US Congressman. Elected as a Democratic-Republican to represent New Jersey's 1st and 10th Districts in the US House of Representatives, he served from 1817 until his death in office. Linn was born near Johnsonburg, Warren County, New Jersey, and was raised in Sussex County. During the Revolutionary War he entered the Continental Army as a Private in the First Regiment of Captain Reuben Mannings's Company (formerly of the Sussex County Militia), and ended his service as a Sergeant. He was a member of the State General Assembly from 1801 to 1804, a judge of the Court of Common Pleas from 1805 to 1821, and Sheriff of Sussex County in 1812.

Judge John' Linn, a native of' Hardwick Township,
of Irish extraction, after spending the earlier part of his
life on his native place, removed with his family to
Hardyston; ' in the" upper part of the County, where he
purchased a farm and continued to reside the remainder
of his days. He married the daughter of the senior
Richard Hunt, of Hardwick. Judge Linn was possessed
of a strong mind and sound judgment, endowed with
talents above mediocrity ; so that his influence was not
inconsiderable in the community, and of a salutary kind.
He represented the district in the United States Con-
gress for several terms^ with honor to himself, as well
as advantage and satisfaction to his constituents. While
in Congress in the winter, I think, of 1822 or '23, he was
taken ill and died of typhoid fever. His remains were
shortly after sent for and brought home to his family.
He was a professor of religion, and I think held the office
of elder in the Presbyterian church. His age it his de-
cease did not exceed sixty years....
....John Linn, son of Joseph and Martha (Kirkpatrick) Linn, was
born Dec. 3, 1763, in Hardwick township. During the Revolutionary
War he was first private, then sergeant, in Capt. Manning's Company,
Sussex, N. J., Troops. He married May 19, 1791, Martha Hunt,
daughter of Richard Hunt, Sr., of Hardwick, who died July 25, 1827,
in the 54th year of her age. They had fourteen children. He was
sheriff of Sussex Co. and in 1805 was appointed judge of the Court
of Common Pleas, serving for sixteen years. He was then elected
member of Congress and re-elected for a second term. He died in
Washington City, Jan. 5, 1821, of typhoid/ fever. His remains were
brought the whole distance in a sleigh to the North Church cemetery,
where he was buried. His sons. Dr. Alexander Linn and Dr.
William Helm Linn, were eminent in their profession. His grand-
son, William Alexander Linn, son of Dr. Alexander Linn, jour-
nalist and author, graduated at Yale, and afterwards became one of
the editors of the New York Tribune, and later of the New York
Evening Post. He is author of a "Life of Horace Greely," "Story
