Hugh Linn gravesite
This is the gravestone of my great-great-grandfather Hugh Linn of Robinsonville, PA (1808-1881) at the Robinsonville Cemetery near Clearville, Bedford County, PA. At the age of 53, Hugh volunteered along with two sons to serve the Union in the American Civil War. He was a teamster or wagoner, presumably moving supplies for the troops, He, Riley, and William were at Harpers Ferry when it fell to Stonewall Jackson's army. He survived the war and joined the fraternal organization Grand Army of the Republic; thus, the GAR marker at his grave. This is a photo I took while visiting the grave in the summer of 1990. Hugh's son Alexander was my great-grandfather, and I would love to hear from descendants of certain of Hugh's children : (1) John S. Linn, who went to California possibly as early as the 1860s and certainly by 1880; (2) Elizabeth, who I believe married Foster Bergstresser; (3) Lucinda, wife of Bartley Miller; (4) William, who married Isabelle Frances Stott; or (5) Alfred, who married Rhoda B. Allender.
