Excerpt from The Clan Linn

HUGH WILLIAM LINN was born in 1818 in County Clare, Ireland. August 12, 1840, he married Miss Mary Chadwick, of Manchester, England, at Dublin, Ireland. Emigrating to this country they settled in Philadelphia, Pa., where they made their home until his death at the age of 82. Mrs. H. W. Linn is still living in Philadelphia. Hugh W. Linn was an honest, sturdy, hardworking man, a good Christian, devoting his whole life to his wife and children. Their home life was an ideal one and, although unable to supply all the luxuries of life, it was a happy, helpful home. Mr. Linn was a lifelong member of the Masonic Order and the I. O. O. F.

Their marriage was blessed with six sturdy sons and two daughters, of whom four sons, William, Samuel, Thomas and Hugh, and one daughter, Mary A., wife of William Adams, still survive. One daughter, Jennie Linn, and two sons, Matthew and Benjamin F. Linn, are deceased.
