PREFACE 
 
 It has been the purpose of the compilers of this book to 
 print all obtainable facts concerning GERSHOM FLAGG (born 
 1730) of Lancaster, Mass., and his two sons, EBENEZER 
 FLAGG« and GERSHOM FLAGG«, born in 1756 and 1758 
 respectively, including as complete a genealogical record of all 
 their descendants as could be obtained, and also to publish all 
 authentic information extant, relative to their direct ancestry. 
 We have also included, in Capter VI, other descendants of John 
 Flagg of Boston, Mass. (grandfather of Gershom Flagg born 
 1730), and in Capter VII miscellaneous genealogical records of 
 the family. Each passing year adds to the value and interest of 
 such information as this book contains, and it has been largely 
 with a view of preserving our Flagg family history for our pos- 
 terity that the compilers have undertaken this task. Facts known 
 to-day may become mere tradition to-morrow, if no pains are 
 taken to protect their authenticity. 
 
 The preparation of this Record was really begun over thirty 
 years ago, by Willard Cutting Flagg^ [65] of Moro, Ills., who was 
 very desirous of perfecting the genealogy of the Flagg family, 
 and who, by correspondence and investigations extending over 
 several years, had collected, before his untimely death in 1878, 
 a large portion of the family history which is now put in a per- 
 manent form. The immediate cause of the appearance of this 
 book is a letter written 10 Apr., 1903 by Lucius C. S. Flagg^ 
 [820] to Norman Gershom Flagg" [71], reviving the correspondence 
 begun by their fathers thirty years before and asking whether 
 the genealogical facts collected by Willard C. Flagg were still 
 obtainable. 
 
 The compilers can not express too strongly their gratitude 
 to Mr. J. C. L. Clark of Lancaster, Mass., for th^ valuable aid he 
 
Family Records 
 
 has so cheerfully given thcni, in the investigation of old family 
 iiistory, court records, etc. Without Mr. Clark's co-operation, 
 some of the most interesting as well as valuable features of this 
 book must have been omitted. In July, 1903, Mr. L. C. S. Flagg 
 [820] and his wife visited the old-time homes of the Flaggs in 
 Lancaster and in Boston, in quest of information, and were very 
 maforially assisted in the work by Mr. Clark. 
 
 While the task of gathering the facts contained in these family 
 records has been arduous, it has also been an entertaining work, 
 in which happily the most of the relatives have shown a very 
 encouraging interest. By perusing the following pages, we may 
 now locate all our cousins of Flagg descent, and they are found 
 to be scattered throughout the length and breath of the land, 
 from Maine to California, from southern Texas to Minnesota. 
 The re-uniting of a father and only son who had lost all trace 
 of one another for twenty-five years (in Capter IV) has been 
 ample reward for the huge amount of correspondence required 
 in compiling that Chapter. In a few instances, where repeated 
 requests for information have brought no reply, we have been 
 compelled to print an incomplete family record. As far as pos- 
 sible, the compilers have tried to avoid the usual dryness incident 
 to any collection of mere dates and names; many photographs 
 have been inserted and short biographical sketches have been 
 prepared of many relatives. In Chapter III will be found a 
 picture of the FLAGG "Slate Rocks" in Lancaster, Mass.; in 
 Chapter IV is a facsimile of the commission of Dr. Ebenezer 
 Flagg as sergeant in the Revolutionary war. 
 
 With the exception of two chapters, this family record is 
 the joint work of the two compilers; Chapter IV, relating to Dr. 
 Ebenezer Flagg, has been prepared by his great grandson Norman 
 Gershom Flagg [71], and Chapter V, relating to Gershom Flagg, 
 lias been prepared by his great grandson Lucius Collins Strong 
 Flagg [820]. The records in Chapter \l have been largely fur- 
 nished by Mr. Ernest Flagg, Architect, 35 Wall Street, New 
 York. To their many cousins of Flagg descent, the compilers 
 would express the fervent wish that their kinship, as revealed 
 in these pages, may result in many and enduring friendships, 
 among relatives heretofore unknown to one another. 
 
Family Records 
 
 Numerous public records and various works, includin<!; a 
 History of Norfolk, [in Library of Congress, Washington, 
 and Library of the New England Historic Genealogical 
 Society, Boston], Dr. Bond's History of Watertown, Mass., 
 and North's History of Augusta, Maine, have been consulted, 
 as reliable authorities, in obtaining the history of the Flaggs. 
 
 The abbre^^ations used will explain themselves, and are uni- 
 form throughout the book. Each individual in the Chapters IV, 
 V and VI is given a number in brackets [ ], which identifies him, 
 wherever mentioned in the record. The superior number, as 
 Gershom^, indicates to which generation in America the individual 
 belongs, Thomas Flegg^ being the first. Small capitals indicate 
 the family name, after marriage, of daughters of Flagg descent. 
 Italics indicate the maiden name of the wife, before marriage 
 into a family of Flagg descent. 
 
 Realizing the imperfections of our work, but trusting that 
 our relatives will be lenient toward us in consideration of our 
 most profound inexperience along such lines, the compilers have 
 published these records, bearing in mind the while these words 
 from John G. Saxe: 
 
 "Depend upon it, my snobbish friend, 
 Your family thread you can't ascend 
 Without good reason to apprehend 
 You may find it waxed at the farther end 
 By some plebeian vocation; 
 Or, worse than that, your boasted line 
 May end in a loop of stronger twine. 
 That plagued some icorthy relation.''

