James Lindley and wife Eleanor, from Carlow Meeting, Ireland, received 8 Mo. 3, 1713. Eleanor Lindley was a sister of Thomas Parke. James Lindley purchased 200 acres of land in New Garden, in 1713, and 400 in London Grove, in 1722, in the deed for which he is styled blacksmith.
James Lindley, Jr. and Simon Hadley bought land from the William Penn estate (I am not sure if this is "proven" or not). James died in 1726 at the age of forty five after living in America 13 years. During the 13 years he acquired a large estate and was one of the largest tax payers in the County. The inventory of his estate recorded in Chester County, Pennsylvania lists personal property valued at 1,115 pounds and a plantation of 1,000 acres.
