I've been watching this list for a while, but I have yet to see any "early" Flynns. My ancestor, James Flynn, was living in Machias, Maine in the 1770s, and served in the Revolutionary War. According to everything I've found thus far (limited, to say the least) he was married to Mary Kinsella and had children including William, Mary, Eleanor, George and James, Jr. I do not know where he came from or when. Does anyone have this Flynn in their family tree? Jane Cole