 CHAPTER I 
 
 THE DE FLEGGS IN ENGLAND 
 11 GO- 1426. 
 
 The family of DE FLECJG was seated in the latter part of 
 the twelfth century in the county of Norfolk, on the east coast 
 of En<rland, and bears the name of the Hundreds of East and 
 West FlcLiK in that county, wiiere they helil tjrants of l.n-I in the 
 reipn of Henry II. 
 
 "In tiie south-eastern corner of Xoriolk there is a ilense 
 Danish settlement occupying the Hundreds of East and West 
 Flegs [fi'«i" the Norse word "flegg" or Danish "vlak/' meaninj; 
 flat]! a sjiace some eij^ht miles by seven, well protected on every 
 side by the sea anil the estuaries of the Bure and the Yare."— 
 [From "Words and Places," by Isaac Taylor. 1SS5]. 
 
 Sir Henry Spellman supposes that "the Danes made here 
 their first settlement in England, as the nearest part of Norfolk 
 to the sea, being well secured by its site, water, etc. to maintain 
 themselves therein and also from the names of towns ending in 
 "by", a Danish sutfix for an habitation or village." 
 
 The Britons and the Romans also are supposed to have had 
 settlements here at an early date. 
 
 That the family was not of Saxon origin is indicated by their 
 residence in this Danish settlement, their athliations with Nor- 
 man families so soon after the reign of William the Conqueror 
 and their connection, in official positions, with the Roman Catholic 
 Church. It is probable that they were either Danes or Norman- 
 French, and took their name from the Danish Hundreds where 
 they held grants of land, the Norman-French "de Flegg" 
 meaning ' 'of Flegg." 
 
Family Records 
 
 The two Hundreds of East and West Flegg make up the 
 Deanery of Flegg in the Archdeaconry of Norwich. How they 
 received their name is not known and little is known of them 
 till the reign of King Stephen, who, by letters patent, granted 
 these two Hundreds to Henry, his nephew, then abbot, and the 
 monks of Saint Bennett. 
 
 Flegg Hall, the seat of the family in Norfolk in feudal times, 
 is referred to in the History of Norfolk, 1805-1810 [Library of 
 the New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston], Vol. 
 XI, page 194, as follows: 
 
 "Flegg Hall: Sir John de Flegg was Lord in right of Mar- 
 garet, his wife. The Fleggs had an interest in this town [Win- 
 terton] in the reign of Henry II, when John, Bishop of Norwich, 
 and Gerard the prior and convent, granted in fee to Henry, son 
 of Algar de Flegg, eight acres and three roods of land here in 
 soccage, and ten acres in Dodsholm which Nigel formerly held 
 of them, at 4s. 4d. per annum. Witnesses, Geffry, the Arch- 
 deacon. Arthur, Roger and William de Flegg were witnesses 
 to a charter of Eberard, Bishop of Norwich." 
 
 The history of Norfolk, England, 1781 [Library of Congress, 
 Washington, D. C], Vol. IV, page 53, contains the following: 
 
 "Flegg Hall: In the reign of Richard I, Theobald de 
 Valoines granted to Henry de Flegg all the fee which he held of 
 him in Winterton and Somerton for 3s. per annum for which he 
 formerly paid 20s. sans date. 
 
 "In the reign of Henry III, Sir William de Flegg sold it to 
 the de Mautebys, and it was brought by marriage to the Pastons. 
 John Paston, Esq., died fiefed of Mauteby and Flegg Manors, in 
 the 6th of Edward IV, 1466, which extended into East and 
 West Somerton; and Sir William Paston was found to die Lord 
 of Winterton, Mauteby Manor, held of the Dean and Chapter of 
 NorT\dch in soccage in the year 1611. In the year 1740 the Earl 
 of Yarmouth [a Paston] was Lord." 
 
 The following genealogy and that in Chapter II has been 
 compiled from histories of Norfolk, records of Herald's Visita- 
 tions, and the lineage given in North's History of Augusta, Maine, 
 
 10 
 
Family Records 
 
 1870, which states that ' 'The Unease down to WilUam F\eg^, of 
 Swafield, Uvinjr in 1521, was compiled from MSS. in the British 
 Museum and Rymeri FcEdera, Inquis. Post Mortem, and Escheats. 
 The remainder chiefly from wills in the Consistory Court, Nor- 
 wich." 
 
