General Notes: Husband - James Linn

---

He came from Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and settled in what is now North Strabane township, Washington County, on a tract (two hundred and eighty acres) called "Cranberry."

He was a native of Scotland, whence, when a young man, he came to America with his parents, who made a settlement in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He married and in 1792 came with his family to North Strabane township, Washington County, where he purchased 300 acres of wild land (the same at his death being divided between his sons), on which he erected a log cabin wherein were born nearly all his children-five sons and two daughters.
He died at the age of eighty-four years. He was a member of the Seceder Church (of which Dr. Ramsey was the minister), and in politics he was an Old-school Democrat.
