by Stefan Bielinski Thomas Lynott was of Irish heritage. He lived in Albany during the mid-1760s. At that time, he was married to Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh - daughter of an Albany carpenter. The marriage produced at least two daughters.
He may have been involved in land sales. In May 1769, his friend Hugh Denniston said that Lynott was in Ireland. Later that year, Thomas Lynott filed a will. It stated that he was a resident of "Potamocassock" in Albany County. He divided his estate consisting of real and personal properties among his wife and two daughters. The will also mentioned two nephews living in Dublin, Ireland. The will passed probate in September 1770.
