From the Bible of Mary Atlanta Lindsey

Adam Linn Lindsey....

I am of Scotch descent. My mother was Irish, Peggy Linn. I was born in Trigg County, KY 4/8/1831.

My father moved to Lafayett County, MO in March of 1833. He settled in Benton County, near the county seat Warsaw

(which he named) on the Osage River. He was elected county judge of that county in 1835. He died (on the bench) in 1840.

Two years after his death, mother married Dr. John Morris and moved to Newton County, MO in the year 1843.

There I was principally raised. My mother died in Newton County, MO just ten years after my father's death.

My mother's people were of some prominence. Her cousin, Linn Boyd, was a representative in Congress, and once Speaker of the House.

Rev. Finis Ewing, another cousin, was one of the founder's of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.One of his brothers was a candidate for Governor of Missouri on the Know Nothing ticket. Bill Lindsey, one of my cousins, is a Representative in Congress at this time.

All of the Lindseys are Democrats and most of them are Baptists.

Both of my grandfathers were in the Revolutionary War. Grandfather Linn was wounded at the Battle of Cowpens. (So was his grandfather Lindsey.) I moved to Texas in the last days of 1858. Stopped at Decatur in Wise County, 3 January 1859. Served (in the Texas Rangers) until the War of 1862. Was at Flanangan's Ranch on the headwaters of the Leon River when I heard Lee had surrendered.

Came home and found Mary and the children in a destitute condition.

Going back to 1848. I was married to Mary Wormington, October 26, 1848, and settled down on a little farm of 80 acres, went to work, and accumulated property fast until 1852. In partnership with my brother, Felix, I engaged in the Mercantile business. Sold goods two years, quit the goods business, and went on a gold hunt in 1855. Spent all I had, traveled four long months. Came home a poorer and wiser man.

I am now living July 6th, 1895 in Springtown, Texas situated on the north side of Parker County, TX on the west fork of the great Trinity River in a belt of timber called the lower cross timbers of Texas.

Occupation: 1852-1854. Mercantile business

Biographical note: 1858, Camp Verde, Kerr County, TX. The U.S. Army post of Camp Verde was established in 1855 and the town of Camp Verde followed shortly thereafter. The military post was one of many situated to protect the Texas frontier. A post office for the Camp Verde community opened in 1858 and is still operating as part of the Camp Verde store. The community was subject to Indian attacks until after the Civil War as were other small towns along the frontier. Today the Camp Verde community consists of the Camp Verde store, the cemetery and the remains of the military post. The town is located in Kerr County. SUBMITTED BY: Henry Chenoweth

Camp Verde has a special historical significance. It was the site of the U. S. Army's research into the feasibility of using camels in the U. S. It seems that the experiment showed that camels would not be used and the animals were released. Stories are told of great beasts roaming thru the country frightening the residents. It seems that some of the camels were the great beasts and when released became wild. There may be some question concerning the truth of this but it makes a good story. H. H Colvin

It is now a ghost town.

General Notes: The Lindsey book says Thomas,

the Bandys desc of Fanny Lewis say Stephen Lewis and Letha Stinnet.

These notes are true, if indeed, this is the right Thomas Lewis!!

However, the Bandy desc of Fanny Lewis think Letha's husband was Stephen or Steven Lewis. Fanny was adopted by the man, Mr. Thorp, who helped start Add-Ran College. ACU, in Abilene, now.

He was president of it.

Posted by kyle (63.178.233.17) on November 18, 2001 at 22:12:00:

basicly, i need to know anything and everything about the battle of cow pens. It IS for a report for my 8th grade Social studies class and im sure you people who are regulars to this message board get this stuff all the time and it probably bugs the heck out of when people like me clutter up your message boards with trash like this, but i really need some help and i would really appreciate any information that you people out there could give me. I'll be back tomorrow to see if theres anything thing on here yet. If you read this much later then tomorrow night at around 11:00 don't bother because it will probably be to late for me to include it in my report.

Special thanks to anyone who responds,

They were md by the Rev. Chas. Hill of Ramdan.

Fact.¹ It was said Adam Linn was a Descendant of Robert Burns, the Scottish poet. Robert Burns lived 1759-1796, so, however there is a kinship this Adam is not Robert Burn's descendant, but rather an antecedent. (Sic)
