We have records for a Hugh Linn in the Old Chester County area of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware, as well as records for a Hugh Linn in Rowan County NC, during the period from roughly 1726 to after 1786. Among these records we can recognize four sets:
- Hugh Linn who married Margaret Huston daughter of Christopher Huston on Mill Creek Hundred in Delaware
- Hugh Linn who settled on Brandywine Creek in Delaware
- Hugh LInn who settled about 1770 on Coldwater Creek inn Rowan County NC
- Hugh Linn, Jr, who is designated as the executor of Margaret Huston in Delaware, 1758.
Some genealogists consider these to be the same person. This timeline assumes that they are in fact different people, though probably related in someway.