 In the reign of Henry 11 there were iivinfi in the county of 
 Norfolk, two brothers. Algkr de Flegg and Henry de Flegg. 
 Henry was Prior of Norwich in 1168. 
 The brother, 
 
 ALGER DE FLEGG, was living in 1 I6U. 
 His son, 
 
 HENRY DE KLEGG, of Flegg Hall and Hickling in the 
 Hundred of West Flegg, county Norfolk, in 1204, is mentioned 
 in records of Herald's Visitations in the 1st year of the reign 
 of King John [1199] as holding patents to three divisions of land. 
 [Library of Congress, Washington, D. C]. 
 His .son, 
 
 JOHN DE FLE(;G, of Flegg Hall, by Beatrix, his wife, 
 had issue, three sons, 
 
 1. John [Sir], of whom presently. 
 IL Thomas, of Swafield, county Norfolk, in 1241. 
 
 ' 'Thomas Flegg and Dionisia, his wife, convey to John 
 Flegg a messuege, with lands and a foldcourse here 
 [Swafield] in the 33rd of Hemy IIL" [History of 
 Norfolk]. He, by Dionisia, his wife, had issue, three 
 sons, 
 
 1. Roger, who, in 13U7, was \'icar General of the 
 order of Friars of Penetentia Jesu, at Lynn. 
 
 2. Arthur. 
 
 3. William. 
 
 III. Simon, living in the 41st of Henry III, had son, Simon, 
 Prior of Haverland. 
 The son,

 and Bassingham Manors. This feudal lord married Margaret, 
 daughter of Sir Piers de Bassingham, Lord, of Bassingham

 Manor, who left three daughters and coheirs; Christian, the eldest, 
 married Sir Walter de Mauteby. Sir John was lord of Bassing- 
 ham Manor in right of Margaret, his wife. 
 Their heir, 
 
 SIR WILLIAM DE FLEGG, of Flegg Hall, living in the 
 53rd of Henry III, 1268, sold Flegg Manor to the de Mautebys. 
 His heir, 
 
 WILLIAM LE FLEGHT [or FLEGG] released to Walter de 
 Mauteby all his right and title in the manor of Bassingham, that 
 of West Beckham and Matalak, in the 6th of Edward I, 1277. | 
 John de Mauteby was Lord in the 9th of Edward II, 1315. 
 
 The following members of this family, whose relationship \ 
 has not been ascertained, were all of the county of Norfolk: 
 
 William de Flegg, born at Hofton, 1316. 
 
 Henry de Flegg, living in 1320. 
 
 Thomas Flegg, died 1378. 
 
 John Flegg. 
 
 William Flegg, died 1426, of whom we treat in the begin-; 
 ning of Chapter II. 
 
 From Edward Hasted's "Kent County." (extract.) 
 
 "Folkestone Hundred. Hawking Parish.' 
 
 Fleggs Court (or Hawking Manor) anciently held of the Bar- 
 ony of Folkestone or Averenches, by knights service and ward to ; 
 Dover Castle, by a family who took their surname from it. After 
 they were extinct, it came into the possession of the Fleghs, con- 
 tinuing until reign of Edward I (1272-1307) in the 23rd of which, ^ 
 William, son of John de Flegh, gave all his manor in the Hun- 
 dred of Folkestone in Hawking and Evering together with the 
 church of Hawking to the Abbot and convent of St. Radigund, 
 at which time the mansion of this manor had acquired its present 
 name of Flegh's Court."

 ARMS: Per pale, or and sable a chevron counterchanged. 
 
 Crest: Two lions' gambs in saltire sable enfiled with laurel 
 in orle, vert. [From Burke's Encyclopaedia of Heraldry]. 
 
 These arms were borne by the family in Norfolk as late as 
 1768, and are on a mural tablet in Norfolk. 
 
 The Fleggs who removed from Norfolk to Bray, in Berk- 
 shire, also bore the arms. Burke's Encyclopaedia of Heraldry 
 records these arms to "Flegg of Bray, county Berks," and also 
 records the following arms: 
 
 Flegg. Argent a chevron engrailed gu. 
 
 Fleggh. Per pale, argent and or, on a chevron. 
 
 (Another, engrailed) per pale, sable and azure a martlet 
 of the second.

 sable between three ogresses, a fleur-de-lis between two 
 conies of the first. 
 
 Flegh. Argent on a chevron engrailed sable between three 
 ogresses, each charged with a martlet or, a fleur-de-lis 
 between two conies of the first. 
 
 The "Return of Owners of Land, 1873" (commonly known 
 as the Modern Domesday Book) records two Fleggs owning land 
 in county Norfolk and three in London, in that year. Mr. William 
 Martin Flegg and his son, Mr. James Minter Flegg, of the firm of 
 Flegg and Son, SoUcitors, 3 Laurence Pountney Hill, Cannon 
 Street, London, E. C, England, are of the county Norfolk family. 
 Mr. James Minter Flegg is member for the ward of Dowgate ini 
 the London Common Council. Shipdham, Whinbergh and Yax 
 ham, parishes in Norfolk where the Fleggs resided, are situated! 
 in close proximity to the town and parish of East Dereham and 
 railway station of Dereham, 16 miles north-west of Norwich andi 
 123 miles north-east of London by rail. 
 
 A "Gazateer of the British Isles, 1893," contains the follow-

 CHAPTER III 
 
 THE FLAGG LINEAGE FROM THOMAS FLEGG' 
 
 OF WATERTOWN, MASS., 
 
 TO GERSHOM FLAGG' (BORN J 730) 
 
 OF LANCASTER, MASS. 
 
 1637-1758 
 
 The Genealo2;ical Dictionary of New England Settlers states 
 that "Thomas Flegg of Watertown (Mass.) came as servant of' 
 Richard Carver from Scratby in the hundred of East Flegg, Co. 
 Norfolk, a few miles north of Yarmouth, where they emigrated) 
 1637." 
 
