Eliphalet, b. CT 1861 or 1862 s/o John ?
I am looking for confirmation of a possible connection that I found on the LDS site for my gggg-grandfather, Eliphalet Flint, who married Julia, and was one of the first settlers of Mansfield, in Richland County OH.The 1850 Census showed that he and his wife were both born in Connecticut.The cemetery listing for them showed that he died March 16, 1860 and was 77 years, 9 months, and 10 days old.This would make his birth date June 6, 1782.On the LDS site, I found an Eliphalet Flint, with the same birth date, on 1781, born in Bolton, Tolland, CT, the son of John Flint and Mary Phelps.This John was a son of Joshua Flint and Sarah Carver, and Joshua was a son of Joshua Flint and Deborah Englalls, who also had a son named Eliphalet.This is such an unusual name, that I am hoping someone can recognize it and tell me if I am on the right track.
