NOTES: In the book by Elizabeth M. Leach Rixford, Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service published by the Tuttle Company, Vermont, 1934: FLINT ANCESTRY-"DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS FLINT OF SALEM" BY JOHN FLINT AND JOHN H. STONE, 1860, page 107: "SERGEANT GEORGE FLINT, 2nd son of Thomas (1), born Jan. 6, 1652. He went to Reading before the year 1682, and settled on land he acquired by inheritance from his father and was the first of the name in that town. He was a farmer and resided in the North Precinct, in that part which now constitutes the village of North Reading. His house stood on a gentle eminence, commanding a fine prospect of the river and the adjacent meadows, which to the early settlers was the chief attraction of the town. Tradition says that his was the first framed house built in the precinct, and that it was used as a garrison house while there were hostile Indians in the colony and that upon the doors of which were seen marks, said to have been made by the bullets of the Indians. Another circumstance connected with this family, and which was frequently related by the older portion of it, is, that on a pleasant Sabbath all the family were absent at church but two of the daughters of Sergeant Flint, who were left at home in charge of the house. During the absence, one of the daughters took a pistol, and, aiming it at the other, said: "Suppose you were an Indian, how easily I could shoot you!" At that moment the pistol went off, and lodged its contents in the shoulder of her sister, which crippled her for life. Her father in his will mentions his "unfortunate daughter Mary," and makes suitable provision for her proper maintenance. Her grandfather, Nathaniel Putnam, gives her a double portion, "because she hath a lame arm." The old garrison house was taken down several years since, and one of modern construction erected in its place. He was one of the Selectmen of the town for several successive years; was a member of the Salem Village church, and was quite active in religious matters, as appears by the interest he took in the organization of the North Parish and church. He presided as Moderator of the first meeting of the parish and ever after, as long as he lived, took a leading part in the management of its affairs. He gave the parish one acre of land, on which the first meeting-house was built. The first minister of the precinct church, Rev. Daniel Putnam, was his nephew. He died June 23, 1720, aged 68. Married Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Hutchinson) Putnam, who was born Aug. 11, 1662, and died March 6, 1697. Married (second) March 2, 1699, Mrs. Susannah Gardner, by whom he had no issue. She died March, 1720. 
Had ten children, by first wife.
