      [HCM p 81] Pirney Flint, farmer, was born in England in 1825, and is the son of Robert Flint, who was also a native of that country. ...Pirney was twelve years of age when he came with his parents to this country. He received a common school education, and learned the mason's trade, which he followed until 1855. He went to Indiana in 1845, and from there to California in 1850, coming home in 1855. He was married, about two years after he came home, to Ann Elson, the daughter of John and Mary Elson (of German descent), of London Township. To Mr. and Mrs. Flint were born these children: - Charlotte Hannah, Annie, Fannie, Mary, Eliza, Edna, Peter and Robert. After marriage, Mr. Flint settled down on the old homestead, and there he has since resided, with the exception of a short time when he was in Valparaiso, Ind., and was there engaged in mining until 1855. He then returned to his present farm. Mr. Flint takes an active interest in all laudable enterprises, and has been school trustee for a number of years. He is a Reformer in politics, and a man of liberal views on all subjects of importance. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and an honorable, upright citizen.
