Sam Linson was born about 1828 in Coshocton County, Ohio. It is likely that Sam's mother died at the family homestead, possibly giving birth to Sam. Sam may possibly also have died, as no other record has been located about him after his birth. Nothing is known about Sam. He may have died at birth, as his mother died at about the same time as his birth. Parents: William Tomlinson and Martha Mockbee.

Samuel Linson was born on 3 June 1837 in Coshocton County, Ohio. He lived in Mount Healthy, Bartholomew County, Indiana before 11 August 1862. He served in the military during the Civil War in Company A, 93rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry from 11 August 1862 to 27 April 1865. Samuel served in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Samuel was captured by Confederate cavalry troops of General Nathan Bedford Forrest on June 10, 1864 at the Battle of Brice's Cross Roads in Mississippi and confined to prison camp at Catawba, Alabama. He was admitted to the hospital there on Feb 10 1865.
Samuel was parolled at Vicksburg, Mississippi about Apr 21 1865 and was put aboard the steamer Sultana to return home. The Sultana had arrived at Vicksburg with boilers leaking badly. She remained in Vicksburg three hours for repairs, and to take aboard 1,966 federal soldiers and 35 officers released from Cahawba, Alabama and Andersonville, Georgia prisons. She arrived at Memphis, Tennessee on the evening of Apr 27 and after cooling, proceeded. When about 7 miles out she blew up, immediately taking fire and burning to the water's edge. Samuel was among the estimated 1,500 men lost on the overloaded ship. He left his young widow living at home with his parents. Their only child had died during the war.
The Sultana was a large side-wheel steamboat built in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1863. It followed a regular route between Saint Louis and New Orleans. In April 1865, it left New Orleans and stopped at Vicksburg to pick up Union troops that had been imprisoned by the Confederacy. Samuel died on 27 April 1865 in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. Samuel was killed when the steamboat Sultana was blown up on the Mississippi River about three weeks after the war was officially over. He was aboard the Sultana returning home after the end of the Civil War. The ship carried about 2,300 to 2,400 passengers, six times the designed limit, when she blew up and burned. Of the 1,500 to 1,800 fatalities, approximately 1,100 were Civil War veterans, many released prisoners of war, returning home.

Surrelda J. Linson was born on 4 June 1850 in Coshocton County, Ohio. It should be noted that Bartholomew County records indicate Surrelda J. Linson as the daughter of William Linson and Amelia Catherine Fitch. Other records found indicate her parentage as listed here, and this is being used because it appears to fit with other information, but it should be viewed as questionable, at least until confirmed one way or another.
In another apparent conflict in information, one source states her husband as John W. Watkins, but another states his name as John B. Watkins and her son as John W. Watkins, so this appears to be another questionable fact about this relative. In both cases, it could not be verified which is correct without further research, and is viewed as very questionable.

He died at General (now Wishard Memorial) Hospital. He was buried after 30 November 1957 in Methodist Church Cemetery, Ogilville, Bartholomew County, Indiana. William was a mechanic in Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. He came to Indianapolis because of the automobile manufacturere in the city at the time. He became Chief Mechanic at the U. S. Post Office garage in Indianapolis where he worked until retirement. During World War II, he was solely responsible for keeping the Post Office fleet of Model A fords running throughout the United States. Because of the war, the Post Office Department could not get new vehicles, and it was vitally important to keep their fleet of Model A's running. William invented a jog to hold the pistons in a lathe so that they could be turned down, thus allowing a liner to be placed in the block which allowed the engine to run like new again. He traveled across the United States helping other Post Office mechanics make the jig. After being denied a patent for the invention because he had developed it on the job with the Post Office, he developed a paranoia, insisting that enemy agents were trying to steal his invention and kill him. He owned small travel trailer. After retirement, William bought a travel trailer and spent the rest of his years between Florida in the winter and Michigan in the summer--fishing. He always stopped off in Indianapolis for a few weeks each year. William left home shortly after his youngest son, Robert, was born. He continued to support the family until the children were grown. He also helped to pay for a college education for his oldest son, Ray, in the hope that Ray would help the younger children with their college expenses. However, with the continued rise in the cost of education and the onset of the depression, Ray could not do so. Parents: Melvin Addison Linson and Mary Melvina Donnelly.

Rev. William Alexander Linson was born on 19 November 1813 in Montgomery County, Maryland. Have also found his birthplace as Indiana in one source, and Greenbriar, Virginia (now West Virginia) by another source. He lived in Coshocton County, Ohio about 1814. When he was a baby, his parents brought him here on horseback. He lived in Mount Healthy, Bartholomew County, Indiana after 1844. In 1844 William and Amelia, along with a great many of their family members, migrated in covered wagons with her mother, brothers, and sisters as well as Mr. and Mrs. Buxton, Grandma Buxton, Isaac Parks and family, and George Buxton, who was the brother of Gideon Fitch's wife, to Mount Healthy, Indiana. This trip was made during the James K. Polk presidential administration, and they had written on their wagon, "Hurrah for Polk." The Fitches at this time were staunch Democrats, but old Mr. Buxton was a Whig. Some of the party had written this Polk slogan on the wagon to tease the old man. This joke caused much trouble on their journey, as people in various communities on the road refused to give them drinking water because of political prejudice.
Amelia Catherine and William Linson took a land grant from the government. The land was situated near Mount Healthy, Indiana. The couple lived there the remainder of their days, and as of 1938, this land was still in the possession of their descendants. William served in the military during the Civil War as a Corporal in the 93rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry between 1861 and 1865. Before 1869 he was a Farmer in Bartholomew County, Indiana. Before 1869 he was a Methodist minister. In addition to being a farmer, he is also reported to have been "a Methodist minister, who preached holiness." No other details are known, however. William died on 15 January 1869 in Bartholomew County, Indiana. He died of lockjaw, a condition resulting from an infected tooth. Also have located a date of death listed as Sep 15 1867, yet another conflict with this interesting member of the family, to go along with three different birthplaces! He was buried after 15 January 1869 in Mount Healthy Cemetery, Bartholomew County, Indiana. William was listed on the 1894 pension list as from Ohio Township, Bartholomew County, Indiana, and with 5 children under 16 years of age, but he reportedly died in 1869 so it is unknown which year this information pertains to. When he was still a baby, his parents took him on horseback to Coshoctin County, Ohio. Such a trip would have taken several weeks to accomplish, depending on which of the three supposed birthplaces are shown for him, and makes one wonder if people of today could have ever undertaken such a trip. Parents: William Tomlinson and Martha Mockbee.

He died the day before his eleventh birthday. He was described as "an exceptionally bright and well loved little boy.". Parents: Sylvester Hamline Linson and Ella Rachel Hughes.
