Notes
a. Note:   Jacob was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
  This seems to be the first spelling change in the Linsley line, whether it's intentional or not, it does seem to have changed. Looking at the land records as far back as 1785, we notice our name spelled as follows, L-i-n-s-l-e-y, but then around 1797 the spelling has change to L-i-n-d-s-l-e-y and L-i-n-d-l-e-y. When we look at Jacob's will, we also find the "d" included in his name, and all his heirs, this spelling of our last name is done by the person writing the will and not by Jacob himself, this is evident by the way Jacob has signed it, with his mark. Jacob's second wife Hannah also used the second spelling, this can be found in the Widows Claim where she has signed her name. (Land Records, Bristol, CT & Probate Records, Connecticut State Library, Hartford, CT)
  Jacob appears to have settle in Bristol, part of Farmington, CT, where he is of record in the Congregational Church as a Baptist contributing to the Southington Society (12 Apr 1780). On 16 Sep 1793 he is recorded as having a child that died, and then again on 1 Nov 1799 as having a son that died at age 20, in both cases there's no name. On 8 Jun 1798, he is among those not paying tax, and then in Nov 1799 he is listed as being a Methodist. He died at Bristol, CT on 24 May 1810 age 70 years. (All from Congregational Church Records)
  From: Abia Lindley Family History
