John Tyler Linton

John Tyler Linton (1796–1821) was a Virginia landowner and philanthropist whose landholdings were donated by his daughter, Sarah Elliott Graham Linton (1822–1901) for the establishment of schools for poor boys and girls in Bristow, Virginia.

Linton's Ford was part of the land owned by a family of English "Cavaliers" (followers of King Charles I of England) who came to Virginia from Scotland just after the English Civil War and settled in Prince William County, Virginia.
