Variant names
Jacob Lindley was a male Quaker minister from Chester County, Pennsylvania. Lindley was born in New Garden to Jonathan and Deborah (Halliday) Lindley in November 1744. He became active in the ministry around 1774, and advocated non-violence during the American Revolutionary War. Lindley also worked for temperance and the rights of African Americans. In addition, he was involved in the Society of Friends' work with Native Americans and took part in the 1793 Sandusky River Council. In 1783 Lindley married Quaker minister Hannah Miller, the daughter of James and Rebecca Kirk Miller and widow of William Miller. Hannah died of Yellow Fever in 1798, and after two years Jacob was remarried to Ruth Anna Rutter, also a Quaker minister, in 1800. Jacob Lindley died in 1814 after being thrown from a carriage.
