Our family is looking for information for Patrick Linn who was born 1753 (possibly 30 Jun) supposedly in Ireland. Patrick and a brother, William, were said to have sailed to the colonies between 1770 and 1774. Both enlisted in the American Revolutionary War (Patrick in 1776) in the 4th/5th Pennsylvania Line. Patrick later lived in South Carolina where a son, William, was born, then moved to Limestone, Bourbon Co., Virgina (that part of the state was later changed to Kentucky). From there, Patrick moved to Indiana where he died in 1829. It's rumored that Patrick's family in Ireland was in the shipping business and his family disowned him because of the woman he married (Mary). We would really like to find our Patrick's home. He may have been Scotch-Irish. Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.
