Family Tradition states that our last name LINN was O'Linn before our family came to America. The earliest ancestor of that line that I can verify is James Linn md to Ester Donahey, Their son John Linn b1801 md Anna McGaughey daughter of Alexander McGaughey and Rebbecca Torrence. Living in the Marsh creek settlement, PA what is now considered Gettysburg, Penn.
