Lindsley, John, 1777-1849.

Joseph Lindsley was born near Dover, Morris County, New Jersey on December 31, 1777. The son of Samuel Lindsly (fl. 1760-1827), a Revolutionary soldier who was wounded at Elizabethtown, September 1777, Joseph Lindsley was a blacksmith based in Jefferson Township, Morris County. The birthplaces of his children suggest that he moved and worked around Morris, Warren, and Sussex counties during his life. He married twice, though little is known of his first wife who died leaving him one son. On March 7, 1807 he married his second wife, Sarah Adams (1785-1854), with whom he had a family of six: Phebe Ann (1808-1869), Ephraim (1811-1884), Thomas Adams (1812-1871), Silas Young (1816-1900), Stephen Adams (1819-1897), James Dickerson (fl. 1823-1861). Joseph Lindsley died on July 22, 1849, near Branchville, Sussex County, New Jersey.
