This may help with that Flickinger mystery. The Kenton County KY Index #1 has a marriage for: Bernard FLECKINGER age 24, res. Ludlow to Stefunia LING age 20, also of Ludlow. they were married on 10/29/1871. He was a carpenter born OH, parents Germany. She was born in Germany as were her parents. This index has some definite handwriting transcription errors. It would not surprise me if the bride's name should be Stephania/Stefania LINZ, not Ling. Apparently, the bride died and children were living with the Linz grandparents? Ann Bergelt
