James Alexander LINDSEY (born 1850, District 7, Johnson Co. TN, died 1935 in Kingfisher, OK) with hogs (not to be confused with the grandchildren) on his Kingfisher Oklahoma farm in the late 1920's or early 1930?s. His second wife Emogene GAY Lindsey (born 1850 Meshoppen, Wyoming Co., PA, died Oklahoma City OK 1940) is the apparition in white. [Maybe she wore white so she could get out of slopping the hogs].

Notes on James Alexander (JAL) Lindsey: Born 1850 Johnson Co. TN (parents David Lindsey and Barbara Johnson). David's parents are Moses LINDSEY Jr. and Catharine MYERS/MIRES of Washington Co. VA. Barbara's parents are Thomas H. JOHNSON AND Elizabeth LINDSEY of District 7, Johnson Co. TN. Moses LINDSEY Jr. and Elizabeth LINDSEY are both children of Moses LINSDEY Sr. and Leticia BRECKENRIDGE of Montgomery/Wythe Co. VA.

When JAL was about 12 years old (1862) his parents took the five children and left Johnson Co. TN by houseboat, going down Holston River, to Tennessee River, to Huntsville AL, where they waited out the Civil War. After the war they sold furniture bought in the south to northern communities along the Mississippi. They eventually settled in Iowa. JAL's father, David, and two sisters, Mary and Amanda died of typhoid in 1868 in Iowa. JAL attended Wilton College near his home in Iowa (Baptist), and also farmed. He married (1) Emma Farquahar, who died soon after the birth of son Ray Vernette LINDSEY; and (2) Emogene GAY, from Meshoppen, Wyoming Co. PA. Their two children, Stella and James Ahira were both born in a sod house in Iowa. Barbara JOHNSON LINDSEY died in 1891, and soon after the family left Iowa for land in Kingfisher OK. JAL's brother John and sister Elizabeth (also born in Johnson Co. TN) had gone on the second Oklahoma Land Run (Cherokee-Arapahoe Strip), and had land in Kingfisher County. Besides farming the Kingfisher farm, JAL was County Commissioner (road construction and maintenance, water etc.) from 1903 to 1911 (statehood came in 1907). He died there in 1935.
