Belle Meade Society Meeting: J. Van Lindley: His Ancestors, Life and Legacy with biographer Joseph Carlin

J. Van Lindley was instrumental in forming an insurance company that became Jefferson Pilot. He had extensive land holdings along Spring Garden Street and developed the Pomona-Terra company there. In addition, he had a 60,000 tree orchard near Pine Hurst and sold land to Isabella Rockefeller which later became Fort Bragg. J. Van Lindley’s ancestors owned land where an important Revolutionary War battle occurred. Biographer Joseph Carlin will have much to share with Belle Meade members this evening (watch your mail for invitations).
