Overview
See Notebook:Houston's of Old Chester County, PA
In 1758 a Margaret Linn left a will in Bethel, Old Chester Co, PA. [1]Since she left a will we can plausibly assume that Linn was her married name, and that her husband predeceased her.
Chester County Will Abstracts and Administrations 1713-1825, extract for 1758-1759| An abstract of that will shows Hugh Linn, Jr. as the administer. It is conceivable that this is the will for person:Margaret Houston (11), daughter of Christopher Huston, and wife of person:Hugh Linn (1) and that Hugh Linn (the father) predeceased Margaret, leaving a son Hugh Linn Jr. There are subsequent records for "Hugh Linn" in the area, but these may be "Hugh Linn Jr." If this is true, and Margaret Linn who dies around 1758 must be the daughter of person:Christopher Huston (1). A consequence of this interpretation is that Hugh Linn the father, and soninlaw of Christopher Huston, can not be the Hugh Linn who settled on Cold Water Creek, NC in 1770, as is often stated.
