Found this while doing some genealogy the other evening.
I had been notified of additional information to my tree by
Ancestry.com
This popped up when I entered Honora O'Flynn and William Logsdon.
St. Pauls' Church is located in downtown Baltimore, MD. Built in 1692, it is the church where my 6th great-grandparents, Honora O'Flynn married William Logsdon in 1723. The story surrounding Hanora is that she was bought for her steerage from Ireland on the Baltimore docks for one hogshead of tobacco. The Church is the oldest in Baltimore, built in 1692, an historic site.It is said that she was captured in Ireland and her father was King Edward O'Flynn. There were many kings in Ireland and of course they all were fighting all the time. She was called the "Captive Princess.."
Additional information I found.
The History of King Edward O' Flynn of Ireland
In the 1500-1600's, Ireland was ruled by several Kings each with his own kingdom. Each of the Irish Kings (clans) were unhappy about paying taxes to England and when the King of England changed the religion from Roman Catholic to The Church of England, Episcopalian, (the King wanted to divorce his Queen and since it wasn't allowed in the Catholic Church he changed the country's religion) several Irish Kings refused to conform. British troops were sent into Ireland to force the issue and a war began. When the British would defeat one of the Kingdoms, they would burn, kill subjects, and kidnap young women to send to America as wives for the colonist. One of these young women was a daughter of the Irish King of the O'Flynn clan, Honora Mary O'Flynn. The red haired Irish Princess, Honora O'Flynn, a vibrant young woman and pious Catholic, was kidnapped and transported to America with many other young women and became the wife of William Logsdon in 1702 at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Baltimore, Maryland. There are several texts that have the story of Honora O'Flynn as well as being listed in county records in Maryland.. History of the England / Ireland wars is well documented and young Irish women were kidnapped for America wives. There is undoubtably an untold and unknown story which can be assumed and associated with King Edward, who came to America ( in search of his beloved daughter perhaps ? ), and settled in Carroll Co., Maryland near William & Honora.However I could find no other picture than the one shown above.The Logsdon families eventually moved to Washington County Kentucky where my grandmother Mary Elizabeth Logsdon, daughter of Charles Thomas and Margaret Willett Logsdon. married my grandfather George L. Edelen. They were the parents of my mother Margaret Ellen Edelen.
