Their wedding was in the old log church at West River, Indiana on November 24, 1842. She was the eldest daughter of Dempsey and Jane (Mills) Thornburg. They had seven children, Martha, Melinda, Cynthia, Miriam, Dempsey Thomas Dennis (our grandfather), Mary Ann and Oliver.

Irena was born August 1, 1824 on West river, Wayne county, Indiana. She died August 11, 1901. They are both buried at Nettle Creek Cemetery in Wayne County, Indiana.

It is said that Lindsey was generous to a fault with his children. A nice tribute to a father. Submitted by Kay Sutherland & Carolyn Thompson ... show more
