Notes

Robert Lindsay came to VA abt the same time as the Rev David Lindsay. He is first mentioned in the records of Northumberland in 1665 when he testified on behalf of Susanna Lindsay and gave his age as twenty four. In the mid 1660s he had gone twice to Bristol and sailed back to VA. The assumption that he was the son of the Rev David Lindsay by his first wife has been disproved and the true relationship established by Mr. Donald Whyte, F.S.A. Scot., L.H.G., acting on behalf of Jo White Linn who prepared for Gordon Gray Esq., former Secretary of War under President Truman, the excellent genealogy entitled "The Gray Family and Allied Lines". Mr. Gray is a descendant of Robert Lindsay of The Mount, Fairfax Co. VA.

Mr. Whyte found in the Scottish records that Sir Hierome Lindsay and his second wife Agnes Lindsay had dau Rachael (1612-1645) who married 1640 Lt. Col. Bernard Lindsay (1603-after 1646) of Lochehill, SCT, a distant cousin. Therefore, both Helen and Robert Lindsay were grandchildren of Sir Hierome Lindsay. Robert was also a great grandson of Sir David Lindsay of The Mount.

A close relationship did exist between Rev David Lindsay and Robert Lindsay, possibly related to the fact that Robert's mother died immediately after his birth and his father was engaged in military service, and Rev David may have undertaken to raise Robert in his home and brought Robert to Virginia with him.

p. 76 Fourteen years after the death of the minister, 1681, the records of Northumberland Court House show that a "Robert Lyndsay of Cherry Poynt was a resident". This is proof he lived near the minister as the minister's home was in Cherry Poynt in this county.

"Robert Lindsay made oath concerning a statement of one Richard Thompson who circulated a malicious and scandalous report about the wife of Mr. David Lindsay, for which he was indicted and convicted by Court." Northumberland Court House Records, January 1665.

"The "famous" case I referred to, which is familiar to many genealogists interested in Linds*ys, involves the early Virginia settler Robert Linds*y (born 1641), progenitor of one American branch of the family. For well over a century he was widely assumed to be the son of the Reverend David Linds*y (1603-1667). More recently, one of my cousins hired an eminent genealogist who determined that Robert was actually the son of Rev David's half-sister Rachel Linds*y (1612-1645) and her husband Bernard Linds*y (born 1603).

If this scenario is in fact correct (and I understand it's now generally accepted to be so), then Robert's Y-chromosome DNA would have come from the less prominent Bernard, whose exact lineage is apparently uncertain, rather than from the line of wealthy noblemen to whom it was previously attributed.
Their genetic contribution would have been passed through Robert's mother instead, thus not affecting his Y-chromosome DNA."
