Hi Nannette,
John M. Lynn, Sr. served in the Civil War as a Private, E Company, 12 Regiment, Infantry Jan 1862-1865. In 1890 he lived in Buena Vista, Independence and Sumner, Polk Co., OR. Source: 1890 veterans Schedule, www.ancestry.com.
If you don't have this info I can email it to you.

In 1900 the family was living in Salt Lake, Polk Co., OR.
John M. Lynn, b. OH, Dec 1845, marr 28 yrs, farmer.
Rhoda, wife, b. IN, May 1855, had given birth to nine children but only seven alive in 1900.
Frank, b. MO, Dec. 1877, single, farmer.
Sadie, b. MO, May 1883.
James N., b. MO, Sept 1887, twin.
Charles E., b. MO, Sept 1887, twin.
John M. Lynn, b. OR, June 1890.
William S. Smithson, boarder & farm laborer.

In 1910 most of the family was living in South Dallas, Polk Co.
J. M., b. OH, 65 yrs old, 1st marr 37 yrs, farmer retired.
Rhoda Ann, wife, b. IN, 54, had given birth to nine children but seven alive in 1910.
Sadie, b. MO, 26, single, teacher public school.
James E., b. MO, 22, waiter restaurant.
Charles, b. MO, 22, barber.
John M., b. OR, 19.

I didn't find any other information about Sadie. If you want to pursue that she might have married in Polk Co., there is a volunteer at Random Acts Genealogical Kindness who might do this kind of lookup. Go to www.raogk.org, read instructions, choose Oregon, choose Polk Co. and look for Dick.

In 1920 John Sr., Rhoda and James were living in Dallas, Polk Co.
John Sr., b. OH, 74.
Rhoda, b. IN, 64.
James, b. MO, 32, single, general farmer.

I didn't find John Sr. in the Death INdex but he must have died after the 1920 and before the 1930 Census. I'd ask the RAOGK volunteer.

Rhoda A. Lynn in 1930 was living in Dallas at age 74.

James N. Lynn and his family in 1930 lived in Dallas.
James N., 43.
Katherine, wife, 24.
Janice L., dau, 3.

Charles and his family in 1930 lived in Dallas.
Charles E., 43.
Irene E., wife, 36.
Gladys L., 16.
Charles E., 9.
Lynn C. Vernon, 31.

In 1920 M. John Lynn Jr. and his family lived in Bridgeport, Polk Co., OR.
M. John, 29.
Grace, 26.
Sadie, 4.

In 1930 John M. Jr. and family were living in Precinct 29, Yamhill Co., OR.
John M., 37.
Grace D., 36.
Sadie R., 13.
Laura L., 8.

All of the following death info is from the OR Death Index 1903-98, www.ancestry.com.
John Morgan Lynn d. Polk Co., 29 Nov 1922 per death cert #147.

Rhoda A., d. Polk Co., 13 Jan 1945.

Frank, d. Coos Co., 15 Sept 1914 per death cert #2443.

Frank d. Marion Co., 1 Aug 1956 per death cert #9406. Don't know which Frank is your Frank.

Charles d. Polk Co. 2 March 1933 per death cert #34, Spouse=Irene.

John M, Jr. Age=78, d. Polk Co., 28 Jan 1965 per death cert #1298, Spouse=Grace.

I'm not related and just love to answer these queries.
