South Holston By 1797 Moses Lindsey and Letitia Breckenridge have moved their family to Washington County Virginia.

What was their homestead was just down the Virginia Creeper Trail from the Iron Horse Campground and Barn Dance at Roetown.

This land is at the confluence of the Laurel Creek and the South Holston River.

Current owner of the land is Jeannie Williams, a high school phys ed teacher.

The train used to go across this land, now it’s a bike trail.

Moses Lindsey, Jr. Born about 1788 VA (Sally Run or Walkers Creek) Served in War of 1812 (1813,1814) Resided S. Holston, to 1824, when 50 a. bought from Isaac Lindsey was sold. Resided Lodi, (Osceola Community) 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860 census. Died after Catharine Myers Born about 1792 NC Married Moses Lindsey 1813 by Elder John Jones Jr. Rush Creek Primitive Baptist Church Bore about 13 children Cared for 2 Woodard grandchildren in 1860 Died after 1860

The Rush Creek Chuch was built in 1822 of hand hewn chestnut logs. Moses Jr. and Catharine were married here in 1813 under an arbor by Elder John Jones Jr., and most likely helped to build the church.

Rush Creek Church with little kids (If it were 1822 when the church was built, could be our little Davy Lindsey running around).

Old chestnut logs inside (new siding outside covers the logs now)

Service is 4 hours long. Starts with a capella singing, then 5 sermons with singing between, then communion: the bread, the wine, the foot washing.

This is the Widener’s homestead at Rush Creek, the Lindsey’s could have been like this only on the South Holston.

Baptisms are done here where Bucks Bridge crosses South Holston River.

No doubt, a Lindsey fishing hole.

More on Elizabeth Lindsey Born about 1793 in Sally Run or Walkers Creek VA Grew up in Washington Co. on banks of South Holston where the Laurel comes in. We are not sure when she was married to Thomas H. Johnson, estimate it would be about 1810 or She bore about 5-8 children, including Barbara Johnson. Elizabeth is not listed on the 1860 Johnson Co census, but is on the 1850 and She is named and alive on a Johnson County Deed dated Aug So presumably her death is between that date and the 1860 census.
