Thomas LINDLEY, 1754-1809, served in the Revolution as a Whig. Thomas LINDLEY, 1754-1809, was twice married, first to Elizabeth HALL, died 1802-3, Laurens District, South Carolina, second to Elizabeth RIDGEWAY. A plaque located near the back of the current Lebanon United Methodist Churchyard points the way down the road a few hundred yards to another plaque on the left commemorating the Old Cemetery at 'The Grove.' Turn left and take that dirt road for a few more hundred yards and you'll dead-end into the colonial burial grounds. "The First Church - 'The Grove' (1785-1832) As soon as they had roofs over their head, the settlers west of the Reedy [River] acted to provide a church and a school....Peter Ragsdale...returning to Virginia to bring his family...was commissioned to find someone qualified to preach and teach.... Meanwhile, the settlers built a log cabin, their first meeting house and school. This land was given by Charles Sullivan, and took its name, The Grove, from his homestead near Reedy River, about one and one-fourth miles east of the present church building [modern day Lebanon United Methodist Church]. This 'pole chapel' was ready when Ragsdale returned...." "This ancient lady, widow of Peter Ragsdale, and her husband were founding members of the The Grove....Both husband and wife were buried in the Old Cemetery.... The Old Cemetery on Rocky Shoals near Reedy River has row upon row of the graves of these pioneers, most of them marked by native 'tomb rocks,' the inscriptions no longer legible. There were no 'boughten' tombstones in this back country until later. Twelve Revolutionary soldiers are said to have been buried here.... This Old Graveyard is all that remains to mark the site of this church, the earliest known Methodist Church in Greenville County."
