Doug-
I believe you have your William Lindley's mixed up. The William Lindley son
of Thomas and Ruth (Hadley) Lindley may or may not have been a minister, I
don't know, but he was not a part of the "Fanning" activity during the Rev.
War. That William Lindley (b. 1756 and d. 1782)was the grandson of Thomas
and Ruth (Hadley) Lindley and the son of James and Mary (Cox) Lindley. Yes,
he was killed by some of his fellow Tories. The exact reason may never be
known.

As for your William Lindley whose daughter, Mary married a Zachariah Dicks.
Do you have a date, place and source for this marriage? I have seen
unsupported references that say she married a Peter Dicks.
