Some of the children of Arthur are believed to be: Edward Perkin Flinn; Margaret Flinn Ayers(m James Ayers); Edmund ca 1812; Perry ca 1816 ; John ca 1819; and Malinda ca 1821. Also possible sibling Mary Flinn who married John Todd in Fleming CO, KY in May 1819 Appreciate any information on this line or Flinns in the counties and periods indicated. Thanks! [email protected]
Margaret and Minerva are the real focus of this search, hampered by a fire at the Wayne CO, IL court house, which destroyed all the early records.Any and all hints, suggestions much appreciated.
