He added to his first purchase a farm of 130 acres, owned by one Pearce. The deed was made in 1790, and bears the vania. Upon this tract are some of the largest locust trees is the state, one measuring twenty feet in circumference, and known to be nearly two centuries old, is probably the progenitor of all the living locusts of this region. It also contains the remains of "Fort Sedgy". The tract was known by that name. The Fort consisted of a strong stone wall about four feet high, built in the shape of a horseshoe. Many relics have been found here, such as tomahawks, skeletons, ect. One human skeleton here found measured eight feet in length.
Andrew Lynn Jr. was a man of local note, and among other things was distinguished for having served as Justice of the Peace for 40 years. He built in 1790 a stone mansion, fashioned after the one built by Col. Edward Cook's. in 1772, but it did not turn out to be as durable as Cook's. The latter stands yet and serves it's original purpose, while Lynn's abandoned as human habitation in 1866, fast failed to ruin. Near the Lynn mansion stands a famous locust tree under whose wide spreading Branch's Gen. George Washington, Andrew Lynn and Col. Edward Cook are said to have met and tarried for some time in social intercourse.
Adjoining Andrew Lynn Jr., on the river lived a colored man known as London Derry, who in company with Andrew Lynn and about 60 others went on a land-looking expedition to Marshall County, VA. They were attacked en route by a body of Indians, and compelled to seek safety in a flight which included a swimming of the Ohio. Lynn's escape was so narrow he lost a portion of his scalp. While Derry, saved himself by burrowing beneath the roots of a tree.
Andrew Lynn Jr., was a [DAR says Captain] [Historic Pittsburghin, says Colonel] the Revolutionary war, and served during the entire struggle.
