The names I can verify are: Ellen Flynn married John Rafferty, Margarite Flynn married Erastus Maxwell and Catharina Flynn married Edward O'Brien, Mary Flynn married Charles Linden. The name Merchant Meade (or the other way around) was told to me by my aunt many years ago. I have not found Meade in any census years. Where in WI were your Flynn's living? Mine were in Sheboygan and Calumet County until sometine after 1870. In the 1880 census Patrick is missing but Mary Flinn and the children are in Prairie Farm Barron County. Patrick died in 1891 in Dallas, Barron County, WI.
