Mary Brown in Rome, Oneida County, this state, Sept 26, 1802. Mrs F. was b. in Coventry, Conn Nov 30, 1780. About 1812 they emigrated to Forestville, this county, and from thee to P. in 1817, and settled on pt. of lot 36, T.5, the farm now owned by his son Henry. He occupied a log house until 1833,when he built the frame house now upon the farm. Mr. Flint was a tanner and currier and shoemaker; but the great business of life as with every settler was clearing the land of its excessive growth of timber. It is surprising with what cheerfulness the settlers labored. The prospect of the blessings of a home wrought outby their own hands from the wilderness was an inspiration that softened every toil. The family speak of hardship and privations but they were the inevitable lot of every early emigrant. Mr. F. occupied his farm forty-three years dying Jan 15! , 1860, at the age of 91 years. Mrs. F. preceded him, dying May 5, 1849 aged 68. They were bu. in Evergreen Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. F. were Methodists, and members of the first class formed in town. Politically Mr. F. was a whig."
