Hello, 

     Here's a little bit about me... Matthew Lindsay the Floridian!


And THANKS for visiting and taking the time toward getting to know me.

I'm a 46 year old, 7th generation, Floridian, from my father's maternal side. There's not many of us original "Florida Cracker's" left. I was born in Miami but raised mostly in and around the Bradenton - Sarasota area just South of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay region on the beautiful Gulf Coast. I had been living near Terra Ceia Bay for almost 19 years.

     I was born in MIAMI, FLORIDA, USA, Nov. 5, 1960, to the parents of Jessie James LINDSAY, Jr. and  Wilma R. WEISS.

  1. Jessie James LINDSAY was born Oct. 07, 1937. He is the oldest of 3 boys who were all born and raised in ARCADIA, FL. in DESOTO County.
  2. Charles Harry LINDSAY who I always called Uncle Harry. Harry was born July 12, 1939.
  3. Louis Lavon LINDSAY who was born April 10, 1943. When he was younger he was called Bump but as he got older he didn't care for that name anymore, so he was just Lou to us all. Louis Passed away, December 12, 2002 in Jacksonville, Florida.

 

    Jessie married Thelma Louise MURPHY in MYAKKA CITY, FL. in MANATEE County, Oct. 15, 1955. Thelma is the daughter of Elton MURPHY, Sr. and Ida WILSON.

Jessie and Thelma had one girl in that marriage. She was born:

  1. Jessica Leah LINDSAY on May 02, 1957 in HUTCHINSON, KANSAS.

They came back to FLORIDA after Jessie left the Navy. He was working in aviation as an air traffic controller. Jessie and Thelma divorced June 19, 1959 in WAUCHULA, FL. in HARDEE County.

Jessie then moved to MIAMI, FL. where he met my mother, Wilma R. WEISS. Wilma was born July 12, 1942 in PHILADELPHIA, PA but left there when she was almost 2 years old.
Her parents moved to MIAMI, FL. in DADE Co. where she was actually raised.
She met Jessie on Feb. 3, 1960 and they were married on Feb. 15, 1960 in DADE Co., FL. They had 5 children, 3 boys and 2 girls:

    *A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT NAOMI

    My sister Naomi would like some help from anyone who is able.
    She is searching for a daughter she gave up for adoption at the time of birth.
    The daughter is now 21 years old as of February 15, 2000.
    The only information she has is:

    • Date of birth: February 15, 1979.
    • Time of birth: 5:21pm.
    • Place of birth: Broward Gen. Hosp. (Ft. Lauderdale, FL.).
    • Weight: 7lbs. 12oz.
    • Adoption Attorney: Theodore M. Trushin (now deceased).
    • His office at the time was located in North Miami, FL.
    • The adoptive parents are believed to be Jewish and the father is believed to be a teacher.
    • Her name at the time of the adoption was listed as Naomi Ruth Lindsay aka Naomi Ruth Schmidt
      (Our step-fathers surname, he never legally adopted us)

    Naomi is registered with the National Registry but at this time no match has been found. This is all of the information that we have.
    If anyone has access to locating people it would be greatly appreciated if you could help her in this matter.
    Not a day goes by that she doesn't think about her and the sacrifice she made.
