The Linnigh family lived in Amsterdam from the early 17th century, engaged in business, and were members and sometimes deacons of the Waterlander congregation. Jacob Linnigh was a preacher of the Amsterdam Waterlander, later of the united Waterlander and Lamist congregation from 1661 until he resigned in 1684. A branch of this family is found in Eiderstedt and Hamburg, Germany. Andreas Linnich was a brewer at Eiderstedt about 1650. He may have been identical with Andreas Linnich, who about 1640 moved from Rade near Düsseldorf, Germany, to Friedrichstadt.
