking Quarter." a branch of the Haw River in southeastern Guilford County, and Samuel also owned land in Randolph County. Samuel was elected to the North Carolina House of Commions in 1797, 1799 and 1800, and to the NC Senate in 1801, 1803, 1804 and 1810. He served as a Lieutenant in the 7th Regiment (Pearson's), North Carolina Militia during the War of 1812. While his listed rank in the records was Lieutenant, his estate papers refer to him as Major, so he must have been promoted at some point. He died sometime in 1813 or 1814.
The children of Samuel Lindsay and Hettie Causey were: Letitia M. A. Lindsay (c 1802-aft. 1850, m. Col, John B. Crump), William Robinson David Lindsay (c.1803-1879, married 3 times: Rebecca C. Dick, Lydia Mary Hogg, Mrs. Jane Carter Aiken), Dr. Isaac James Madison Lindsay (1804-1854, m. Jane Erwin Dick), Ann Lindsay (1805-1873, m. Malachai Pegues, went to Alabama, then Louisiana), Robert Lindsay (c. 1807-c. 1837, m. Jane Beeson, went to Alabama), and Laura Ann Lindsay (c.1809-, m. John Dunham Clancy).
