Hugh was the first of our Clan Linn to set foot upon the shores of this continent. The year was 1788, a time when there were no established churches in the mountainous region where he settled, and he opened his home to his neighbors for Bible reading and prayer. He was a farmer and helped to found the village of Concord. Hugh was the husband of Sarah Widney Linn and father of 9 children:

John Linn March 19, 1778
William Linn 1780
Mary Linn 1782
Hugh Linn II 1785
Sarah Linn 1788
Margaret Linn 1790
James Linn 1792
Jane Linn 1795
Nancy Linn 1801

He was my 4th great grandfather.
