A Patriot of the American Revolution for MARYLAND with the rank of LIEUTENANT. DAR Ancestor # A070562
fought in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. 2ND LIEUT under CAPT Henry Baker, LINGANORE BATTALION;
His parents were Anthony Lindsay and Alice Page
Anthony Lindsay Jr was the son of Anthony Sr and (Mrs) Alice (Tolson) Lindsay, and was born in Prince Georges Co, MD in 1736. He died at Lindsay Station, Scott, KY in 1808. Anthony Jr m. at Eldersburg MD, about 1756, Miss Rachel Anne Dorsey, dau of COL Nicholas and Sarah (Griffith) Dorsey. She was born at Eldersburg MD about 1738 and died at Scott Co, KY in 1805, and they are both buried at "Lindsay Station", just noth of Stamping Ground KY.
He served the British in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). In this conflict he served under George Washington when GOV Dinwiddie dispatched Washington to attack the French at Fort Duquesne. On 28 May 1754, Washington's troops defeated a small French Force near "Great Meadows", on the Monongahela River. After this Victory, Washington erected Fort Necessity. The Victory was short lived however, as on 3 July 1754, they surrendered to a superior French force. During the conflict Anthony Lindsay served as a dispatch rider/bearer between GOV Dinwiddie and Washington.
He and Rachel lived near Eldersburg till 1767 when they purchased land in Baltimore Co. from Rachel's bro Charles Dorsey. They remained here till their move to Frederick Co MD in 1774. In 1775 Anthony accompanied a Party led by Wm McConnel and Charles LeCompte on an exploration trip into the Elkhorn Region, near the present site of Frankfort KY, not returning to his Family in MD till the later part of 1776.
According to the MD Archives (Vol 16, Pg 37) he was listed as a 2nd LT in the Linganon Battalion of Frederick Co, in 1777. During 1777 Indian Attacks were numerous on the frontiers, and his service as an Indian Fighter was needed farther west. During this time he was serving Posts located near the Monogohela River.
According to letter #1111, 17 Jan 1777 from the COUNCIL OF SAFETY to GOV Patrick Henry (VA), he was appointed a 2nd LT in the VA Militia and served outposts under the jurisdiction of VA, most probably where Ohio Co, WV is now located.
Early in 1779 he moved the Family to the Upper Monogahela Valley in VA to the neighborhood of Buffalo Creek, settling a piece of land over which both VA and PA claimed jurisdiction, and they soon moved on to Westmorland Co, PA. This territory was not new to him as he had served here in the French & Indian War.
In 1784, while KY was still part of Fincastle Co, KY, the family moved to Heydens Station. It was located on the Kentucky River about a mile above current Frankfot KY. In 1790, Anthony Jr built a Fort and settled Lindsay Station in what is now Scott Co KY. The fort was a stockade containing 3 cabins and room for livestock. During the frequent Indian attacks, other families took refuge with the Lindsays, as for many years there were no settlements nearer than Herndons Station and McConnells, and these were 5 miles away.
In this dark and bloody ground, every man, woman, and child was a soldier, and all suffered for the common cause. Young boys, burdened by the weight of the long-rifle often did a mans duty at a loophole or behind a tree. Even the women did were as brave as any helmeted warrior. They ran the bullets, loaded the guns, and bound wounds in times of siege. In many instances the women themselves, used the trusty rifles with equal execution and deadly aim!
The Kentucky Historical Society marked the site of Lindsay's Station with a Plaque which reads:
LINDSAYS STATION "Elkhorn Region first explored in 1775. Wm McConnell and Charles LeCompte led a party that included Antony Lindsay. In 1790 he built a fort here on the Old Buffalo Trace, main thoroughfare from Georgetown to the Ohio River. Lindsay's Grave is 100 yards north."

findagrave memorial Page: "fought in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. 2ND LIEUT under CAPT Henry Baker, LINGANORE BATTALION;
His parents were Anthony Lindsay and Alice Page
Anthony Lindsay Jr was the son of Anthony Sr and (Mrs)? Alice (Tolson) Lindsay, and was born in Prince Georges Co, MD in 1736. He died at Lindsay Station, Scott, KY in 1808. Anthony Jr m. at Eldersburg MD, about 1756, Miss Rachel Anne Dorsey, dau of COL Nicholas and Sarah (Griffith) Dorsey. She was born at Eldersburg MD about 1738 and died at Scott Co, KY in 1805, and they are both buried at "Lindsay Station", just noth of Stamping Ground KY.
He served the British in the French and Indian War (1754-1763). In this conflict he served under George Washington when GOV Dinwiddie dispatched Washington to attack the French at Fort Duquesne. On 28 May 1754, Washington's troops defeated a small French Force near "Great Meadows", on the Monongahela River. After this Victory, Washington erected Fort Necessity. The Victory was short lived however, as on 3 July 1754, they surrendered to a superior French force. During the conflict Anthony Lindsay served as a dispatch rider/bearer between GOV Dinwiddie and Washington.
He and Rachel lived near Eldersburg till 1767 when they purchased land in Baltimore Co. from Rachel's bro Charles Dorsey. They remained here till their move to Frederick Co MD in 1774. In 1775 Anthony accompanied a Party led by Wm McConnel and Charles LeCompte on an exploration trip into the Elkhorn Region, near the present site of Frankfort KY, not returning to his Family in MD till the later part of 1776.
According to the MD Archives (Vol 16, Pg 37) he was listed as a 2nd LT in the Linganon Battalion of Frederick Co, in 1777. During 1777 Indian Attacks were numerous on the frontiers, and his service as an Indian Fighter was needed farther west. During this time he was serving Posts located near the Monogohela River.

During the frequent Indian attacks, other families took refuge with the Lindsays, as for many years there were no settlements nearer than Herndons Station and McConnells, and these were 5 miles away.
In this dark and bloody ground, every man, woman, and child was a soldier, and all suffered for the common cause. Young boys, burdened by the weight of the long-rifle often did a mans duty at a loophole or behind a tree. Even the women did were as brave as any helmeted warrior. They ran the bullets, loaded the guns, and bound wounds in times of siege. In many instances the women themselves, used the trusty rifles with equal execution and deadly aim!