 So his descendants must not claim that their ancestor came 
 over in the Mayflower, neither will they claim that he was driven 
 from England by the religious persecutions of the times. For, if 
 the family tradition is correct, a love affair brought Thomas Flegg 
 to New England. In the words of our kinsman Charles A. Flagg, 
 of the Library of Congress, Washington, "The tradition of; 
 Thomas is that he loved a girl in station below his own; their 
 union was opposed by his family, so they decided to emigrate, 
 and did so, coming in two vessels which sailed in company, and 
 marrying soon after arrival. We do not know the maiden name 
 of the wife Mary, nor date of marriage." ] 
 
 "The record in Hotten gives Thomas Flegg as servant of 
 Richard Carver. That he was not a servant in the usual meaning 
 of the word is sufficiently attested by his appearing in Watertown 
 very soon after as a landowner, and later serving as Selectmanj^ 
 This was a post of real honor in the early days, and the social' 
 distinctions were carefully observed. A more careful investiga-' 
 tion than I have ever found time to make would probably show- 
 that Flegg's relation to Carver was for the voyage only, and wag 
 
 18 
 
Family Records 
 
 necessitiited by some English law requirinji; that unmarried men 
 below a certain age could not leave the country unless in the 
 train of some man of family." 
 
 j "At all events. I am told by those who have examinetl the 
 
 Watertown records that Thomas wa.s not a very good Puritan, 
 that he fell under church discipline more than once, so whatever 
 
 I the cause of his emi<«;ratinfj;, it evidently was not for conscience's 
 
 ' sake. ' ' 
 
 We find further in Dr. Bond's History of Watertown, Mass., 
 p. 219, that "ThomiLs Flcf^g settled in Watertown as early as 
 1641, and was probai)ly the ancestor of all families bearing that 
 name in this country, llr was Selectman 1671. 74, 75. 76, 78, 
 ^sl. 'S.'), and ST. He lost his left eye by a gunshot accident, 
 .] previous to 1659." 
 
 Thomas Flegg was a .son of Bartholomew Flegg, as mentioned 
 
 ;lin the previous chapter, and was i)apti.sed in 1615. Leaving 
 
 t Scratby, Englaml in l(>;i7. he sailed in either the "ROSE" or the 
 
 "JOIIX and DORorilV" — the two ships .sailing in company.

 Whether this "Marable Underwood" is the "Mary", who 
 married Thomas Fle^s soon after his arrival in Massachusetts 
 is a matter of conjecture; for Thomas' sweetheart may have crossed 
 the ocean in the other ship, or may not have been in Carver's 
 family, if on the same vessel. Dr. Bond's History of Watertown 
 states that Mary, wife of Thomas Fle^g was born 1619, which 
 would make her two years younger than "Marable" was said 
 to be. 
 
 As to the location of Thomas Flegg's real estate holdina;s in 
 Massachusetts, we find in Dr. Bond's History of Watertown:— 
 "Thomas Flagg (Flegg) of Watertown, as early as 1641; died 
 1698; proprietor of two lots in 1644, one of which was the great 
 Dividend lot of 20 acres granted to John Rose; the other, a 
 homestall of 6 acres, bounded S. by Main St., W. by E. How, 
 N. by J. Bemis, E. by R. Harrington." And on page 1092:— 
 ' ' The next west of Harrington was the 6 acre homestall of Thomas 
 Flagg (Flegg), and it was probably his permanent residence. 
 He was not the original grantee of it, nor do the records show to 
 w'hom it was granted. ' ' A map of the original allotments of land 
 in Watertown is included in the History above quoted, and 
 shows that Thomas Flegg's homestall of six acres was in the 
 extreme south-west part of Watertown, one-half mile north of 
 the Charles river and almost adjoining the tovv-n of Waltham, 
 being on the "Sudbury road", now Main St. 
 
 Thomas Flegg was never admitted "freeman", but was 
 "released from training Apr., 165-, by paying the Co. 5s. per 
 annum, and was fully released therefrom by the Covn-t 5 Apr., 
 1681, when his eldest son was 40 yrs. old." He died 6 Feb., 169S. 
 and was probably buried in ' ' The Old Graveyard of Watertown, ' ' 
 situated at the S. E. corner of Mt. Auburn St., and Grove St., 
 that being the only cemetery in the vicinity of Watertown until 
 1704 (see Hist, of Watertown, p. 1043). 
 
 The will of Thomas Flegg, dated 5 Mar., 1697 and proved 
 16 Feb., 1698, mentions only a part of his children, namely, the 
 sons Thomas, Michael, Allen, and Benjamin, and the daughter 
 Rebecca Cook (the eldest son Gershom was already dead). The 
 
 20 
 
Family Records 
 
 will of his wife Mary, dated 30 Dec, 1702 (the year preceding her 
 death), mentions only the son Benjamin and the daughters Mary 
 Bigelow, Elizabeth Bigelow, and Rebecca Cook, tSamuel Bigelots 
 being executor. 
 
 Eleven children were born to Thomas and Mary Flegg, the 
 eldest being GERSHOM, with whose descendants this Record 
 is particularly concerned. 
 
