I am working on a THEORY that this Charity might have married Joseph Flint about 1737. Joseph Flint was reportedly an associate of Thomas Cresap, husband of Hannah Johnson, at the time of "Cresap's War" (PA-MD border dispute in the 1730s). Joseph Flint and Thomas Cresap both moved to Western Maryland ("Oldtown"). Joseph Flint, in his 1784 Will, left property to a Michael Cresap, who I believe was born about 1775, son of Michael Cresap and thus grandson of Hannah (Johnson) Cresap. Thus, Joseph Flint would have been leaving property to his wife's great-nephew????
Just a THEORY for now.
Charity Johnson, sister of Hannah (Johnson) Cresap, was tried in November 1730 for bearing a bastard child, and I suspect this MIGHT have been Ann. So while Ann might have been Charity (Johnson) Flint's daughter, my current working theory is that she was only a step-daughter of Joseph Flint (and thus Joseph did not leave her anything in his will, probated in 1784)
