Jno W. Lynn 20-30 1800-1810 (prob son 5 of John C and Jane Penny?)

Died:
There is a Nancy Lynn in 1850 Union Co, about same age; however there are children born after 1825, the year she became widowed by James Lynn. Residents on same page are some Stone and Yates who had connected with the Belows family. (sisters Agnes and Sarah, twins, m Wm Johnston Stone and Robert W. Stone, brothers) I doubt that this is the same Nancy Lynn.
The Nancy in 1850 shows a son Philip b 1838; and a tree in Ancestry shows Philip's father as Andrew Lynn. Unk who he was.

Notes:

Married:
Several trees show her to be Nancy Agnes Ramsey; however, I found no record of that being her name. Nancy is shown in census records as Nancy. And Agnes who married William (apparently bro of James) consistently used Agnes. No record of James William or William James. I believe they are separate women and separate men. The marriage record for James Lynn and Agnes Ramsey has a John Lynn and a William Ramsey. it's easy enough to assume John is James father, and William is Agnes' father, but James' wife uses only name Nancy. I think this marriage record is a James that hasn't been identified yet.

Also, there isn't any substantial sources for the Ramsey family; so it's iffy, as well.
