Treasure Chest Thursday~Marriage, Cook and Lindsay

Transcription:

State of Kentucky}
Christian County)
         I do hereby certify that in pursuance of a Licensee from the Clerk of Sd County I  Solemnize the rites of Matrimony between James Lindsay & Tabitha Cook on the 18th October 1819.----                                                 Abner Boyd

On 18 October 1819 in Hopkinsville, Christian County, Kentucky, James Lindsay and Tabitha Cook were united in marriage by Abner Boyd. 

Tabitha Cook was a daughter of Daniel Cook , Sr. and his wife Ruth Moultrie. Sometime around 1812 her father, Daniel passed away and her mother Ruth Moultrie Cook moved her family from Chesterfield County, SC  to Trigg County, Kentucky.

I have found very little information about James and Tabitha after their marriage.

But in November 1825 James Lindsay did convey 333 acres of land in Trigg County to his Mother-in-law Ruth Cook (DBook B, page 276 & 277).

This Indenture made this 21st day of November 1825, Between James Lindsay of the County of Trig and State of Kentucky of the one part and Ruthy Cook of the County of Stewart and State of Tennessee of the other part.

There are two James Lindsay’s in the 1820 and 1830 census. In one 1830 Lindsay household James is 70-79 with no wife. In the other, he is 20-29 with a wife the same age. The latter matches what I have as probable birth years for James Lindsay and Tabitha Cook.  

If you are related to James Lindsay or Tabitha Cook I would like to hear from you.

Tabitha Cook Lindsay, the wife of James, is my 1st Cousin 6 times removed.
