    Jacob F Linn
    BIRTH 25 Dec 1789
    Maryland, USA
    DEATH 29 Jan 1871 (aged 81)
    Adams County, Pennsylvania, USA

    Jacob was a farmer in Adams County, Pennsylvania. He was living in Freedom Township when he died.

    Jacob was born to Michael Funderlind (also known as Michael F. Lind and Michael F. Linn) and his wife, Barbara Eckes.

    Jacob was known in county records as Jacob Funderlinn. That was shortened for use on county land maps to Jacob 'F. Linn.' The 'F' is not a middle name - just the first part of the contraction of his last name. Why Jacob used 'Funderlinn' and not 'Funderlind' is unknown.

    Jacob's children may have all used 'F. Linn' as their last name. The last name for subsequent generations may have become Linn, Lynn, or Lind.
