I'm currently working on:

  • Trying to see if I can dig up anything about William Linn's children give clues about William's or Hugh Linn's lives.
  • Figuring out what other documents may exist in Pennsylvania about the Linns.
    • I got a few pages of Wills from the Mercer County courthouse (see James Linn), but they unfortunately didn't have any original signatures or new information on them
    • Give the Franklin County Archives a call (717-709-7218) to ask about their services. It's only a 4 hr drive to get there. Possible to do on a saturday? (might have death certificates, wills, deeds from Hugh/Sarah.)
  • I'd eventually like to get to NARA to see if they have any interesting records we haven't come across.
    • Would they have passenger lists for Hugh Linn's ship?
  • Continue on Researching Eighteenth Century Pennsylvania and apply it to Robert Walker III, who I'm confident we can find some historical records of (versus just oral history)
