      [HCM, p736-737]: Robert Flint was an Englishman, who came with his family to this county in 1830, and two years later moved to Byron, where he worked at the mason trade for some time. Later he bought a farm. He was the father of seven children - Robert G., George, Mary (deceased), Mary, Pirney, Patience and H.B. Mr. Flint died at the age of seventy-five years. He was a member of the Church of England, and was a prosperous farmer.
      [HCM, p816}: Robert Flint was a fisherman by occupation, and owned a fishing smack [in England]. He followed this business for many yiears, and married Miss Harriet Pirney, daughter of Patrick Pirney, a Scotchman. He was a soldier, and had served in America, and had charge of a fort in England in the French wars. To Mr. and Mrs. Flint were born four children - Pirney, Mary, Robert (deceased), and George (deceased). In 1834, Mr. Flint immigrated to America and landed in New York. He left his family in that city while he went to Pottsville to earn some money, having been robbed before leaving England. Not returning as soon as expected, Mr. Flint became anxious, made inquiries, and heard that he had died of cholera. She then returned to England. In the meantime, three days after Mrs. Flint had started back to England, Mr. Flint returned to New York and found his family gone. He then went to Canada, settled in Byron, and later sent to England for his family, the coming on in 1836. Mr. Flint, not being successful in business, left Byron and purchased sixty-three acres of land where his son Pirney now lives, 1st Concession, Lot 42. Mr. Flint was a member of the Church of England, and was an honest, hard-working citizen. He died in 1870 at the age of 75 years.[this must be incorrect!]
