Your Ancestors?
Jefferson Pinkney Linder is one of the enterprising and industrious
agriculturists of this region, and is a son of Abraham W. and Itea (Templeman)
Linder, the former of whom was born in Spartanburg District, S. C. He was of
English (that is incorrect it should be, German) descent, his grandfather having
emigrated from England (incorrect) to America 'before the outbreak of the
Revolutionary War, and took an active part in that struggle on the side of the
Colonists. He settled in North Carolina, and there reared his family, his son
John, the grandfather of our subject, being born there (incorrect, born in Va.).
He was married in that State and at an early day removed to South Carolina where
his son was educated and grew to manhood. He was also married there and eight of
his children were born there prior to the year 1844. After which they moved to
Alabama and settled in Benton County, where four more children were given them.
Their names are as follows:
John A. (born July 18, 1823),
CaIvin D. (born July 1, 1825),
Elizabeth Ann (born July 10, 1827),
Delilah E. (born September 9, 1829),
James Templeman (born April 17, 1832),
Lewis M. (born October 24, 1834),
Austin A. (born March 17, 1837) J
efferson Pinkney (born August 10, 1839),
Mary A. (born October 6, 1841),
Arcena S. (born March 21, 1844),
Virgil Taylor (born June 3 1848) and
Martha C. (born on March 8, 1851).
The father and mother of these children were born on
September 23, 1803, and February 27 , 1807, respectively, and in 1857 they
came to Arkansas. Abraham Linder and his sons were opposed to secession,
but Lewis M. and Austin A. espoused the Confederate cause after the ordinance
of secession had been passed, and served as members in a company of Arkansas
Volunteer Infantry. Lewis M. died of measles while at home on a sick furlough,
and Austin was mortally wounded at the battle of Helena, Ark, on July 4, 1863,
and was taken from the field where he fell by the Federals to a hospital at
Memphis and there he died. Jefferson Pinkney Linder (our subject) was reared to
farm life and received his education principally in the subscription schools of
Atlanta, whither his father had moved from South Carolina. He embraced religion
at the age of twenty-one years, and is now a member of the Presbyterian Church.
On Dec. 4, 1861, he was married to Miss Lucinda Jane Shelton, a daughter of John
F. and Martha Payne (Milam) Shelton, of Shelby County, Tenn., her birth occuring
in that county on May 8, 1846. The names of their children are here given:
Thomas Jefferson (born March 28, 1863),
Laura Eudora (born August 24, 1865),
Margaret Itea (born December 26, 1867),
John Robert (born January 6, 1870),
Charles Henry (was born on February 1, 1873, and died August 1, 1875),
McWilliam (was born on .August 4, 1875,)
Oscar B. (was born on September 5, 1877),
Albert Lee (born February 8, 1880),
Mertie Velmar (born March 23, 1882, and died October 9, 1884),
Vida May (born June 16, 1884, and died August 3, 1886).
Burrilah (born on February 14, 1887).
Thomas J. was married to Miss Fannie Dennis, of Henderson County, Tex, on
December 23, 1886, and is now farming in Monroe County, Ark. Laura E. became the
wife of S. N. Trotter, and lives in Monroe County, Ark. Margaret Itea bore one
child by her husband J. W. Acree, but is now separated from him by mutual consent.
Mr Linder has been noted for his industry and thrift, and on commencing life these
constituted his capital stock and well he has made use of them, being now the owner
of 360 acres of land, his first purchase being only 80 acres. He has 100 acres under
cultivationand makes a specialty of stock raising,his mules being of a fine grade,
and he also has some very fine horses of the Tone Hal breed. Mr Linder was troubled
for some time with a scrofulous white swelling on one of his legs which finally
resulted in the loss of that member, the operation being performed in 1879. He is
a man possessing a fund of useful information and is a Democrat in his political
views. Himself and wife and four children are members of the Baptist Church.
