Janice, thank you for sharing this information. If you ever run across ships leaving Londonderry in 1788, I'd like very much to know.

Persons named Lyn, Lyne, Lynn, Lynne, and Linn lived in County Donegal beginning about 1616. While most Lynns in Ulster appear to be from the Flynns/O'Flynns, some at least were Scots-Irish. Sources are listed at the end. In 1616, William Lynne was listed among servitors and natives who were granted lands in Caroreagh [Carrowreogh] (108 acres) and Largaurack [Largavracke] (240 acres) in Kilmacrenan Precinct or Barony, County Donegal during the plantation of Ulster. A servitor in Ulster was a usually a military officer. While Kilmacrenan continued to be inhabited largely by Irish Catholics, William Lynne is seen by inference (see 1654, below) to be a Scottish Protestant. In 1630, William Lyne appeared on the Muster Roll for County Donegal as being in the Barony of Rapho [Raphoe]. In 1654, David Lyne appears in the Civil Survey of County Donegal along with William Lyne, nephew to the first William Lynne above, as Scots Protestant proprietors of Bunintyne, Largebreake [Largavracke], and Carrowreagh. On 23 November 1665, William Lyn, son and only heir of the deceased Margaret Muir in the parish of Raphro [Raphoe] in the county of Donnygall [Donegal], disposed of a tenement, yard, and tailing rig on the east side of the high street of the burgh of Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. In 1767, David Linn was listed in the Donegal Poll Book as a freeholder living at Nether, County Donegal. In 1770, a will was probated for Patrick Linn lived in Bogside, County Donegal. In 1858, Robert Lynn leased several properties in Coolcholly, Kilbarron Parish, County Donegal: (1) a house, office and land with a total annual value of four pounds ten shillings; (2) 16+ acres of land, along with Catherine McBrerety and Patrick McGinley, Robert's share being valued at five shillings; and (3) 56+ acres of a mountain, along with Catharine McBrerety, Robert's share being valued at one pound fifteen shillings. Also in 1858, Daniel Lynn leased a house, offices and land on five+ acres in Knader, Kilbarron Parish with an annual valuation of five pounds fifteen shillings.
