Genealogical History of the Town of Reading, Massachusetts, Boston: Alfred Mudge & Son, Printers, 1874. pp.75-76
Col. Daniel Flint, son of James and Rebecca, b. 1761; lived in the North Precinct; m. 1783, Priscilla, dau. of William and Priscilla Sawyer. Col. Flint was a farmer; "possessed, in an uncommon degree, a strong and vigorous intellect, with indomitable perseverance and great native force of character. With very limited advantages of acquiring an education in youth, he nevertheless, by diligent self-culture, overcame this defeciency, so that he not only managed his own affairs with system and accuracy, but in the various offices of justice of the peace, selectman, etc., faithfully and acceptably transacted a large and intricate amount of public business, oftentimes requiring legal forms and knowledge. He represented his native town several years in the State Legislature, participated freely in the debates, and guarded well the interests of his constituents. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1820, where he was active, vigilant, and energetic, and rendered good service by his acute and discerning intellect. In his social relations he was genial, courteous, and companionable, of an eminently pacific disposition."
