Just realized that Archibald Scott is listed as a linen weaver on his daughter Catherine Scott Lynn Wright's death certificate in Scotland 1866. From some of the earlier posts, it sounds like some of the Lynn ancestors were weavers from Paris.

The Lynns, according to what has been passed down in my family, were Huguenot weavers
who came from France to Ireland early on.

Perhaps this is how John Lynn and Catherine Scott met. Through their families being weavers. Any thoughts?

The Lynn family from Knockahollet that my Lynn male cousin is found to be most closely related to through DNA can be found at http://ru198lynns.house-of-lynn.com/James%20Lynn.html

While there are three generations, the first and second generations are the ones that might help narrow the search to find Archibald Scott, Marion Taylor and their daughter Katherine Scott Lynn.

Thanks,
Cindy

Using the DNA test, our Lynn family line is most closely related to another known Lynn family from Knockahollet, Loughguile Parish, which is just nine miles west of Drumreagh, Ballymoney Parish, where John Lynn and Katherine Scott's first child (that we know of) Peggy Jane was born in 1836. I will ask the other Lynn in the DNA test for his known Lynn family names in the area. There are several Archibald Scott listed in the area and some have been eliminated because their known wives names are not named Marion (Taylor). The next step (I'm thinking) is trying to figure out if the Scott and Taylor families in Aghadowey area can be proven to be related to my 3rd great grandmother Katherine Scott.

Wish I had more information. However, I do know that the Lynn family we were closely related to in the DNA project were weavers. We did see on our 2nd great grandfather's (Charles Lynn, son to John and Katherine Scott) military records that he listed his occupation as weaver. Perhaps this might help as well.

Thanks for the response. Your expertise and any help you can provide is much appreciated!

Thank you for your replies.

I am searching for concrete information on my ancestors, the names Archibald Scott and Marion Taylor - Ireland came from Katherine's death certificate in Scotland. The names in the 1740 Protestant householder report give the indication that they might have been their family. A marriage for Archibald Scott and Marion Taylor some time before 1812, would give me a place name and possibly their parent's names. Likewise for a baptism for Katherine in 1812. I think that they would have been Presbyterian, but not sure. My grandmother who passed years ago, stated the Katherine Scott was born in Ireland and her husband John Lynn (Linn) was born in Scotland. However, I believe that John Lynn died in Ireland prior to 1851, so he could be buried in the same area as they were married. Also, my Lynn male cousin has taken a DNA test just for the Lynn family, which shows that he is related to other Lynn males from this area.

Thank you again for your time and response to my post.

I believe that my ancestors Archibald Scott and Marion Taylor might have come from Aghadowey Parish. My 3rd great Grandmother Katherine was born about 1812. Does anyone have access to Church records for Agadowey or other areas in Coleraine, for the early 1800's to check for a marriage for Archibald Scott and Marion Taylor or a baptism for Katherine Scott about 1812?

Thank you for any help or suggestions!
Cindy
