General Notes: Husband - James F. Linn
He worked on the farm at his mother's until 1818. Later he attended school at Milton, Pennsylvania, and in 1823 began reading law under the direction of James Merrill. He was admitted to the Bar in 1826, and began the practice of his profession, at Lewisburg, Union County, which place he made his residence through-out life. Beside the profession of law, he was a practical surveyor and very fond of it, which went well with his legal profession in matters of settlements of estates and in the land law trials. He made copies of all surveys, and preserved a copy of every one he made; the copies were in a book, and the others were all filed away separately into townships and counties, and all were indexed in a pass-book, so that a stranger could turn to them and understand. There are over six hundred, and they are a complete history of the early transfers, and many titles would be inexplicable without them. He also preserved a memorandum of every business transaction in which he was engaged. The little slips of paper, on which the calculations and memorandums of the transactions happened to be made, were all gathered up and put away with the case. He kept a common pleas docket, copied precisely from the prothonotary's docket, in which there was no entry except what was to be found there, a collection docket, a brief book, issue lists; in fine, from 1826 to the day he did his last, there is in his office a history of his business. He was an accurate and careful lawyer. He was learned in his profession, and withal, in the early part of his life, carried with it his reading of poetry and history; in later life he was much devoted to theology. He was a Democrat, along with the old Democrats of Jefferson, Jackson and Martin VanBuren, became an Abolitionist, voted for Birney, and lived to see the day when his favorite themes-Temperance and Abolition of Slavery-were triumphant. He was a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian, and with all his dignity and apparent austerity very friendly to all the amusements of life.
