| Notes |
Married:
- Melissa Ann Lindsay, second wife of Cornelius Berninger, is shown in the 1880 census with Cornelius, along with (Edward) Elwood and Louise from his first marriage...and with Martha Lindsay as his stepdaughter. Therefore it is inferred here that Melissa was previously married to a Mr. Lindsay, and her maiden name is yet unknown. Additionally, living next door to Cornelius and Melissa, is Lucy Lindsay, age 67, with a grandson, David Lindsay. It is likely that David, like Martha, is a child of Melissa, and is shown here as such. David is 23 and old enough to care for his grandmother, Lucy next door, so she doesn't have to live alone. In 1890, Lucy Lindsay is shown in a pension record as the widow of James Lindsay, a Civil War veteran. Since Lucy appeared in 1880 without a spouse, it may be that James died during the war. James Lindsey and Lucy Ann are shown in the 1860 census with three children: Thomas W. age 7, Juliam age 11, and Joseph age 13. Thus it is likely that either Thomas or Joseph was Melissa's first husband (Mr. Lindsay). (No record found showing the former marriage of Melissa, and who Mr. Lindsay was.)
