John came from Kilmarnock, Scotland with his brother Matthew on John Dunn's ship.

"John amd Jean also had two apopted children who came with them from Scotland, named Cunningham. The son became Cunningham Lymburner and resided at West Brooksville on land at first settled by Matthew Lymburner. He d.abt. 1825 advanced in age. He married Elizabeth "Betty" (Stover), b. Old York, ME., daughter of Nathaniel Stover and Mary (Weeks). The daughter [Margaret] became the wife of Thomas Conary, Jr. of Deer Isle." --Brooksville, Maine "A town in the Revolution" by Walter A. Snow 1976

Cunningham Lymburner who lived in Brooksville, Maine had sons David, John, Matthew and James and daughters Mariam, Mary, Elizabeth, Margaret, Mehittable, Nancy, Jane and Prudence. Son David died at sea 1821 and son John died pre 1813.

Emailed note from Brenda Young explained that the tombstone erected to John and Jean years after their death has the dates in error. She told me in 2002 that she believed that the Lymburner line is: Thomas>Alexander>Robert>Matthew>John>Our John and Matthew. She was looking forward to checking wills in Scotland to verify this line. She hadn't found any tartans for Lymburners, but said that the Glen Family is from Mackintosh and Chattan Clans. The story passed down about Matthew and John marrying two sisters is also false...the truth being that John married two sisters.
