William Flyn, 60, a "reduced farmer" of Mallow, Co. Cork, came out from Cove of Cork on the Brunswick in May 1825 with John, 24, Daniel, 20, Mary, 16, Johanna, 13, and Nancy, 11, among the Peter Robinson settlers (source). On 24 November 1825 he was located on the north half of lot 11, concession 10, Emily Township, beside John on the south half and near Daniel on concession 9 (source). He died in Emily about a year after he arrived: 12 September 1826 on the Robinson list, 12 October in the Ancestry tree. In January 1846 John Flynn of Emily took over his half-lot through the Heir and Devisee Commission, and the Crown grant issued in William's name that August. That John, husband of Ann Murray, is very probably his son (The Flynns of Emily Township: research report (October 2026)).

His birth year, 1765, fits his age on the list. His mother, "Marga Driscol," is as the Ancestry tree has her.
