Text source

Andrew Lindsay was a lieutenant colonel in George Crawford's [SSNE 2086] regiment from 1631-2. He is also noted as serving in Duke Bernhard's army during the 1630s. Lindsay departed in 1639. He was awarded a pension in April 1649 but died on 10 December that year. This may be the same man as a captain Andrew Lindsay who approached Chancellor Oxenstierna in April 1631 regarding a recruitment trip on behalf of Crawford's regiment.
