David claimed land on Jamey's Creek of the Tyger River in what was then 96 District, later Spartanburg Co., where Mary Jane was born. During the Revolution, David took the Loyalist side and was exiled to Rawdon, Hants Co., Nova Scotia, when Charleston fell. His wife Margaret moved with her children John (m. Phebe [Woodruff?]) and Mary Jane (m. Mark Lindsey) to Wayne Co., Kentucky, in 1800. Mark and Mary Jane then moved to Morgan Co., Alabama, in 1819, where they settled near the Crowdabout community on the border of Lawrence and Morgan Co. John Dinsmore and wife Phebe moved around the same time to Lawrence Co., where their son David Lewis Dinsmore was county treasurer for a number of years. In addition to John and Mary Jane, David and Margaret Dinsmore also had children Mary (m. Nathaniel Woodruff), James, and a daughter who m. James Woodruff. Mark and Mary Jane Dinsmore Lindsey are buried on what was the farm of their son Dennis at Oakville in Lawrence Co. Note that though Mary Jane's tombstone says she died on 10 March 1855, the appeal to administer her estate is dated 25 March 1853, and all other documents pertaining to her estate are also dated in 1853. It appears that the tombstone has the year of death wrong by two years. Inscription: Mary Lindsey departed this life March 10, 1855, aged 74 years.
