"George, second son of Thomas and Ann Flint, was born 1652, in that part of Salem now Danvers, and died 1720, in Reading, Massachusetts. He appears on the records as Sergeant George Flint, and settled on the land in Reading before the year 1682. This was inherited from his father, and he was the first of the name in the town. He resided in the north precinct, in what is now North Reading. According to tradition his was the first framed house in the north precinct, and it was used as a garrison during the Indian wars. On one occasion, while most of the family was absent at church five miles distant, two of the daughters of Sergeant Flint remained at home. One of these took up a pistol and aimed at the other, and said. "Suppose you were an Indian, how easily I could shoot you!" The pistol at that moment was discharged, and its contents lodged in the shoulder of her sister, which made her a cripple for life. Sergeant Flint served as selectman, and was a substantial citizen. He was married (first) to Elizabeth, daughter of Nathan and Elizabeth (Hutchinson) Putnam. She died in 1697, and he married (second). Mrs. Susanna Gardner, who died in 1720. His children were : Elizabeth, George. Ann, Ebenezer. Nathaniel (died young, Mary, Mercy. Nathaniel, Hannah and John)."

[Note: Source:Perley, Sidney. History of Salem, Massachusetts, who understands old-style-dates unlike the Flint Genealogical Register, p. 2:276, reports this as 6 Mar 1652-3, but the 1st month of 1652 would be 1651-2. Without context of the original record, it is impossible to make an independent assessment, and it is assumed Perley is correct.]
