From History of Cincinnati, Ohio with Illustrations and Biographical Sketches

  Captain Flinn was taken by the Indians up to Sandusky, and there cruelly tortured to death by burning him at the stake. His last words were: "May God have mercy on my soul". His widow was left with four children, and did not know for some years after what became of her husband. She and her children--Jacob, born March 16, 1790; William, Thomas and Elizabeth, moved to Indian Hill about the year 1800, and, in 1838, having lived to a good ripe old age, she died. Thomas died when twenty years of age. Elizabeth married Jacob Parker, and reared a large family, and her youngest son, Jacob, has a large number of descendants in Indiana. William, her eldest son, died in April, 1867, aged eighty-two years. One of his sons was Judge Jacob Flinn, of the common pleas court of Hamilton County.^[1]

Married Elizabeth James: 1810.

Jacob Flinn married ^[2] 3 September 1820 in Hamilton County, Ohio to Sarah (Muchmore) Flinn (1800-1877).^[3][4]
