William Thomas Adam Linn

Quoted from Rootsweb: As much as I would like to find Joseph Linn's documented Linn Family; this is, in my conclusion, not this particular William Linn family. They do not have one Joseph Linn in all their fully documented family history that I could find. Editor: Rebecca A. Kerr 4/10/2010
