	Since writing to Barbara a few years ago, I've discovered additional documents which prove that the Lynns of that Ilk not only were lairds but also owned the barony of Lynn for three centuries before selling it to the Boyds. A report concerning both the Lynns' name and their title is at http://~~scotlandinmay~~.house-of-lynn.com/~~LynnOfThatIlk~~.html. The documentation proving their ownership of the barony of Lynn is as follows, prefaced by an explanation of the very title "of that Ilk" and other relevant Scottish terms.		Since writing to Barbara a few years ago, I've discovered additional documents which prove that the Lynns of that Ilk not only were lairds but also owned the barony of Lynn for three centuries before selling it to the Boyds. Furthermore, the Lynns were not serfs, vassals, or a sept of the Boyds. As illustrated by the following chronology, they were the Lords of Lynn for three centuries before selling the barony of Lynn to the Boyds; even then, the Lynns retained use of the manor place or "mains" of the barony. Also, the Boyds had no tartan until 1956 - see the Boyd tartan details at http://www.tartanregister.gov.uk/tartanDetails.aspx?ref=326. By this time, the Lynns were long gone from Dalry.

	The title "of that Ilk" proves that: (1) their family’s name was indeed Lynn; and (2) they acquired their property directly from the King. As defined by a certain Scottish government website, "Ilk" means "Same, used after surname to indicate person is of the estate of the same name as the family". Second, as explained by Sir Thomas Innes of Learney, the right to bear the title "of that Ilk" was attained only by royal charter directly from the king.

Gads , the recent letters re: the Lairds of Loch Lynn are following flights
of fancy and I have been as guilty of this as anyone. I too am of this line
and would dearly love to think I was descended from Lairds (Lords) of
Scotland but there is no substance whatsoever to these claims.

Our branch of the family came from the Lowland County of Ayreshire Scotland
and sadly, there is no Loch Lynn/or Linnhe by any spelling on the map of
this county. Perhaps there was once such a loch (lake), but there were no
Lynn Lairds because the Ayreshire land upon which we Lynns toiled was owned
by the Boyds. We Lynns were Boyd serfs and we wore the Boyd tartan to
demonstrate our loyalty. Accordingly we dutifully we followed the Boyds
(our clan) as British loyalists and therefore don't even have the
distinction of being religious nationalists like those gritty highlanders.

While there is indeed a Loch Lynn/Linnhe in the highlands in the County of
Inverness, there is no history of any "Lynn Lairds" of this place because
the lake wasn't even given its present name until the 18th Century.

Don't expect to find tributes to the Lynns in Scottish histories. We left
Scotland for Plantation Ulster in the 17th century and from thence to the
new world in the early 18th so we were long gone before the devastating
defeat of the highlanders at the Battle of Culladen Moor in 1746. Besides
we Lynns were lowlanders, not highlanders and we would have been on the side
of the British. The winning British were the hated oppressors of the famous
northen clans.

So there is not much in our Scottish Lynn history about which to romanticize
and I am truly sorry to be the one to prick illusion balloons. But you and
I are not the first Lynns get carried away. The notions of nobility seem to
have originated with the reference to "my father, the Laird of Loch Lynn,"
in the diary of Margaret Lynn Lewis (w/o John Lewis, founder of Augusta Co
VA) Sadly, the experts on such things believe this diary to be a total
fraud. Lynn historians have nevertheless perpetuated and embellished the
fancy over the years. Too bad, all this.

My most recent source of bad news is THE FAMILY OF JOHN LEWIS, PIONEER;
Irvin Frazier, Mark W. Cowell Jr. and Lewis F. Fisher; Fisher Publications
Inc.; San Antonio, Texas, 1985.

I dearly hope that some one will come up with definitive proof of lofty
beginnings for us Lynns. Until then, however, we must each qualify our
claims lest others regard our web-postings as holy writ and pass on false
embellishments to succeeding generations.

Barb, I appreciate your caution. Words spoken or written in haste are often
also in error. However, there actually were Lairds of Lynn who owned the
barony of Lynn surrounding the village of Dalry, Ayrshire and, for a period of
at least 216 years, a piece of property just south of Castle Dundonald called
Highlees. I've spent countless hours researching (among other records) some
70 volumes of Scottish Record Society Publications for Lynns and Linns.
Among them is a volume of the Hunter Family Papers, some of which reveal that
the Lords of Lynn in Ayrshire chartered Highlees to the Hunters of Hunterstoun
"for counsel rendered and to be rendered."

Yes, the Lynns of Ayrshire were associated with Clan Boyd, but they came
into property of their own, reputedly acquired from the De Morvilles. The
earliest chief of this family was "Andrew Lyn, lord (laird) of that Ilk," who
executed the original charter to the Hunters "the last day of February (fourteen
hundred) and fifty-two." The charter is torn where the words "fourteen
hundred" would appear, but the charter was followed by an undamaged sasine dated
March 5, 1453. In all, there are nearly 20 documents dated between 1452 and
1668 relating to the Lynns of that Ilk and their ownership of Highlees.

Also, one Robert Boyd fought for Robert the Bruce and was subsequently
knighted by him. It is a mistake to place all lowlanders on the side of the
British. While Robert Boyd did sign the 1296 Ragman Roll swearing loyalty to
"Longshanks," England's Edward I, so did William Wallace's uncle Sir Reginald
Crawford and Robert the Bruce himself. Political "necessities" have always been
the bane of society, and loyalties sworn under duress were and are often
later rescinded.

I am preparing to publish a book on the Lynns and Linns of Scotland which
will highlight the Lords of Lynn of Ayrshire, as well as other families and
individuals in Scotland named Lynn and Linn. It will also include an
interesting, old Ayrshire folktale about one of the Lords of Lynn, which tale was first
put in print in 1889. I hope to have my book available by spring or early
summer.
