The Evidence

The link above is to a discussion of the documents and records proving the Lynns' direct ownership of the barony of Lynn in Dalry, Ayrshire. The discussion includes the items most essential to this particular issue but which are only part of a much larger history of the family presented in the book, "Lynneage - the Lynns, Linns, and Linds of Scotland and Ulster". The chapter on the Lynns of that Ilk - "Lords of Lynn, Highlees, and Bourtreehill" - is 29 pages long. Click the link above, or copy and paste this URL for the discussion:

Widney-Woodney-Udney

Descendants of Hugh Linn and Sarah Widney will also be interested in this history of the Widney/Woodney/Udney name in Ireland:
