Catharine Dean Flint (1802-1869) was the daughter of merchant Aaron Dean (1765-1829) and Phyla Walker Dean (?-1849) of Charlestown, New Hampshire. Her older sister, Sally Walker Dean Hubbard (1795-1876) was the wife of New Hampshire governor Henry Hubbard (1784-1857).

In 1828, Catharine Dean married lawyer Waldo Flint (1794-1879), son of Austin Flint (1760-1850) and Elizabeth Henshaw Flint (1764-1827) of Leicester, Massachusetts.

He was a state representative in 1830 and 1833, and a state senator in 1835 and 1836. He then held the office of bank commissioner for one year. Afterward, he accepted a position with the Eagle Bank in Boston, eventually becoming president of the bank.