 (See Chapter VII for complete list of Thomas Flegg's children 
 and for explanation of change of spelling the name, Flegg — 
 Flagg.) 
 
 THE SECOND GENERATION IN AMERICA. 
 
 LIEUT. GERSHOM ILAGG-'. 
 
 The eldest son of Thomas Flegg was GERSHOM FLAGG, 
 born in Watertown, Mass., 16 April. 1641. He settled in Woburn. 
 Mass., and there married 15 April, 166S, Hannah Lepjx'ngicrll. 
 who was born 6 Jan.. 1647-S in Woburn, the daughter of Mitchell 
 Leppingwell. To this luiion ten children were born, of whom 
 the third child .lOHN FL.VGG is the ancestor of the families in- 
 cluded within this Record. 
 
 Lieut. Gershom Flagg was admitted freeman in Watertown 
 27 May, 1676, and, according to North's History of Augusta, 
 Maine, he was slain by Indians at Lamprey River, N. H., 6 July, 
 1690, — presumably while on an expedition against Port Royal, 
 Acadia, in French territory. His widow married 10 Dec, 1696 
 Ensign Israel W^alker, whose first wife had died 9 Mar., 1694. 
 
 (See Chapter VII for complete list of Gershom Flagg's children.) 
 
 THE THIRD GENER.VTION IN AMERICA. 
 
 JOHN FLAGGY 
 
 Of Lieut. Gershom Flagg's ten children, the third child and 
 third son was JOHN, who was born 25 May, 1673, probably in 
 Woburn, Mass.; he moved to Boston about 1700, and died there 
 about 1732, his will being proved 19 Dec. of that year. He married 
 previous to 1700 Abiah Kornic, a native of England. He and his 
 
 21 
 
Family Records 
 
 wife sold land in Woburn in 1699, and in 1717 he purchased an 
 estate on Hanover Street in Boston, of Samuel Vickers, where the 
 American House now stands (1906). According to Dr. Bond's 
 Watertown, John Flagg was a tanner. 
 
 ' ' By his will he gave his negro boy Pompey to his son Eben- 
 ezer forever, and his house and land on Hanover Street to his son 
 Gershom, upon his paying the other heirs their respective portion 
 of its appraised value. His wife died 3 Sept., 1715, and was buried 
 in the Granary burying ground, Tremont Street, Boston, where 
 a stone wdth an inscription marks her grave. Four of her children 
 were buried by the side of her grave." (North's Augusta.) 
 
 Lucius C. S. Flagg visited the grave of Abiah Flagg in 1904, 
 and found it situated about midway between the tomb of John 
 Hancock and that of Benjamin Franklin's parents, in what is now 
 called the ' ' Old Granary Burying-ground. ' ' On her tombstone 
 is inscribed: — "Here lyes ye body of Abiah Flagg, wife to John 
 Flagg, d. Sept. 3, 1715." And on the headstones of four of the 
 children appear the following:— "Mr. Gershom Flagg, died March 
 23, 1771, aged 66." ''Hannah Flagg, died Dec. 12, 1702, aged 1 yr. 
 8 mos." "Ebenezer Flagg, died Aug. 27, 1708, aged 4 yrs." 
 "Thomas Flagg, died Sept., 1713, aged 1 yr." 
 
 Regarding the bequests in John Flagg's will, Benjamin A. G. 
 Fuller, himself a Flagg by descent (see Chapter VII), made the 
 following comments before the New England Genealogical Society 
 in 1872: — "This (the negro) was Ebenezer's sole inheritance, yet, 
 with Pompey alone, he seems to have made some headway in 
 the world, as he afterwards married Mary, the daughter of Gov. 
 Samuel Ward, of R. I., and his oldest son (Henry Collins) married 
 the widow of Washington Allston's father. Whether his father's 
 bequest of the boy Pompey "forever" still holds good, I am 
 unable to state. Gershom was the executor of his father's will, 
 and came into possession and ownership of the homestead, which 
 was situate upon the spot now occupied by the American House, 
 on Hanover St."

Family Records 
 
 John and Abiah Flapg were the parents of nine children, 
 whose names are given in Chapter VII. Their third child was 
 ELEAZER FLAGG, who we shall see later on was the grand- 
 father of the two soldier boys of 76, Ebenezer and Gershora. 
 Their seventh child was the Ebenezer Fhigg above mentioned as 
 the owner of "Pompey", and this PZbenezer Flagg, of Boston, 
 had a grandson Henry Collins Flagg. Jr., of Newport, R. I., 
 whose granddaughter Alice Gwynne married Cornelius Vanderbilt 
 and is the mother of Cornelius and Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt. 
 
 (See Chapters VI and VII for full record.) 
 
 THE FOURTH GENER.\TION IN .AMERICA. 
 
 ELEAZER FLAGG*. 
 
 Of ELEAZER FLAGG* little is known; he was born in Boston 
 12 Feb., 1703, and was at one time an inn-keeper there. In a 
 deed of date 1740, we find Eleazer Flagg mentioned as a "Retail- 
 or" of Boston. 
 
