John A House: "Pioneers of Jackson County"
In 1785, a party from Wheeling took possession of an old Indian improvement of about twenty acres, above the mouth of Lee Creek, and built a blockhouse. Among these were an old man named Flinn, a widower, and Thomas and John Flinn, his sons, and a daughter who married John Barnett. Owing to the hostilities of the Indians, they moved, for greater security, to the fort at Belleville, in 1787.
This blockhouse was called Flinn’s Station, and the Flinn family were descended from this old man.
Old Billy Flinn was born about 1790, and was up in the nineties when he died. He married Polly Staats, a sister of Dave Staats, and daughter of Noah Staats. He lived at the mouth of Meat House Fork of Little Sandy.
Their children were:
William Flinn (“Cap”) married a Hostleton.
Sarah Flinn married Henry Slaven.
David Flinn married a Cox.
Kale Flinn married Baxter Howard. (R.B. Howard, near LeRoy)
Nancy Flinn married George Howard.
Jane Flinn married Newton Hicks.
Other children were Joe, George, Lafayette.
Old Johnny Flinn, a brother of Old Billy, lived on Pond Creek, at the mouth of Cabin Fork.
George Flinn once lived at the first place below John Flinn’s, on Pond Creek.
Sisters of these Flinns married Old John Boso, and his son, Charles.
