Note: John Lynn was in Queen County, Maryland in 1730 and in Augusta

County, Virginia by 1746. He sued his brother, Dr. William Lynn there in

1751. This may be why John, unklike his other relatives, is not

mentioned in William's will. Court records of November 1751 indicate a

lawsuit between William Lynn of Fredericksburg and "Irish Doctor John

Lynn, Revolutionary soldier and who drew a pension from March 4, 1831.
this letter was direected to James Linn or his administrator, taken from
the Post Office, resent to Isaac Holmes, his son-in-law. Isaac Holmes
has been trying to draw papres in order to draw up the money without my
knowledge. I am the only son of James Lynn and I ask how I may proceed
in the matter. My father, James Lynn moved with me from Alabama and
remained with me until his death. I have his certificate. (Signed)"
