Richard Flood was born in Ireland.
He entered Trinity College, Dublin, in 1814, earning his B.A. in 1820 and his M.A. in 1832. Shortly after graduating, he trained to become a Church of England priest. He followed Rev. Benjamin Cronyn to Canada in 1833, first settling in Perth, Upper Canada (Ontario), then in Caradoc Township where he was a missionary to the Munsee-Delaware Nation.[3][4]
He married Frances Mary Blake, daughter of Rev. Dominic Edward Blake, in 1834. They had ten children, six sons and four daughters, and lived in Delaware Village in the 1850s. [5]
