Lindley, William (Sr.)
Another early settler locating in the vicinity of Salem was William Lindley, Sr.. a relative of Samuel, who built the first two-story double log house in the county, about 1811, on the brow of the hill on the west side of South Main street, about a furlong from the creek. It was at his house that the commissioners met to locate the county seat. He built the first water- mill near Salem, three years before the town was laid off, it being located in the bend of the creek about a quarter of a mile below the forks of Brock creek and the Lick branch of Blue River.
