Marilyn, In more than one instance I have come across "two yellow lynns" in a survey in (West) Virginia - also done in the 1820s and 1830s. I'm pretty sure they refer to trees. Diane

Linn appears to be referencing a tree, the American Basswood also called the American Linden see this for reference and other names: http://www2.fpl.fs.fed.us/TechSheets/HardwoodNA/htmlDocs/tiliaa1.html It still leaves the actual descrption to be sure it makes sense that this is a tree.

I agree with everyone that it is probably a tree, but also agree with Jeff and others that we need a transcription of the legal description in the deed to be sure of it.
