Not sure where the siblings noted here have come from. As the ggGranddaughter of Francis Linton, I find it suspicious that the same names shown as his “siblings” are the exact match to his children who were all born in Canada. Please advise where this i formation has come from as I feel the “siblings” are noted in error and are duplicates of my gAunts and gUncles.
If you look at the sources you will find that your “suspicion” is without merit. The family used the same name over multiple generations and across multiple family lines.
Francis Linton (born: 1770) married Mary Sleightholme in 1793. They had eight children, of whom four - Moses, Francis, William and Eleanor - immigrated to Upper Canada.
John Linton (born 1769) brother of Francis (1770) also had children who immigrated to Upper Canada. I am still researching this line of the family but it includes an Isaac and a Robert.
I would also recommend you look at the following which specifically references Eleanor:

Thank you for the info.
My notes for my family are in a binder packed away due to a recent move so I haven’t been able to review them recently.
Do you have any insight into the Linton farm in Raglan? I presume we are related .
Hopefully I will have time soon to get back to my binder to update my genealogy .
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Deborah
