Notes:

An attachment to an e-mail dated 08-16-2010 by Candace Wicks was a bio of Alanson Lindley. It was given to her by Joyce Tice. It reads as follows:

ALANSON LINDLEY is a native of Vermont, and was born in Tinmouth, Rutland Co., March 4th 1799. In the way of education he had the advantages afforded by the common schools of his native town. At the age of 20 he left Vermont and came to New York State and taught school one winter, at Fort Ann, New York, and one at Catherine, two more winters at Middletown, Vermont, and two at Washington, N.Y. Tus time passed until he was 27 years old, when he moved to Cooperstown, Venango County, and engaged in the business of wool carding and cloth dressing, with James Kingsley, continueing there for eight years. May 6th, 1835, Mr Lindley came to Meadville and bought the fulling mill built and owned by Lot Lewis, which stands on Mill Run, on what is now Liberty street. Since then Mr. Lindley has made Meadville his home, carring on the fulling mill to the present, though of lae years he has not been its active superintendent. Mr. Lindley has been connected with the affairs of his adopted town; as a borough counclman in 1842, as Poor Master, School Director, in 1862-3 Collector of Taxes. A business man of enterprise, he purchased, in company with John radle, the old Red Mil property at the head of Water Street, from Wn. A.V. Magaw, and ran it for 7 years under the firm name of Radio and Lindley. At the end of that thime they sold out to Wm. Still and Dr. E. Ellis. On November 1859, Osiah Sackett, one of the native young men of Meadville, died suddenly in Columbia Parish, La., and it was necessary to return his body to the stricken parents. Mr. Lindley undertook the sad journey, and on February 6, 1860, disinterred the body, and taking charge of it, brought it home, an arduous undertaking. When the new First Presbyterian Church at Meadville was completed, in the year 1874, Mr. Lindley ordered and bought the bell, 1200 pounds weight, and it now hangs in the tower, with the name of the donor cast in the metal, with the date of its making. He was also largely interested in the furnishing of the pews of the same church.

Mr. Lindley was married in 1825, to Lucretia Kingsley, of Fort Ann, Washington Co., New York. She died July 14, 1886. January 1837 he was married to Charlotte D. Martin of Erie Co., Pa., who died in 1862.

Note: I believe Lucretia must of died in 1836, not 1886, if he remarried in 1837.
