The
lives of Hugh and Sarah (Widney) Linn and
some of their descendants were
memorialized by their
great-grandson Dr. George Wilds Linn in
his 1906 book
"A History of a Fragment of the
Clan Linn". Dr. Linn relied in part on
information related to him by his grandfather, Hugh Linn II, who was just
three years old when the family left Ireland, and by others of that
generation. Since
the book's publication, it has
proven invaluable in providing family connections for many
descendants and has given them a vivid picture of their ancestors'
lives as immigrants in a then remote portion of Pennsylvania.
But how helpful it would be to read the doctor's original notes!
How enlightening to have heard what the doctor heard!
Unfortunately, we cannot tell from the book how much his forebears actually
knew and shared about their origins in Ireland or how much of those
origins Dr. Linn
was left to interpret or
assume from his own understanding of the history of Ulster and
Scotland.
It is clear that one key word in the very title of the book has only
an aesthetic, romantic appeal and does not convey historic fact. That word is "clan", and the truth is that the name Linn is
not included, by any spelling, in any of the six best known and most
credible lists or histories of Scottish clans. The authors of
those works include authorities such as Sir
Iain Moncreiffe (1919-1985), who was a Baronet and Chief of Clan
Moncreiffe, and
Sir Thomas Innes of Learney (1893-1971), who was Scotland's Lord
Lyon King of Arms from 1945 to 1969. Lord Lyon is the very
office that recognizes Scottish clans and titles.
Just over a century after Dr. Linn
published his book, the online
publication of images of original 18th-century Irish deeds
helped bring to light the reality behind the question of Hugh's origins.
The following historical record incorporates certain important
points from Dr. Linn's book and examines them in the light of those
deeds and other historical sources. Together, these documents demonstrate that some of Dr. Linn's understanding of the family's
origins was less than accurate.

Historical Account
Concerning their migration from Scotland to Ireland, Dr.
Linn wrote that the Linns left Scotland after the 1690
battle that won Ireland for William, Prince of Orange and
"took up their abode in the northeastern or Scottish side of
Ulster, Ireland's northern province, in County Down, near
Newry".1
His descriptive account of the family's subsequent departure from
Ireland for America leaves little room for doubt that they
did indeed live somewhere in the vicinity of Newry for some
unknown period of time before their emigration.
About their leaving, he wrote that Hugh Linn's family could
see "[t]he church spires of Newry, Emyvale and Aughnacloy,
one by one, disappear in the distance" as they went to board
a ship in Londonderry.2
There
are three things, to note in that
regard :
(1) The Newry church sits at so high an elevation that
its spires are visible for miles on all sides.
(2)
Newry Parish, in which the town is situated, lies partly in County
Down but also partly in County Armagh on the west.
(3)
A lifelong resident of Belfast asked this author why a
family would travel from Newry to the port at
Londonderry when the port at Belfast is less than half the
88-mile distance to Londonderry - a good question indeed.
In any case, living in or near Newry at the time the family left Ireland
is not evidence that Hugh Linn was born in
County Down, and Dr. Linn in fact did not say that he was,
although he believed that Hugh's Scottish forebears
had settled first somewhere in the "northeastern or Scottish
side of Ulster, Ireland". Dr. Linn's elders apparently either knew nothing
or said nothing about Hugh's birth place or his parents;
otherwise, Dr. Linn would have said so outright.
Instead, he was left to surmise; and the reader
unfortunately is left to
assume that Hugh was born in or near Newry.
An important detail, perhaps unknown to Dr. Linn, is the
fact that the first Scottish Lynn of record arrived in
Ulster sometime before 1605 and settled not in the so-called
Scottish side of Ulster but in the city of Londonderry and,
furthermore, owned properties not only in Londonderry but
also in Counties Donegal and Tyrone.3
As to Hugh's in-laws, the Widneys, Dr. Linn believed (and likely was told
by his paternal grandmother*)
that they owned "a considerable estate in County
Tyrone".4
However, deeds dated 1715 and later, along with other
historic records, place
the Linns in County Tyrone and the
Widneys immediately south, in neighboring County Monaghan.
Unfortunately, no Irish deeds earlier than 1708 have
survived, except those that might be in private hands.
As shown in existing deeds, the Widney family lived in
Killymurry, County Monaghan at least as early as 1724 and
were owners thereof from then until 1784; in the latter year,
Hugh's brother-in-law James Widney sold Killymurry and left for
America.5,6
That was also seven years after Hugh Linn's marriage to
Sarah Widney. Killymurry lies but one mile south of Monaghan's border with
County Tyrone, and on the Tyrone side of the county line is
Aghaloo Parish, which in 1766 was home to Protestant
householders John Lynn, George Lynn, and Hugh Lynn.7
Deeds for the townland of Dunmacmay in Aghaloo
Parish, and other deeds in which one Linn or another was
described as resident in Dunmacmay - together with Aghaloo Parish Vestry Minutes -
reveal
the following Linns of Dunmacmay, with years of birth and
death estimated from the dates of the deeds, etc. (see Source descriptions) :
(1) John Linn - b. bef. 1675, in Aghaloo Parish vestry
meetings 1699 and 1705,
d. aft. 17058
(2) George Linn,
Gentleman -
b. bef. 1695, of Dunmacmay 1715, d. aft. 17159
(3) John Linn, Gentleman - b. ca. 1705, of Dunmacmay
1726-52, d.
