In the "History of Concord, Massachusetts," mention is made FLINT of Hon. Thomas Flint, who came from Matlock, Derbyshire, England, 1638, and settled in the plantation in that town ; and from the same authority we learn that this Thomas Flint was possessed of "wealth, tal- ents and a christian character," that he brought with him from England four thousand pounds sterling. "which was liberally parted with for the benefit of the colony." His first wife was an English gentlewoman who accompanied her husband and their three sons to America, and she died here. He afterward married a daugh- ter of President Oakes, of Harvard College, and by her had sons John and Ephraim, both of whom lived in Concord with him. Thomas Flint died October 8, 1653, and his will, made 1651. just before he sailed to England, was the first will on file in the Middlesex probate records. It is asserted by some early chron- iclers of Flint genealogy that the three sons coming from England with Thomas were Ed- ward, Thomas and William, but the investiga- tions of more recent genealogists and historians of the family have led them to a different conclusion. William, Thomas and Edward Flint were brothers. The first mention we have of them appears in the Essex county pro- bate records in 1652, although there is evidence to show that they had a mother living in Salem as early as 1642.


(I) Thomas Flint, progenitor of the branch of the family treated in these annals, settled in that part of the old town of Salem which now is Peabody. He bought two hundred acres of land about six miles from Salem court house, near Phelp's mill and brook. The title deed to a part of this land was witnessed in 1662 by Giles Corey, who in 1692, when eighty-one years of age, was pressed to death at Salem during the witchcraft madness be- cause he would not plead to the charge. And his house stood on the land that after his death became a part of the Flint homestead. Thomas Flint died in 1663. He married Ann

who after his death married a Suthrick, and her will is on file in the Essex probate records. (II) Captain Thomas Flint, son of Thomas and Ann, lived on the homestead. He was in King Philip's war and was wounded in the swamp fight. Subsequently he became a large land holder, having purchased between 1664 and 1702 more than nine hundred acres of land. He was a man in whom his neighbors had confidence, and was employed to build the first meeting house in Salem village. He married, September 15, 1674. Mary, daughter of William Dounton. He lived on the home- stead of his father and died there May 24. 1721, aged seventy-six years.


(III) Jonathan Flint, fifth son of the sec- ond Thomas, born November 8, 1689, was a farmer, and lived on a farm given him by his father in 1720. He married February 18, 1723. Mary Hart, daughter of Adam Hart; two children.


(IV) Jonathan Flint, son of Jonathan and Mary ( Hart) Flint, born AAugust II, 1730, succeeded his father in the possession of the homestead. He married Lydia Proctor.


(V) John Flint, third son of Jonathan and Mary (Proctor ) Flint, born in North Read- ing. Massachusetts, April 3, 1761, died there August 26, 1836. He married, second, Phebe, daughter of Sergeant George and Hannah (Phelps) Flint. They had eight children, of whom Olive was the seventh. Phebe Flint died in December, 1846, in Lynn, where she had gone to visit her daughter, Mrs. Mehitable Mansfield, wife of John Mansfield, of Lynn. (H) Sergeant George Flint, second son of Thomas (1), was born January 6, 1652. He went to Reading before 1682, and settled on land he acquired from his father, and was the first of that name in the town. He was a farmer, and resided in the north precinct of that part of Reading which now constitutes the village of North Reading. His house stood on a gentle eminence commanding a fine view of the river and adjacent meadows, which to the carly settlers was the chief attraction of the town. Tradition says that his was the first framed house built in the precinct and that it was used as a garrison house while there were hostile Indians in the vicinity. Another circumstance said to have been connected with this family and which was frequently related by its older members is, that on one pleasant Sabbath day all the family were ab- sent at church but two of the daughters of Sergeant Flint, who were left at home in charge of the house. One of the daughters


took a pistol and aiming it at the other said : "suppose you were an Indian, how easily I could shoot you." At that moment the pistol went off and lodged its contents in the shoulder of her sister, crippling her for life. Her father in his will mentions her as his "unfortu- nate daughter Mary," and makes suitable pro- vision for her proper maintenance. Her grand- father, Nathaniel Putnam, gave her a double portion, "because she hath a lame arm." The old garrison house was taken down several years ago and one of modern construction has been erected in its place.


