I am off the Flint line of Worchester Co. MD.   I never have been able to connect this to John Flint but there is a John Flint who got married in Snow Hill, MD in the 1720's. I can't find my Flint Info., but am still looking.  My Grandfather was Joseph H. Flint b. Bethany, Mo and d. FL.  I am off his first wife Mabel Thurston.   Betty "Forget the box, Just Think Outside" ----- Original Message ---- From: Grampy <grampy@tampabay.rr.com> To: lower-delmarva-roots@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, October 7, 2008 3:24:56 PM Subject: Re: [LDR] John Flint of Worcester Co. Maryland Theresa, I don't have any information on the John Flint you mention.  However, just to keep things interesting, there is a certifocate for headrights in Accomack County, VA  dated 17 Feb. 1674/5... Certificate is this day granted to Mrs. Tabitha Brown for rights for transportation of 42 persons into this colony whose names are underwritten viz:  Among the 42 names is the name of Jon Flint. Also, In the book "Early Settlers of Maryland" by Skordas, there is a listing for a Tobias Flint (transported 1659) and a Richard Flint (transported 1668). Happy Hunting!

Maryland I'm throwing this puzzle out, hoping someone has suggestions: The earliest ancestor in one line I am researching is a John Flint, b. 1700-1706 birthplace uncertain, d. about 1770 in Worcester County MD. This man founded a line of Flints who in subsequent generations moved to the midwestern US. Here's the fun part:  I have located a John Flint, age 23 in 1722, who was convicted of a crime in Hornsey, Middlesex, England, spent 6 months in Newgate prison, and was transported on ship Jonathan to the US and arrived Annapolis July 1724. I am currently stymied in trying to tie these two stories together to see if this is one and the same man.  Can anyone give me advice?  I assume most convicts were indentured upon arrival, but I do not know if there would be records to see where convict John Flint ended up. Any leads are most appreciated. Theresa Steeper *************************************** QUESTIONS about POSTING GUIDELINES, SUBSCRIBING or UNSUBSCRIBING?
