Origin

Mid 19th century: from Lynch's law, named after Capt. William Lynch, head of a self-constituted judicial tribunal in Virginia circa1780.

During the War of American Independence (1775–83) a Captain William Lynch of Pittsville, Virginia, headed a self-constituted court with no legal authority which persecuted ‘Tories’, or people who supported the British side. People called this illegal punishment Lynch's law or lynch law. The penalties handed out were beatings or tarring and feathering, but by the mid 19th century to lynch a supposed offender was generally to hang him.
