George Lind arrived in Shenandoah County, Virginia in 1774 (from New Jersey, according to a statement he made when he was preparing to move to Ohio) and is listed in a 1785 census of the county with a family of four (himself and wife included). George owned land near present-day Lebanon Church, a few miles northwest of Strasburg in the northern end of the county. In the circuit court records of the 1790s and early 1800s George is mentioned frequently because he served as the county coroner.
(information compiled by Daniel Bly)
George purchased two adjoining tracts of land totally 285 acres on the drains of Mulberry Run in northern Shenandoah County in 1802 from Christian Neuschwanger. (Shenandoah County Deed Book M, p. 691). He sold this land to Daniel Funkhouser in September 1812 (Deed Book T, p. 187).

About 1812, his father George Lind and most of his family moved to Warren Co., Ohio. Andrew appears in Shenandoah County personal property lists through 1815 and by 1820 is listed in the 1820 census of Warren County, Ohio (Hamilton Township).
By 1830 he was living in Miami Township, Hamilton County, Ohio and appears in various Hamilton County records and became a Township clerk for Miami Township in 1836 until 1838.
By 1839 he is listed as "deceased" in the estate records of his father, George Lind, who died in Warren County, Ohio in 1825.
In the 1840 census of Hamilton County, Ohio, Rachel Lind is listed as head of a family. She was deceased by 1846 when the estate of Andrew Lind of Hamilton County was probated. Unfortunately these records no longer exist- only the name and date on an index.

Family tradition has passed down the story that Dr. Charles Lind had been himself ill and had mixed his own medication. After taking his own mixture he realized that he had used the wrong ingredients and only had time to proclaim that "I have just killed myself." Then he died.

RACHEL BLY LIND
1782-1846
Profile by Daniel Bly
last modified Jan. 18, 2019
Biography
Rachel Bly, the second child of Jacob and Catherine, was
born in the Cedar Creek Valley, Shenandoah County, Virginia, in 1782 and
married Andrew Lind in 1804. The Blys were on Cedar Creek on the western side
of Little North Mountain and Linds were on Mulberry Run, a tributary of Cedar
Creek, a few miles away on the east side of the mountain. In 1812 Andrew's
father, George, and other members of the family moved to Warren County, Ohio
and not long afterward Andrew and Rachel followed. They lived a few years in
Warren County but by 1830 Andrew was in Miami Township in Hamilton County,
Ohio. Hamilton is the next county south of Warren and lies in the extreme
southwest corner of the state. Miami Township is the western most township in
the county bordering Dearborn County, Indiana. In some ways, Miami Township is
more closely connected to Dearborn County because the Great Miami River,
separates it from the rest of Hamilton County. Thus, some records of the Lind
family can be found in Dearborn County, Indiana.
Andrew Lind is listed as a Miami Township clerk from 1836 to
1838. He apparently died in 1838 because he is referred to as
"deceased" in 1839 in estate papers of his father.[1] In February
1838 Rachel and some members of her family joined the Cleves Presbyterian
Church, which was organized in 1830. Andrew's brother, Joseph and his family
had joined soon after it was organized and Jane, wife of Thomas, son of Andrew
and Rachel, had joined in 1833, but Thomas did not join until his mother, along
with Polly Lind and Peggy Lind, joined. Charles T. Lind, Nancy Lind and Rebecca
Lind joined the church in April, 1840.[2] Rachel Lind is listed in the 1840
census of Hamilton County, with seven other people in her family.[3] Rachel's
death in 1846 is recorded in the records of the Cleves Presbyterian Church.[4]
Wife of Andrew Lind, married Sept. 17, 1804 in Shenandoah
County, Virginia

Biography
Several census records have Charles's place of birth as
Ohio, but he wrote in his Bible that he was born in Virginia, December 15th
1811.[1] He grew up at Cleves, in Miami Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, and in
April 1840, joined Cleves Presbyterian Church, which his mother and several
other family members had joined a few years earlier. He soon had a falling out
with the church leaders who considered some of his views "unscriptural"
and he was expelled from the church in July 1841. [2] Charles T. Lind is also
listed as a Miami Township Trustee in 1841.[3] Charles apparently left Cleves
after his dispute with the church and married in neighboring Warren County,
Ohio, the following year. Shortly after that they moved to Louisville,
Kentucky, where he entered medical school.[4] He may have lived a short time in
Bartholomew County, Indiana, but by the mid 1850s he was living in Knox County,
Indiana, near the town of Sandborn.[5] During the Civil War Dr. Lind was the
examining physician for new troops entering the Union Army in Knox County.[6]
He was also one of the only physicians in the area and one family tradition is
that he was so tired from a long hard day, he took the wrong medicine and died
as a result. Dr. Charles T. Lind and his wife Nancy are buried in the Cemetery
of the Pleasantville Methodist Church, Pleasantville, Sullivan County,
Indiana.[7]
Died Sept. 3, 1873 in Knox County, Indiana.
Husband of Nancy Agnes McBride married Nov. 20, 1842 in Warren County, Ohio.

Myrtle Harbin Lind wrote a note in her files that -
Edward Bruce Lind was telling his youngest grandaughter, Lois Elaine Lind when she was about 6 yrs. old (about 1937) that she was part Indian. In fact he said, her Great-Great Grandmother was a quarter Indian. She looked at him a little while and then she said, "Well, Grandpa, do you think I'd be a nickel's worth?"

Over the years, I have been given papers, documents, wills, land grants and even a typewriter that was used by Grandma Myrtle Harbin Lind, who was our family genealogist and kept family records back to the 1940s and until she passed in 1974.
I thank Grandma Lind for inspiring me with her work, and time with letter writing, visiting courthouses, visiting cemeteries, typing up family history, and for passing this information as well as interest to my Mom,
who has passed the papers and interest on to me.
What started by cleaning out a drawer has turned into my passion.

Fortunately for our family,
both Grandmothers took an abundance of photos and collected family photos.
Thank you Grandma Lind and Grandma Persons for all the pictures and information that I now have!!
