David Flynn (died 17 August 1770)[1] was an Irish Dominican priest. He was reputed to be a descendant of the Ó Floinn family from the border area between County Roscommon and County Galway in Ireland.[1]
David Flynn (Ó Floinn) was born in County Galway and educated in Paris, graduating from the Sorbonne.[1] In time, he was appointed as chaplain to James Francis Edward Stuart at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. He died there, and was buried in the crypt of the parish church, in 1770.[1] His funeral was attended by two of his nephews, Dr. Charles Ó Floinn and Father Jean Evrines.[1]
