My Great Grandfather was Lillius Aiden Lynch, b.1862, my lineage continuing back through Lewis W. Lynch, Gray Lynch, and to William Lynch. I do not have much information at this time on Joseph, but I have been trying to find out which wife of William's son Gray, born 1788. He had a brother named Joseph, b 1808. There is a book available through LDS, entitled "Our Lynch Line". It had many of the same articles as "Lynch Families of the Southern States". Please let me know if you know the Mother of Gray, and the order of marriages. Thanks MJS

Joseph would have been my 3rd Great Grand Uncle. My 3rd great grandfather was Adin Lynch, Joseph's brother. The book "Lynch Families of the Southern States" is a book published in 1966 that lists a great deal of information on Lynch families in the South (obviously). It was compiled by a Lois Hines who was researching her family (Joseph Penn Lynch). There is a lot of info on Lynch's from Kentucky, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virgina. There is varying information on Lynch's from most of the other Southern states as well. And a little bit on the Lynch's of Ireland and England.The only info I have on Joseph Lynch is that he was born in 1808 in Brunswick County, VA, Married in 1843, moved to Ohio somewhere between 1843 and 1846, and died in Ohio sometime after 1850. Mr. Bill Lynch of Georgia has been tremendously helpful in helping me learn about my family. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention him....The text of William Lynch's will is in the book (not a photo copy of it however).

I may have the info on Gray Lynch if it's the one that died on 10/22/1872 in Bedford Co TN. One of his sons was named Adin and died in Jonesboro, Ark 2/1/1891. My phone # is 502-239-1863 Louisville, KY Lewis was the youngest and died 1/15/1910 in Bell Buckle, TN. William Lynch is the patriarch of our line in the US and had 34 children. He died in 1837. "

William Lynch, father of 34 children

In doing some preliminary ressearch on this family (the Lynch family) I believe we probably decend from this William. Have not yet been able to attach him to our family tree but wanted to document some of the information I have located on the net. This particular post was done by
www.lynchtree.com/index.htm#CNTC
and lists the will of William showing most, if not all, o f his children.


Notes for William Lynch
Will probated in August Term of Court, 1837. The site of his grave is unknown. Many of William's childern names plus their wife's names verified through Carl D. Lynch's research and Cecil C. Pryor book " Our Lynch Line ". Both contain excellant information on William's descendants. I tried to place Williams childern with proper mother by deductive reasoning using birth, death and marriage dates. I am sure there are errors. The correct mother-child relationship will probably remain unsolved forever.

_______________The Will of William LynchIn the name of God Amen, I William Lynch of the County Of BrunswickAnd State of Virginia, being in perfect senses and memory and beliveth all mankind are born to die, think proper to dispose of my worldly estate in manner and form as follows: To wit: First I desire all my just and lawful debts and funeral expenses to be paid out of my estate and the balance I give andbequeath in the following manner (vis) I give to my wife Eliza Lynchone cow and calf called Fillpail and one womans saddle to dispose ofas she may think proper. Second I give to Laxton Lynch one dollar, Third I give to Clack Lynch one dollar. Fourth, I give to JarratLynch one dollar. Fifth, I give to Grief Lynch one dollar, Sixth, Igive to Gray Lynch one dollar. Seventh, I give to Molly Lynch one dollar, Eigth, I give to Meredith Lynch one dollar. Ninth, I give to Edlaw Lynch one dollar. Tenth, I give to Gilbert Lynch one dollar. Eleventh, I give to Asbury Lynch one dollar. Twelth, I give to the heirs of Syrach Lynch one dollar. Thirteenth, I give to Benjamin W. Lynch twenty dollars. Fifteenth, I give to James H. Lynch twenty dollars. I give the above sums to the afore mentioned children to them and their heirs forever. I give to my granddaughter Jincey A. H. Lynch the bed and furnniture on which I lie to her and her heirs forever. Sixteenth, I desire that all my plantations and land to be equally divided between Lemuel Lynch, Joseph A. Lynch, Benjamin W. Lynch and James H. Lynch to them and their heirs forever. Seventeenth, I give to Rachel Lynch one dollar to her and her heirs forever, Eighteenth, all the balance of my estate I give to the following married children (that is to say) Adin Lynch, Sion Lynch, Winey Wray, Chancy Lynch, Aggy B. Whitly and Nancy C. Wright, I give the same to them and their heirs forever. I do appoint my son Adin Lynch and my grandson James C. Lynch executors of this my last will and testament revoking all others by me heretofore made. In witness thereof I hereunto set my hand and seal this First Day of January in the year of our Lord 1833.HisWilliam X Lynch MarkActed in presence of usHisHicks X Wray George G. LynchMarkHisWarren G. X Lynch Thinchen T. LynchMarkProbated in August, 1837(note: for some reason there was no 14th item listed in the will)______________An Act of the Virginia General Assembly, Passed February 9, 1827Whereas it is represented to the General Assembly that WilliamLynch, Senior of the County of Brunswick, is the father ofThirty-four legitimate children, of whom twenty-seven are nowliving; that he has been the husband of four wives, the last of whom is now young and healthy and gives him every assuranceof an increase of his numerous progeny; that he was a soldier in the War of Rebellion and has been through life and upright and useful citizen, but that age and the support of his numerousfamily have at last rendered him infirm and poor:BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY that William Lynch of theCounty of Brunswick, shall be hereafter exempt from the paymentof any public or county tax, levy, charge or contribution whatsoever and it shall not be lawful for any court, sheriff,deputy sheriff, coroner or other public official within thisCommonwealth to demand or receive of the said Lynch any suchtax, levy, charge or contribution. This act shall be in forcefrom and after passage thereof.Virginia General Assembly Act, 1826/1827, Chapter 113----------------I do not think William actually served in uniform during the Revolution War. I do think he was reconized because he furnished supplies to help feed the troops. The Library of Virginia has on file a receipt where William sold beef to the cause on October 29, 1781. The Daughters of the American Revolution in the past compiled a list of 644 people they named "Revolutionary Patriots of Brunswick County, Virginia". William is named in the list. There is also a James Lynch named. I think he was probably William's brother
Notes for Eliza (Spouse 1)
There is a possibility that Eliza last name was Grief
Notes for Nancy (Spouse 3)
Virginia State Archive states her and William's marriage license issued Oct. 25, 1802

Notes for Eliza (Spouse 4)
She was blind and living in son Warren's home when 1860 census was taken.
