Pat, here is the information on Jacob Flynn/Flinn: "On June 7, 1837, the First Baptist Society in Dorchester was constituted in Neponset Hall, Joshua Cushing and Deacon Jacob Flinn being the pillars of the new church during its early days. During the following year the first meeting-house of the society was erected on Chickatawbut Street, which was afterwards enlarged to meet the requirements of the increased number of worshippers." (p. 277) He is also listed on p. 278 as a Deacon of the church. Source: Good Old Dorchester A Narrative History of the Town 1630-1893, William Dana Orcutt, John Wilson & Son, University Press, 1893.
