    "FLINT. Thomas Flint, immigrant ancestor, came to America, tradition says, from Wales, in Great Britain. He is first mentioned in the town records of Salem in 1650, but there is reason to believe that he came to America much earlier. It is also thought that his mother was here as early as 1642. He was among the first settlers of Salem Village, now South Danvers, and his home was situated on the Salem and North Reading road, about six miles from the present court house in Salem, five miles from the town of North Reading, and near Phelp's mill and brook. He acquired his land by purchase. The first deed found on record is September 18, 1654, when he bought of John Pickeering one hundred and fifty acres of meadow and pasture land, within the bounds of Salem. John Pickering had paid John Higgenson thirteen pounds for this land three years before. He purchased on January 1, 1662, fifty acres of land from Robert Goodall, and paid twenty punds sterling. This land was in Salem, and was bounded on the south by land of Henry Phelps, on the west of Phelps's brook, and on the north and east by Goodall's land. This land has remained in the family for a period of more than two hundred years. He died April 15, 1663. He married Ann _____. Children: Thomas; Elizabeth, born April 30, 1650; George, January 6, 1652, mentioned below; John October 3, 1655; Anna, December 25, 1657; Joseph 1662."
