Within Ancestry, the Craftperson File has two entries for John Lind; 1) John, joiner / carpenter, being the son of Michael Lind b about 1761 and 2) John Jr. , joiner, found in tax records in 1809 and from 1819 to 1830. (The editor checked period Lancaster city taxes and verified that John Jr. was not identified as a joiner until 1820. The Craftsperson's 1809 date attributed to John Jr. is deemed to be in error.)
