| Notes |
- John M. Linkous moved from Montgomery Co. to Tazewell Co., VA around 1830 and located near Paint Lick Mountain. He was a Primitive Baptist Preacher. He has the distinction of having the second most descendants of the grandchildren of Henry. William W. Linkous, a grandson of John M., wrote about him in 1935 as follows: "It has been 52 years since I saw my grandfather. I can remember some stories he told and some stories told about him. It is said that he was a very bold, strong man and very brave. I heard a man say he saw him get mad and strike a log cabin with his fist and it shook the cabin. Never-the-less, the bravest sometimes get scared. He told me about being out one night and there was something coming toward him and it looked as big as a house. He picked up a stone and threw it with all his might and ran to the house as fast as his legs would carry him. He went back the next morning and he had killed a "possum." Many are the times that I road horseback in the "rear seat" to see them over the hills--no roads except bridal paths. They broke up housekeeping and came to our house to live. While I do not know the exact date, I think it was in the latter part of 1881. My father died Nov. 21, 1882 and my grandmother about two weeks earlier. Then grandfather and aunt Mary left right soon and went to Kentucky and I think both of them died shortly afterwards and were buried there. My uncle Milburn came to my house and took them away to Kentucky." SOURCE: "The Linkous Family History", by Clovis E. Linkous, 1982. 2929 Woodstock Ct. Ft. Wayne IN 46815