Sergeant George Flint was one of the select- men of the town several years, a member of the Salem village church, and quite active in religious matters, as appears by the interest he took in the organization of the north parish church. He presided as moderator of the first meeting of the parish, and ever after as long as he lived took a leading part in the manage- ment of its affairs. He gave the parish one acre of land on which the first meeting house was built. The first minister of the precinct church, Rev. Daniel Putnam, was his nephew. He died June 23, 1720, aged sixty-eight years. He married first, Elizabeth, daughter of Na- thaniel and Elizabeth ( Hutchinson) Putnam, born August 11, 1662, died March 6, 1697. He married second, March 2, 1699, Mrs. Susanna Gardner, by whom he had no children. She died in March, 1720. He had ten children, of whom George, born April 1, 1686, was the sec- ond. He was a farmer and lived in North Reading, on land which he inherited and which is situated in the western part of the town in a locality familiarly known as Pudding Point. He married, July 9, 1713, Jerusha, daughter of Joseph and Bethsua (Folger ) Pope, born in Salem April 1, 1695, died June 29, 1781. They had seven children, of whom George, born November 16, 1728, was the fifth. He died August 31, 1808. He was a farmer, and lived in North Reading. He married November 13, 1753, Hannah Phelps, of Andover, Massa- chusetts, born April 27. 1728, died May 5, 1805. They had seven children, of whom Phebe, born March 8, 1763, was the fourth. She married John Flint, third son of Jonathan, born in Reading April 3, 1761, died August 26, 1836. He was a farmer, and lived in North Reading on the homestead. This was his sec- ond marriage. His first wife was Mchitable McIntire, who died October 28, 1790, aged twenty-three years. By her he had two chil- dren, Sally and John. By his marriage with Phebe Flint, who died in December, 1846,

April 12, 1828, died at his home, 55 Atlantic street, Lynn, Massachusetts, November 20, 1904. Among his immigrant ancestors Mr. Johnson counted sixteen of the early settlers of Lynn and vicinity, and was related to many of the most prominent families of Essex coun- ty. He was educated at private schools and at the Lynn Academy. He entered upon his business career as clerk in the dry goods store of Jewett & Tibbetts, Milk street. Boston, and there gained much valuable business experi- ence. In 1849 he became a partner of his father, Otis Johnson, in the wholesale boot and shoe business in Savannah, Georgia. In 1859 he engaged in the wholesale sole leather business on Pearl street, Boston, and continued with much success until the great fire of 1872, when his store was burned. He removed his business to Lynn until the business section of Boston was rebuilt, and afterward established himself at the corner of High and Congress streets, Boston. In 1886 he closed his Boston place of business and made his headquarters at Lynn, continuing there until his death. He admitted to partnership his son, Otis Stafford Johnson, and William Johnson of Lynn, the firm name being Enoch S. Johnson & Company. This firm did a large and prosperous business, and Mr. Johnson continued active in business to the time of his death, a period of fifty-five years. He was a man of the strictest integrity and uprightness, possessing the fullest confi- dence and esteem of his associates and rivals in business, and through all the vicissitudes of war, conflagrations and financial panics, he paid every obligation and preserved his credit and financial standing. Modest, retiring and domestic in his nature, he never sought pub- licity. He was genial and kindly in manner and made many friends. He was faithful and conscientious to a marked degree in the per- formance of every duty. One who knew him for years said at the time of his death: "I feel that I am a better man than I would have been had I not known him and been permitted to see his life of sacrifice, his unfailing gener- osity and his unwavering faith." He had a keen sense of humor and had at his command a fund of ancedotes to give point to his re- marks. He was fond of antiquarian and genea- logical research, and collected much historical data long before the study became so general. He became a life member of the New Eng- land Historic Genealogical Society in 1889. He was a member of the Society of Colonial Wars in the right of several ancestors who were officers in the wars against the French and In-


dians. Lieutenant Samuel Johnson ( 1640- 1723) of Lynn, was cornet of the Lynn Troop in 1692, lieutenant 1695, and was also in Cap- tain Daniel Henchman's company in King Philip's war. Mr. Johnson was fifth in line of descent from Ensign Joseph Newhall, also fourth from Captain Benjamin Newhall : ( see Newhall family) ; also seventh from George Fowle, sixth from Lieutenant James Fowle, and fifth from Captain James Fowle. (See Fowle family) ; also sixth from Joseph Rich- ardson. Mr. Johnson was also a member of the Lynn Historical Society. He was a dili- gent reader, fond of books, a close and care- ful student of English history, with a remark- able memory for dates and facts of historical interest. In religious views he was positive and clear. When a young man he attended the Independent Presbyterian Church in Sa- vannah. He became a member of the First Congregational Church of Lynn, under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Parsons Cooke. Later he became a staunch and loyal churchman, a member for nearly forty years of the parish of St. Stephen, Lynn, and his last public act was attending the morning service, Sunday, November 20. He died twenty minutes after returning from church. In politics Mr. John- son was a conservative Republican, but never sought or held public office. He was a direc- tor of the City National Bank of Lynn for many years.
