Based on (1) the recollections of Hugh Linn II (1785-1870), who was just three when the family emigrated to America, and (2) family records which the author solicited from numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, etc., this is a history and genealogy of the family of Hugh Linn I (1753-1815) and Sarah Widney (1757-1810), who settled in Concord, Franklin County, PA. It includes not only a genealogy down through about 1905 but also stories passed down in the family about their early life in America. It also includes some background of the Widney family, where it errs in one important point. The author assumed that Sarah's ancestor "Col. Widney", having fought for William of Orange of Holland at the 1690 Battle of the Boyne in Ireland, was himself Dutch. What the author apparently did not know is that there were also two regiments of Ulster Scots supporting the Dutch army at the Boyne. Several historical books and records indicate, in fact, that the Widneys were from Aberdeenshire, Scotland.
