Which Hugh?[edit]
Hugh Linn (1753) was alive in 1810, but was a farmer. His son Hugh Linn II, 25 years old in 1810, was a stone mason. Presumbly he is the Hugh receiving this land. If so, then this was not land that the elder Hugh Linn ever lived on.
Location[edit]
- James Campbell's land is not listed in the warrants for Fannett township, but a David Campbell did receive Fannet land along the creek in 1822[2]. The survey is shown here.
- David Ferguson--mentioned as being directly north of Hugh's lands--accepted a warrant for a 230 acre plot of land in Fannett township in 1816[3]. The survey is shown here.
