General Notes: Husband - John Linn

---

He came over to America from Scotland in the early part of the eighteenth century, and was of solid Presbyterian stock.

The ancestor of the Linn family of Perry County, Pennsylvania, his descendants include the Linns of Cbambersburg, Williamsport and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Springfield, Ohio. He was one of the pioneers of the Marsh Creek settlement in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania, where he settled in April, 1740. He was one of the squatters on the famous Manor of Masque. He was a member of the Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian Church.
It is probable that Robert Linn, who died in 1772, and was buried in the Lower Marsh Creek Presbyterian graveyard, was his son.
