      Anna Christy, the daughter of Julius Christy and Agatha Barnett, was born in Culpeper County, Virginia. Anna was married twice during her life. She appears to have married her first husband, John Valentine Lindsay (also written Lindsey), in about 1777 in that portion of Botetourt County, Virginia that was later formed into Greenbriar County, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1778. John, who was born in about 1757 in Frederick County, Virginia, was the son of David and Catherine Lindsay.

      In January 1780, John and Anna were granted 800 acres of land by the Greenbriar County Court "by right of settlement prior to 1 January 1778," the date Greenbriar County began functioning. These lands were situated on the north side of the Greenbriar River. In 1785, John and Anna obtained an additional 236 acres of land by Warrant. By 1790, however, John and Anna had sold these lands and moved further west into Scott County, Kentucky. John apparently died in Scott County during the latter part of 1805. His will, which was written on 29 September 1805, was admitted for probate before the Scott County Court during the January 1806 term.

      About 10 years after John's death, Anna married for a second time to a man named Spencer Stone. This marriage most likely took place in Scott County, Kentucky. Spencer was the father of Elias Barbee Stone who married Catherine Houston Lindsay, one of John and Anna Lindsay's daughters.
      Although Anna and Spencer probably resided for a short time in Scott County, they eventually moved to Lincoln County, Kentucky, where Spencer owned a small farm on the banks of the Dix River. This farm was located in that portion of Lincoln County, Kentucky that was later formed into Boyle County in 1842. It was there that Spencer Stone died in 1838.

      Shortly after Spencer passed away, Anna moved to Fayette County, Indiana to be near some of her children from her first marriage. Although she later wrote her will on 8 October 1844 in Fayette County, it was never recorded for probate. It is assumed, however, that she died in Fayette County during the latter part of 1844.
