Given the 1611 date of his first and only marriage, and the 1601 and 1605/6 marriage dates of his sisters from their father's second marriage, I suspect he may have also been born of the second marriage.

Thomas Lindsay also had sons Thomas (who apparently died in the 1580s) and Robert (who married Janet Acheson and settled in Loughry, County Tyrone), as well as daughters Agnes and Elizabeth.

> Sir Bernard's son Lt. Col. Bernard (b. 1603) married Rachel Lindsay, the daughter of Sir Jerome Lindsay of Annatland and Agnes Lindsay. Sir Jerome was the son of David Lindsay, Bishop of Ross, and grandson of Alexander Lindsay of the Edzell/Crawford family. Agnes Lindsay was the daughter of Sir David Lindsay of the Mount, descended from the Byres family. Sir Jerome and Sir David Lindsay were both Lyon Kings. I have seen suggestions that Thomas Lindsay was the younger brother of David, Bishop of Ross, or, alternatively, descended from the Lindsays of the Mount -- neither of which have any concrete evidence to back them up.

Note: I think that you very well may find links to the Lindsays discussed in the last paragraph of this message from Steve Wilson with data from the list and details of the British settlers of the Ulster Plantation (what is now Northern Ireland). There is mention there of Sir Bernard Lindsay, Jerome Lindsay (Esq.) and Robert Lindsay (as well it would seem Robert's son, also Robert Lindsay). There are also references to the Lindsay Estate, just east of Cookstown in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
You can type in Lindsay under the Heading: People, to retrieve details on 6 Lindsays from the list of over 14,000 settlers.