 He purchased from Daniel Johnson and other heirs of Samuel 
 Johnson deceased of Lancaster, 24 Nov., 1740, the famous slate- 
 quarry property, situated four miles N. E. of Lancaster Center, 
 in the extreme north end of the town, not far from the Shirley 
 line. In the words of Rev. Peter Whitney in his History of 
 Worcester Co.. published in 1793, "this slate pit is fine and 
 valuable and perhaps inexhaustible, furnishing slate and tiles 
 for the roofs of houses, and most excellent stones for graves. 
 This was first discovered by a Mr. Flagg. The slates have been in 
 use about forty years. The quarry is now (1793) owned by 
 Joseph Wales. No slates equal to these have yet been discovered 
 on the Continent. ' ' A. P. Mar\'in says of the slate-quarry (1878) : 
 — It w-as sometimes called the Shaker quarry, perhaps because the 
 Shakers (of the community of Shirley) w-ere employed to take 
 the slate to Boston with great ox-teams. Facilities of transpor- 
 tation enabled other quarrymen to undersell the owners, and the 
 work ceased more than fifty years ago. The mine filled with 
 "water and so remained till 1877, when a Welshman re-opened it, 
 and found it to be one of the best slate-quarries in the world." 
 
 23 
 
Family Records 
 
 To these notes Mr. J. C. L. Clark, Town clerk of Lancaster (1904) 
 adds:— "The Welshman's experiment must have been unsuccess- i 
 ful, for some fifteen years ago, when I \isited the quarry, it was 
 deserted and full of water, just as Willard describes it in 1826." 
 By courtesy of Mr. Clark a recent photograph of this slate-quarry 
 is placed in this Record. Partly as a matter of curiosity on ac- 
 count of the quaint wording of the instrument, one of the five 
 or six deeds (all of equal length), by which Eleazer Flagg became 
 owner of the quarry, is here copied:

Family Records 
 
 As there has been some discussion among the Flagg des- 
 cendants as to which of the Flaggs owned this "slate-rocks", 
 Mr. Clark has examined all records very carefully. While 
 GERSHOM FLAGG^ of Lancaster, with whom this Record especi- 
 ally deals, never was owner of the property, his father certainly 
 was, of which the foregoing deeds are sufficient evidence. At the 
 death of Eleazer Flagg in 1749, to avoid a forced sale of the 
 Lancaster property, the Court settled this ' ' slate-rocks ' ' together 
 with other real estate upon Eleazer 's daughter Mary, wife of 
 Garven (Gawen) Brown. Upon Mary's death soon after, Eleazer's 
 brother Gershom Flagg (b. 1705) purchased the Lancaster real 
 estate from G. Brown, and he in turn bequeathed it to his son 
 Gershom (b. 1743), who moved from Lancaster to Clinton, Maine, 
 in 1789, selling the quarry to Joseph Wales. 
 
 The poetess, Hannah Flagg Gould, a grand-daughter of 
 Gershom Flagg (b. 1705), mentions the slate-rocks in her prose 
 volume * ' Gathered Leaves. ' ' 
 
 Eleazer Flagg married Mary Buck, of Scituate, presumably 
 in the spring of 1724, for their intentions of marriage were declared 
 17 Feb., 1724 (From Boston Marriages from 1700 to 1751). He 
 probably passed his entire life in Boston, and his son William 
 lived in the Boston home after his father's death in 1749; the son 
 GERSHO^P [1] lived on the Lancaster farm, as is shown by 
 memoranda of the estate. At Eleazer Flagg's death, his brother 
 Gershom (b. 1705) administered the estate, according to the 
 Suffolk Co. Mass. Registry of Probate, case 9832:— " 15 Oct., 1749, 
 Gershom Flagg, of Boston, housewright and glazier, appointed 
 administrator of the estate of his brother, Eleazer Flagg, late of 
 Boston, innholder. Bondsmen, Joseph Callender and Joseph 
 Callender, Jr., bakers." 
 
 A complete list of the real and personal property of Eleazer 
 Flagg has been furnished, through the kindness of Mr. J. C. L. 
 Clark, of Lancaster, and is as follows:

 While Lancaster was, at one time, the home of a number of 
 Flagg families, there is now (1906) no one of that name living 
 there; two children of the above named Josiah Flagg (b. 1760), 
 being grandchildren of Eleazer's son William (b. 1732,) namely, 
 Sally Flagg (b. 19 Nov., 1791) and Samuel Ward Flagg (b. 22 
 Apr., 1803) were the last Flaggs to live in Lancaster. In Feb., 
 1853, Willard Flagg Bliss [316] visited them in South Lancaster, 
 and obtained much valuable genealogical history from them, 
 which has been of assistance in compiling this book. Samuel 
 Ward Flagg died in 1871 and Sally Flagg died in 1881, aged 90 
 years, the last of the Lancaster Flaggs. , 
 
 THE FIFTH GENERATION IN AMERICA. 
 
 GERSHOM FLAGG^ OF LANCASTER. 
 
