Have you done a lot of research on the Flynn's, Tom? My great grandmother
married a John Flynn, <Born: 1849 Oct --Died or Buried: 1905 May 15> when
her first husband was killed. So my mother had a step brother named Francis
Flynn. He never married, and it was always fun when he visited. He made
powerful horseradish. Wonder if the family is the same? There was also a
younger John Flynn, but I don't know where he fits in. I don't know where
John Sr. came from either. You sound like you have done some research on
the Irish etc. This is an interesting group! Jeannie
