	*John Blair, lawyer, born in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, 15 October, 1831, was graduated at Marshall college, Pennsylvania, in 1848, and admitted to the bar of Union county, Pennsylvania, in 1851. He became 1st lieutenant in the 51st Pennsylvania regiment in 1862, served in the civil war, and was deputy secretary of the state in 1873-'8, and secretary in 1878-'9. His published works are "Annals of Buffalo Valley" (1877); "Pennsylvania Archives," 2d series, with William H. Egle, M. D. (12 vols., 1874-'80); and "[http://openlibrary.org/books/OL6905092M/History_of_Centre_and_Clinton_Counties_Pennsylvania History of Center and Clinton Counties]" (1883).<ref>http://www.famousamericans.net/williamlinn/</ref>


	*"John Blair Linn was born at Lewisburg, Penn., October 15, 1831, and inherited
	~~his inclination to genealogy and local history from his father, James F. Linn,~~
	~~whose memorandums and newspaper files were the sources from which much of~~
	~~whatever is valuable in the "Annals of Buffalo Valley" was derived. He was~~
	~~prepared for college at the Lewisburg Academy, under John Robinson, Esq., late~~
	~~of the Philadelphia Bar; entered Marshall College at Mercersburg, Penn., in May,~~
	~~1846 (sophomore class), half advanced, where he graduated at the age of~~
	~~seventeen in the same class with the Hon. Charles A. Mayer, some years ago~~
	~~president judge of Clinton and Centre counties. He read law in his father's~~
	~~office, and was admitted to the Bar September 16, 1851. The years 1852 and 1853~~
	~~he spent in Sullivan county, which had just been opened out, where he was~~
	~~elected district attorney. He returned to Union county in 1854, where he~~
	~~practiced his profession until his removal to Bellefonte, in April 1871. On~~
	~~April 10, 1873, he was appointed deputy secretary of the Commonwealth by the~~
	~~Hon. M.S. Quay, and May 15, 1878, upon the resignation of Mr. Quay, he was~~
	~~commissioned Secretary of the Commonwealth, in which incumbency he remained~~
	~~until after Gov. Hoyt was inaugurated, and then returned to Bellefonte. Mr.~~
	~~Linn and Dr. Egle were made editors of the Second Series of Pennsylvania~~
	~~Archives, the publication of which was recommended by Gov. Hartranft in his~~
	~~annual message, January 7, 1874, and they were issued in twelve volumes, under~~
	~~Mr. Quay's supervision. In 1879 Mr. Linn published the "Annals of Buffalo~~
	~~Valley," a local work embracing the history of Union county principally. It is~~
	~~a book of 620 pages, replete with interest, though largely local, and involved~~
	~~an immense amount of painstaking labor. While he was Secretary of the~~
	~~Commonwealth, there was published under his direction "Duke of York's laws,~~
	~~1676-82; and Laws of the Province, 1682-1700." In 1882 he edited a "History of~~
	~~Centre and Clinton counties" in a handsome volume of nearly 700 pages, which has~~
	~~preserved all that is of value of "Men and things in these counties" in a~~
	~~readable and entertaining shape. Mr. Linn has not only inherited from his~~
	~~father his inclination to genealogy and local history, but also that same~~
	~~methodical and systematic manner of looking after his business affairs, and that~~
	~~same sense of right, justice and honor and Christian manhood-characteristic of~~
	~~his father-is posses by him. He is an exemplary citizen, known and beloved by~~
	~~all. His work in the line of history and genealogy has been one of labor and~~
	~~love-he being fond of research and investigation. He possesses that love of~~
	~~books, and a literary taste that has been characteristic of a distinguished~~
	~~ancestry. He is identified with the Presbyterian Church. Politically he is a~~
	~~Republican. During the war of the Rebellion he was a patriot, and served his~~
	~~country.~~

	~~Mr. Linn was twice married; (first) October 22, 1857 to Julia J. Pollock,~~
	~~born February 2, 1831, daughter of F. W. Pollock, of Milton, Penn., and their~~
	~~children were: Sarah P. G., born April 9, 1859; and Bessie W., born September~~
	~~13, 1860. Was married (second) to Mary E.D. Wilson, daughter of Samuel Hunter~~
	~~and Mary Benner Wilson, and their children are: Mary H., born July 26, 1869, and~~
	~~Henry Sage, born January 18, 1873, at Bellefonte, Penn. The latter is a member~~
	~~of the Society of Cincinnati. He is associated in the office with his father~~
	~~under whom he is preparing himself for the profession of the law. A well-~~
	~~educated, bright, genial and affable young man, he surely has before him a~~
	~~promising future.<ref>http://files.usgwarchives.org/pa/centre/bios/linn-john-b.txt</ref>~~

John Blair Linn was born at Lewisburg, Penn., October 15, 1831, and inherited
his inclination to genealogy and local history from his father, James F. Linn,
whose memorandums and newspaper files were the sources from which much of
whatever is valuable in the "Annals of Buffalo Valley" was derived. He was
prepared for college at the Lewisburg Academy, under John Robinson, Esq., late
of the Philadelphia Bar; entered Marshall College at Mercersburg, Penn., in May,