 [1] GERSHOM FLAGG^ third child and second son of 
 Eleazer and Mary (Buck) Flagg, was born 10 June, 1730, pre- 
 sumably in Boston, for his parents lived in that city many years j 
 prior and subsequent to that date. He was a house wright and * 
 a slater by trade, and moved to Lancaster, Mass., before attaining , 
 his majority. Why Gershom Flagg left Boston to make his home - 
 in Lancaster, we can only surmise, but at least two reasons seem ] 
 evident. First, his father Eleazer Flagg had, in 1740, purchased 
 the "Slate-Rocks!' situated four miles from Lancaster Center: and 
 a second and more sentimental reason is suggested by the follow- 
 ing record, copied from the Lancaster Register of births, deaths 
 and marriages: 
 
 30 
 
Family Records 
 
 "Gershom Flagp; entered his intentions of marriage with 
 Mary Willard, Nov. ye 14, 1750." [Lancaster Register.] 
 
 They were married ''Dec. ye 6, 1750, by Jos. Wilder, Junn." 
 Mary Willard was the daughter of Aaron and Mary Willard, of 
 Lancaster, and was born 21 Jan., 1729. 
 
 In a letter dated Lee, N. H., 13 Feb., 1853, after a \dsit to 
 Lancaster, Willard Flagg Bliss [316] wrote as follows concerning 
 the old homestead of his greatgrandfather Gershom Flagg [1]: 
 "I was shown where the barn stood, where the tree stood which 
 bore such great plums and the apple trees still bearing from 
 which our ancestors ate. Our greatgrandfather is described as 
 'a spare light-complected man straight as a candle and a great 
 hand for business.' I drank from the old well which is said to be 
 sunk several feet into the solid rock; it is said in summer to be 
 the best water in Massachusetts. I have a piece of the slate 
 which came from the roof of the old house and which our great- 
 grandfather probably made with his own hands." 
 
 While slating the house of Dr. Gardner, of Boston— according 
 to the family tradition this house was situated l)etween Boston 
 and Lancaster— Gershom Flagg fell and was killed. He is said 
 to have worn a cape-coat, while on the roof on a windy day, and 
 was blown off, striking upon his feet, but lived only long enough 
 for his wife to reach him. He died 28 Dec, 1758, aged twenty- 
 eight years. 
 
 The widow Mary (Willard) Flagg was admitted administra- 
 trix of the estate of "Gershom Flagg. late of Lancaster, house- 
 wright, deceased," on the fifth of Feb.. 1759, her bondsmen being 
 Simon Willard and Nathaniel Willard, yeomen. S Feb.. appraisers 
 were appointed, and 28 May, their inventory was filed. Through 
 the kindness of J. C. L. Clark, Town Clerk of Lancaster (1906), 
 it is possible to give below a very quaint and interesting copy, 
 verbatim, of the inventory of Gershom Flagg's personal estate: — 
 (Worcester Co. Probate Records, series A, case 21214).

 The administratrix's account was accepted 7 Aug., 1761. 
 
 Gershom Flagg's widow married again 17 Sept., 1761 to 
 William Phelps, and lived in Lancaster until her death 22 Sept., 
 1807 (according to letter of that date written by her nephew 
 Josiah Flagg to her son Ebenezer Flagg, — letter in possession of 
 Mrs. Mary Willard Flagg-Gillham, Wanda, Ills., 1906). There 
 can be little doubt that both Gershom Flagg and his wife were 
 buried in a Lancaster cemetery, but no stones can be found to 
 mark the location of their graves. 
 
 The children of Gershom and Mary (Willard) Flagg were: 
 I. Mary, born 27 April, 1753; she married John Baker- 
 and had three children:— John K., Thomas, and Charles. John 
 
 32 
 
Family Records 
 
 K. Baker was a printer in Burlington, Vermont, in 1800, and 
 published the "Northern Sentinel" in 1801; he subsequently 
 moved to Plattsburg, N. Y., where he was proprietor of a hotel. 
 Azariah C. Flagg [4] was a printer's apprentice under him from 
 1801 to 1806. 
 
 II. EBENEZER FLAGG, born 7 April, 1756 [2] (see 
 
 Chapter IV.) 
 
 III. GERSHOM FLAGG, born 11 April, 1758 [601] (see 
 Chapter V.) 
 
 When Gershom Flagg" of Lancaster [1] died, 28 Dec, 1758, 
 from a fall while slating a roof, he left a widow Mary (Willard) 
 Flags and three young children,— the daughter Mar>'« aged five 
 years, the son EBENEZER" [2] aged two and one-half years, 
 and the infant son GERSHOM" [601] eight months old. 
 
 Aaron Willard, brother of Mary (Willard) Flagg, was, at her 
 request, appointed guardian of the children. Mary, Ebenezer, and 
 Gershom, as is shown by the following petition: 
 
 "to John Chandler Esqr. Judge Pro for Worcester County, 
 I desire my Bro Capt Aaron Willard may he appointed Guardian 
 to my three Children by late husband Gershom Flagg late of Lan- 
 caster, houseicright Deed. 
 
 (dated) March 17, 1759 (signed) 
 
 Subsequently, 9 Jan., 1771, Abel Willard of Lancaster was 
 appointed guardian of Mary and Ebenezer, and 31 March, 1773, 
 of Gershom also.

 CHAPTER IV 
 
 EBENEZER FLAGG (born 1756) AND HIS DESCEND- 
 ANTS, COMPLETE TO J906. 
 
