Perhaps we have the same line. I'm descended from Michael Flynn (stonemason) born 1821 in County Wicklow and Mary Leary born County Carlo. They came to the US in 1849, probablyt on the James H. Shepherd out of Liverpool, arriving New York on Jan 29, 1849. Their children, not in order, were: Catherine born July 9, 1853 in New York, who married Jules Hermas Vilmont. (This is my line.) Pat J. Flynn, who had a son Joseph and a daughter Alfonzo. Samuel Flynn who had one son. James & Thomas Flynn, who lived in Montour IA in Tama County. James worked as an Indian agent, spoke several languages, and married a girl from the tribe. He had 2 sons and 2 daughters. John (oldest) lived at Pilot, NE. Michael lost his wife & child in childbirth and never remarried. Mary Flynn married a Reed, lived in Chicago & moved to CA after her husband died. I do have more information on some of the lines. See any common relatives??? Would ! like to hear from you.
