there was a Mary Linley, daughter of James and Alice, who died at the ageof 4 in 1691.  That would put the birth about right for the Mary I knowabout but she is know to have married Robert Murray.

I've seen two different stories with respect the the Lindley Ancestry. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone that has information proving either story.
Story One
James was "caught up" in the Quaker movement commencing in the mid-seventeenth century in England. He migrated to Ireland ca. 1660 where he married Alice Walsmith. So it should be understood that these forebears are of English descent.
Story Two  This might be the more believable of the two stories as there are some sources; although sketchy at best.
In a published address by Jonathan Lindley at the dedication of the headstone for Jonathan Lindley and Deborah Lindley, Lick Creek Friends Meeting House, Orange Co., Indiana, on 12 June 1955: "Jonathan was the grandson of James and Elinor Parke Lindley, who settled in Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1713. They came from the Province of Leinster, Ireland and were either of English or Scottish stock ..."
This Jonathan Lindley was the pioneer who led the Orange Co., NC Quaker families to Orange Co., IN (Paoli) in 1811. (This is also where my Apple line was) and was brother to my line (Thomas who stayed in Kentucky).
In a Lindley family history (Indian State Library, genealogy division, G p.ff.9292 H131 no. 1) that quotes this source:
"Contrary to family tradition and printed statements that James Lindley went from county Cheshire, England to Ireland, H. G. Murray, Secretary General of the General Society of Mayflower Descendants denies this. His is a genealogical authority and says that the Murray's and the Lindley's intermarried repeatedly in Scotland where they lived before removing to Ireland. Both families, he states, lived in Perthsire, Scotland, and were among those persecuted by the Pretender's supporters. Scottish emigrants to Ireland went largely to Ulster."
