David Indeed the Derbyshire Quaker Lynams from Fritchley, Derbyshire (Tithe Barn) emigrated to Pennsylvania after persecution for many years to help form Darby County in that State.

I don't have Lynams in my family, but the name is not unknown in this part of the Delaware River valley. They are descended no doubt from English Quakers who settled in Pennsylvania in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. I have a feeling there might be a Derbyshire connection. > > David > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Feb 20, 2017, at 7:19 AM, Peter Patilla via DERBYSGEN <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Good morning >> Just to announce the launch of my new website about the Derbyshire Lynams which can be found at www.lynamhistory.uk <http://www.lynamhistory.uk/> >> >> When I was researching my wife’s family (she was a Lynam) I came across the late Valerie Jones (nee Lynam) who was a one-name Derbyshire Lynam researcher.
