General Notes: Husband - Robert Linn


He and his wife were both natives of Ireland and passed their youth there. There they were married and, in the year 1792, sailed for the United States and, upon arriving, settled in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They made their home in that city only temporarily, however, and before a great time had elapsed removed to Sewickley Heights, before that place had begun its major growth, and there Mr. Linn bought nearly all the land upon which Sewickley Heights came to stand. He was a farmer, cultivating and putting to agricultural uses land which later possessed town value. He was a Democrat in politics and died at the age of eighty-two years, about 1855.
