"The first survey of lands in Fayette County under the law of 1769 appears to have been made to Andrew Linn, Aug. 22, 1769. It lies in what are now Redstone and Jefferson townships, upon the Redstone Creek. The tract, including two hundred and forty- four and one-half acres, was called Crab-Tree Bottom." — "History of Fayette County, Pennsylvania : with biographical sketches of many of its pioneers and prominent men", pg. 727
"As is well known, peace was made with the British in 1783, but the Indians continued at war with settlers who were occupying their lands. In 1785, Colonel Andrew Linn, Jr., with his son, William, and a party of neighbors, made a trip to the Hocking River in Ohio and began tomahawking claims to land along it. As was to be expected, Indians attacked them. They escaped by swimming the river, but after reaching the farther bank William Linn had his left arm shattered by a bullet from an Indian gun." — The Filson Club History Quarterly; Pioneer Linns of Kentucky; Vol. 20, 1946; pg. 33
