Notes
a. Note:   Amos Otis identifies John Linnell as "the ancestor of the Barnstable and Yarmouth families, a prudent, industrious and respectable man. He resided a part of his life on his farm in the easterly part of Chequaquet, now called Hyannis Port, and a part on the John Davis estate. At his death he owned and occupied the house that stood opposite the residence of Dea. John Munroe, now owned by Capt. Foster. He was one of the earliest who removed to South Sea, as the south part of the town was then called… "In his will dated Oct 1, 1737, proved 7th July, 1748 he names his wife Ruth and his daughter Thankful Bearse, Bethia Bearse and Hannah Linnell. In a codicil dated July 5, 1748, he says his daughter, Bethia, is dead. To his daughter, Hannah, he gave his great chamber and privileges in the house so long as she remain single. To his son, Samuel, the southwest part of his farm or homestead at South Sea, containing twenty-one acres of upland and seven of meadow; to his son John the diddle portion containing nineteen acres of upland and three of marsh; to his son, Joseph, the remaining or easterly part, containing eleven acres of upland and three of marsh; and to his son, Jabez, "All his homestead farm lands, meadow, and house wherein he then dwelt. His wife, Ruth, owned real estate in her own right. He will ,proved July 5, 1748, is witnessed by Solomon Otis, David Crocker and Robert Davis. She refers to her sister Mercy Davis, deceased, and to her unmarried daughter Hannah. She owned land on the east side of the Hyannis Road, adjoining Nathaniel Baker’s formerly the property of her father" (Otis, Gen. Notes, vol.2, pa. 159-160).

  John Linnell was identified by Amos Otis as "the ancestor of the Barnstable and Yarmouth Linnell families; a prudent, industrious, and respectable man." …He was one of the earliest to move to the South Sea, now known as Hyannis Port, where he owned a farm. His wife Ruth Davis inherited property from her father, John Davis, that was also located in the Hyannis Port area and the Linnells lived on the estate part of the time. In those early days Hyannis and Hyannis Port were a part of the Barnstable County area; so John Linnell could properly be considered the Linnell ancestor of that entire area. By the time John died in 1747 and Ruth in 1748, their children were already well established with families of their own. The division of Property among them was, in most cases, an addition to their own holdings. Their daughter, Hannah 118,6 who did not marry, was bequeathed with the "great chamber" and privileges in the house as long as she remained single. The house and lands where John and Ruth had lived were willed to Jabez, 118,,7. Jabez continued to live there and to farm the land while maintaining his blacksmith trade. By 1755 Joseph, 118,5 and his family had moved to Yarmouth and were well established there. Samuel, 118,2 and John, Jr., 118,3 had families, responsibilities. Here they remained through the Revolutionary War period. But soon after that eventful time Samuel’s son, Samuel, and his grandson, Joseph, had migrated to Maine.
