When Did Tabitha Cook Lindsey Pass Away

Tabitha Cook was born about 1805 to Daniel Cook and Ruth Moultrie of Chesterfield County, South Carolina. Her father died shortly after her birth, some say in 1812, but no actual death date has been found to prove his exact death date.

Her Mother, Ruth Moultrie Cook moved the family to Kentucky sometime around the year 1816. There at a very young age Tabitha married James Lindsey on 18 October 1819.

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

The James and Tabitha Lindsey household in the 1820 Census:

1820 CENSUS: Trigg, Trigg, Kentucky; NARA Roll: M33_29; Image: 16; Page: 4; Line 13; Household of James LINDSEY; 1 Male over age 45; 1 Female over age 45; 1 male age 16-25 and 1 Female age 10-15. Also 8 slaves.

I have yet to determine the exact age of both James and Tabitha Lindsey. We do know that Tabitha was James’ 2nd Wife and that he had at least one son, Sackfield Sanford Lindsey, and two daughters from the first marriage. No children have been identified from the 2nd marriage and it is believed that Tabitha Cook Lindsey died quite young.

On 7 November 1825, “James Lindsey and Eleanor his wife sold a tract of land for the good will and affection the Sd. James Lindsey bears to his son, Sackfield S. Lindsey. It is believed that Eleanor is the 3rd wife of James Lindsey. Thus, Tabitha died before this land Deed was executed on 7 Novemeber 1825.   

James Lindsey wrote his will on 3 Mar 1837 in Trigg County, Kentucky. He left everything to his wife, Eleanor, and at her death the two daughters because Sackfield had already received his share. It is not known when James died but it was after the date of this Last Will and Testament.
