	~~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.~~
