Notes:
James Robert Lindley was born in 1828 to Thomas and Sarah Elizabeth New Lindley, originally from Laurens Co., SC. The family moved to Randolph Co., AL in 1848, but James remained in Carroll Co., GA where he married Elizabeth about 1849 and then emigrated to Randolph Co. They had the following children: William Franklin, Thomas M., Nancy Ann, Amos, James Pinkney, and Sherman. James was wounded twice during the war for which he later received a pension. After the war was over, James, his brother Thomas Mark and several other men from Randolph Co. were forced to live in the surrounding woods for about three weeks due to the animosity between the USA and CSA soldiers. Their families finally convinced their neighbors to leave them alone. Elizabeth died in 1879, leaving James with a small child. He then married Lavinia Halpin Mize who was the widow of James Robert Mize, nephew of James. Lavinia died June 8, 1909 and is buried at Union Hill Church Cemetery.Buried:
