General Notes: Husband - William Linn, Jr.


In June, 1755, he was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with his wagon, and was pressed into service, with his team, to haul supplies to General Braddock's army, and was at the noted defeat.
He was an officer in Middle Spring church.

The family tradition runs, he was in Philadelphia with his team when Benjamin Franklin, the great quartermaster, impressed him into the baggage train service of Gen. Braddock's army, and he was compelled to wagon it out to Pittsburg. Both going and returning, he stopped to water his horses at a spring at the base of North mountain, a few miles north of Shippensburg, a place that delighted him. On his return and discharge he purchased the place.
