William Linn 1776 VA line
PASSPORTS OF SOUTHEASTERN PIONEERS1770 - 1823
by Dorothy Williams Potter
Spanish passports in the Mississippi valley
On july 19, 1776, Captain George Gibson of the Virginia line and Lieutenant WILLIAM LINN set out from Fort Pitt for the purpose of negotiating a purchase in New Orleans...
With forty- three men in several barges Lieutenant Linn departed from New Orleans, Spetember 22, to return with a cargo of 9,000 pounds of powder.On account of the lateness of the season, the party wintered at the Arkansas Post.In the spring the Americans started again northward and reached the mouth of the Ohio on March 3, 1777, and passed up that river to their destination in safety...
my note - Ft Pitt is today Pittsburg, PA.
