Notes:

William Linville participated in the famous Cresap Affair challenging Maryland's claim to Pennsylvania. Disguising himself as a native American and brandishing a weapon William and a group of several others tried to scare Thomas Cresap off the land which Cresap claimed as Maryland's territory and the Linvilles, Hendricks and others claimed as Pennsylvania's.

Within a year, sometime between 1733 and 1735, William developed a close association with Morgan Bryan's family, marrying Morgan's daughter Ellender Bryan and then moved with older brother Thomas Linville and his wife Hannah to an uninhabited 1500 acres of land around what became known as Linville Creek, VA. In the 1730s no more than a handful of families joined them at this place within sight of what would develop into the Great Wagon Road of migration a decade later.


Died:
Killed by Indians
report came in the South Carolina Gazette in Sept, 1766,

One William Linville, his son and another young man, who had gone over the mountains at the head of the Yadkin River to hunt, were there surprised by some Indians. The father and son were both killed on the spot, the other young man got off though much wounded and arrived at his settlement.
(snip)
In an interview with William Linville's grandson, Capt. Samuel Boone, son of his daughter Nancy, reported that William had had a premonition about his death:

The elder Linville aroused the young men just before morning, and bid them hasten away, or they would be massacred by the Indians.... "I have just dreamed that the Indians came up and massacred us. The circumstance was so vividly infused in my mind that I feel this it is a warning. So you escape and save yourselves. I am too feeble to make the attempt." The words had scarcely died upon his lips, and before the young men had time to make the least movement, when the Indians...now fired a volley and shot - killing the two Linvilles.
