Dear Bill, The last two issues of the Historicsl Society's Quarterlies had letters from Henry G & Jane Davis. Several times they mention Captain Flinn and Mrs. Flinn, who are my ancestors. Do you know anything about this relationship. Were they just friends? I seem to recall court documents where they were both listed.
