Person:William Lynn (9)

Notes

Margaret Lynn, wife of John Lewis, was almost certainly of the Lynn family of Donegal and Londonderry counties, Province of Ulster, Ireland. She was the daughter of William Lynn, and his wife, Margaret Patton, who brought him to the estate, "Ruskie," Parish of Drumachose, County Derry, inherited from her father, John Patton. Another child of William and Margaret Patton Lynn was a physician, Dr. William Lynn, who immigrated to the Virginia Colony and settled in Fredericksburg. He was a member of the earliest land company that made discoveries and petitioner, in 1727, the Council of Virginia for a land grant west of the Blue Ridge."
