Hypothesis
- #1
This hypothesis has been solved. In providing data from the probate file online, one paper had a Test date of 17 October 1817 (that document would be part of the other John Flint's probate). He signed his name. The John Flint who married Nancy Anderson marked with an X. The John Flint on this page marked his will with an X.
John married
- Unknown
- Nancy (Unknown) ANDERSON in Livingston County, Kentucky
- Elizabeth (HUBBARD) THOMAS-HAMILTON in Caldwell County, Kentucky.
See Kentucky marriages
- #2
Since this John Flint's youngest son Jesse lists on the 1880 census that his father was born in Ireland, I believe this John Flint is the 6 year old child that arrived in Charleston, South Carolina in 1768 with Hannah Flint 33 and Elizabeth Flint 13. The ship's passengers were poor Irish Protestants who sailed from Londonderry.
- #3
I believe John's daughter Margaret is the Margaret FLINT who married John SEEBOLT 7 November 1822 in Gallatin County, Illinois. The Margaret (FLINT) SEEBOLT in Gallatin County, Illinois IS the great-grandmother of Lawrence Winchester Wetherby who served as the Governor of Kentucky 1950-1955. The one argument historians may have is that Margaret may be related to Samuel FLINT, who was born 14 September 1791 in Amherst, Hillsborouth County, New Hampshire; served in the War of 1812 from Oneida County, New York; was married 3 February 1820 to Rebecca HALL in Gallatin County, Illinois; lived in Greene, Washington and Franklin Counties, Illinois and died 24 August 1849 in Franklin County. Samuel's descendant who has researched his family lists Samuel as two years old when his mother moved to live with/near her brother in New York.

Proof of my hypothesis

One possible clue-Notley Gore is listed as a witness to the Will and in the settlement papers of John Flint's probate. Notley married Mary FLINT in South Carolina.
