A lot of this has not been confirmed, but it appears that the lineage
went back this way starting with #1 being the farthest back. I also have
about 200 pages of written documentation that I got from another
researcher, but haven't typed all that into my Family Tree program yet.

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" of Augusta County. Apparently this dispute remained unresolved,
John left the county.
He attended Tinkling Spring Church near Staunton, Virginia--also other
Lynns, Patton and Prestons.
In 1749 John Lynn Jr., and his brothers James and Andrew were in court
there--- John Jr. received land, James and Andrew witnessed.
