Flint family.

Waldo Flint (1794-1879), son of Austin and Elizabeth Henshaw Flint, was born in Leicester, Mass. In 1814 he graduated from Harvard College and was employed as an assistant preceptor at Leicester Academy, 1814-1815. He studied law principally with Lewis Strong in Northampton, Mass., and commenced practice in Boston in 1818, where he remained until his removal to Leicester in 1828. That same year he married Catharine Dean (1802-1869) of Charlestown, N.H. Catharine Dean was a sister of Rebekah Scott Dean Salisbury (1812-1843), first wife of Stephen Salisbury II (1798-1884) and mother of Stephen Salisbury III (1835-1905). Flint was a state representative in 1830 and 1833 and a state senator in 1835 and 1836. He then held the office of bank commissioner for one year. Afterward, he accepted a position with the Eagle Bank in Boston, eventually becoming president of the bank.