1753-9010
(4) George Linn,
Gentleman - b. ca. 1732, of Dunmacmay
1752
and 1791, late of County Tyrone 1793, d. 1792-310,11,12
It bears noting that the spelling of the family name was
very inconsistent, and some Dunmacmay deeds show Linn, some
show Lynn, and one shows both spellings. The
Hugh Lynn who, along with (3) John and (4) George, was a householder in Aghaloo Parish in 1766 very
probably was a younger brother of (3) and the father of our Hugh Linn,
subject of this account.
As recorded in the 1752 deed,
(4) was the only son of (3). Additionally, the 1793 deed
states specifically that the wife and two daughters of (4)
were each entitled to one-third of his fortune, indicating
that he left no sons.
Evidence
of a link between the Dunmacmay Linns and the Widneys is
seen in their respective associations with Thomas
Donaldson of Counties Tyrone and Monaghan :
(1) A 1715 deed alluded to above, witnessed by George Linn of
Dunmacmay, County Tyrone, involved a property described
therein as having been formerly held by Thomas
Donaldson.9
(2) A 1716 deed shows Thomas Donaldson and his brother
John Donaldson purchasing property in County Monaghan.13
(3) A 1724 deed of marriage settlement for James Widney
the younger of Killymurry, County Monaghan names Thomas
Donaldson as the uncle of James's bride.5
Given the above historical record, it seems evident that
Hugh and Sarah, and perhaps one or two of their eldest
children, settled somewhere in the vicinity of Newry
sometime after the couple's 1777 marriage.
Intriguingly, there is a British Army discharge for one
William Lynn stating that he was born ca. 1781 in Donagh
Parish, County Monaghan, which is adjacent to the parish in
which Killymurry lies. That record is of great
interest because Hugh and Sarah's son William,
born 1780, was the son they left behind when they went to America. The child clearly did
outgrow his frailty, as evidenced by the fact that he grew
up, married, and had children of his own - all as reported by
Dr. Linn.14
Dr. Linn did write that his
grandfather, Hugh Linn II, fourth eldest child of Hugh and
Sarah, was born in County Down; but he listed no place of
birth for any of the other children. Furthermore, it is
unknown whether Dr. Linn's grandfather specifically claimed
County Down as his place of birth or said simply Newry; or,
if the latter, whether he meant Newry town or Newry Parish.
Again, both Newry town and Newry Parish lie partly in County
Armagh.
Ultimately, if Hugh and his family did live on the
County Down side of Newry town, the question of why they
travelled to Londonderry instead of Belfast to board a ship
has even greater bearing. It is just 39 miles from
Newry to Belfast but 88 miles from Newry to Londonderry.
The only logical answer is that the choice of route was
made in order to bid farewell to loved ones who lived along
the way. It might even be the case that the home of
"aunt, Rebecca Lee", with whom Hugh and Sarah left
William was somewhere on that route and was a
stopping point for placing William in her care.
Since, as is now evident, Hugh Linn's forebears were living
in County Tyrone at least as early as 1699, what are we to
make of Dr. Linn's view that those ancestors had settled in County Down
immediately upon their arrival from Scotland?
While the northeast of Ulster is directly across the Irish
Sea from Scotland,
Rev. George Hill's scholarly work
on the 17th-century plantation of Ulster15
includes a 1619 survey that names a great
many Scotsmen having obtained grants of land in the far
northwest of Ulster; i.e., Counties Donegal,
Londonderry, and Tyrone. In the survey, one William Lynn
was listed as a Scotsman who held lands in County Donegal in
1619.
The same 1619 William Lynn is shown in other historical records to have owned
additional properties in the City of Londonderry and County
Tyrone; he was described by notable County Tyrone historian Dr. William J.
Roulston as "a
prominent figure in north west Ulster in the early 1600s".16
Finally, among other historical records naming William is one that describes him - along with John Lynn and David
Lynn - as
Scottish settlers in the Earl of Abercorn's manor of
Dunnalong, County Tyrone
by the year 1616.17
It was at least 160 years later that Hugh Linn and
his family were living "near Newry".
While Dr. Linn labored unfortunately under a lack of
historical records concerning the family's migration from
Scotland to Ireland amd their holdings in Ulster, his account of their American history -
particularly the first three generations thereof - is quite detailed and reliable.
Growing up in a wilderness that grew with them, and developed
into a thriving community, the children of Hugh and Sarah
(Widney) Linn surely had many experiences that were quite
memorable and fondly recounted. The family had settled in Franklin County, Pennsylvania
in 1788 and helped to found
the village of Concord. The father, being a man of Christian faith
arriving in a region which as yet had no established
churches, opened his home to neighbors far and near for
Bible reading and prayer. His cabin came to be called
"Immanuel", meaning "God with us".18 In such a wilderness, Hugh and Sarah (Widney) Linn raised a family of eight
children, doubtless cherishing in their hearts their frail son
William, left across the ocean.
Sarah (Widney) Linn died in 1810 and Hugh Linn in 1815.
It was thirty years later that a son of William came to
America. He settled in Philadelphia by 1850, and
Philadelphia was also home to Dr. George Wilds Linn at least
as early as 1870 (he not being identified in the 1850 or
1860 census).
