I have been unable to find out anything about Dennis prior to his being in Plymouth Twp. in 1870. I don't know how the boys came to be with the FLYNN's, who their parents were, or if the FLYNN family was related in any way. If you recognize any of these people, or have any information regarding them, please e-mail me! I just know that the leprechauns are hiding them somewhere!