 It is probable that Ebenezer Flago; spent his entire youth 
 in Lancaster, Mass. No further record of him is obtainable until 
 1775, when he enlisted in the Continental Army. Inasmuch as 
 the Mass. War Records and the Government Records in Wash- 
 ington differ slightly in describing Ebenezer Flagg's service during 
 the Revolution, both records are here given complete: 
 
 (From Vol. V, page 749, Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of Revo- 
 lutionary War, published by Secretary of the Commonwealth, 
 Boston.) 
 
 "FLAGG, EBENEZER, Lancaster (also given Harvard)—

 From the office of the Military Secretary. War Dept., Wash- 
 ington, D. C, is obtained the following record of Ebenezer Flagg: 
 
 EBENEZER FLAGG served as a sergeant of Captain Benja- 
 min Frothingham's Company ( of which John Bryant was cap- 
 tain-lieutenant), 3rd Artillery Regiment, Continental Troops, 
 commanded by Colonel John Crane, Revolutionary war. He 
 was enlisted January 1, 1777, for three years, and his name ap- 
 pears on a muster roll of the company dated at Springfield. May 
 2, 1778, which shows him "sick in hospital"; also that he served 
 as a sergeant of the 10th Massachusetts Regiment, commanded 
 by Colonel Thomas Marshall, Revolutionary war. He was en- 
 listed July 13, 1780, for the term of six months, and was discharged 
 December 10, 1780. 
 
 In August, 1851, Ebenezer Flagg's eldest son Artemas [3] 
 presented his nephew Willard C. Flagg [65] with a revolutionary 
 relic, in the shape of an order, dated Springfield, Oct. 17, 1777, 
 over the signature of "John Bryant, Capt.", commanding "the 
 bearer Ebenezer Flagg sergeant in my company" to arrest a 
 deserter. This document is (1906) in possession of Norman 
 Gershom Flagg [71], ]Moro, Ills., as is also the original Commis- 
 sion of his greatgrandfather Ebenezer Flagg as sergeant in the 
 "Cols. Company of Foot," of the 10th Mass. Regiment; both 
 documents are still partly legible, and a photograph of the Com- 
 mission is printed herewith, slightly reduced in size from the 
 original, and reads as follows:

 Ebenezer Flagg was born in Lancaster, Mass., 7 Apr., 1756, 
 and died in Richmond, Vt., 17 Feb., 1828. Soon after the Revo- 
 lutionary war, he moved from Mass. to Vermont, Rutland Co.; 
 the exact date is unobtainable, but is was previous to 1785. Our 
 only information as to his personal appearance is obtained from 
 the above quoted war record, stating that he was six feet one inch 
 in height and of light complexion. He is supposed to have 
 studied and practiced medicine, even while serving in the army, 
 and is addressed as "Doctor" by his cousin Josiah Flagg, of 
 Lancaster, Mass., in a letter written 25 Apr., 1784. He was 
 "Doer. Ebenezer Flagg", of Clarendon, Rutland Co., Vt. on 21 
 May, 1785. Before 1789 he had removed to Orwell, Vt.; for on 
 29 Jan., 1789, he bought of Eliphalet Smith 46^ acres land for 
 £100. lawful money, situate in Orwell. He purchased 50 Acres 
 more 8 Apr., 1796, from Frederic Owens for £65, in the same 
 locality. 
 
 While living in Orwell, he married Elizabeth Cutting, of 
 
 Shoreham, Vt., b d. 17 May, 1838, at Richmond, Vt. 
 
 About the autum of 1799, he removed to a permanent home in 
 Richmond, Vt., where he purchased a partially improved farm, 
 and spent the remainder of his life, practicing his profession and 
 farming.

 Ebenezer Flaj^K was ' ' a man of strict honesty, who did a great 
 amount of business for other people, even to the neglect of his 
 own. This was the reason, so said one of his sons, he never ac- 
 cumulated more property, and used to be a source of some diffi- 
 culty between him and his wife. She often sai.l he did more 
 business for his neighbors than for himself." (Extract from 
 letter of his grand.son Gershom H. Flagg [18]); also from the 
 same source the following: 
 
 "The old Flagg homestead (at Richmond, Vt.) was partly 
 cleared when Grandfather bought it; the buildings he put on him- 
 self, also the orchard; it is nearly gone (1875), a few trees are 
 bearing yet. The house has been taken down and built over, 
 the barn is still standing, the well is goo.l. The land owned by 
 Grandmother is now owned by an Iri-shman named Clarrk. and 
 the farm has all gone out of our name." 
 
 The old home was six miles from the village of Richmouel, on 
 the Hinesburgh road, and its exact location is still known. 
 "There u.setl to be, on the old road, two large trees that were 
 shade for the old Flagg homestead, and the cellar was there for 
 years; I used to visit the place when I was a youngster." 
 (Letter from Ralph E. Jones [32] a great-grand.^on). Ten nnles 
 from the village, in the OKI Hill Cemetery, onahigh hill conunand- 
 ing a most beautiful view of the Winooski valley, are buried the 
 remains of Ebenezer Flagg and Elizabeth his wife. Issue:

 THE ARTEMAS FLAGG FAMILY, 3. 
 
 [3] ARTEMAS FLAGG^ eldest child of Ebenezer" and 
 Elizabeth (Cutting) FlagK, wa^ born 17 Feb., 1789. at Orwell, Vt., 
 died 14 Aug., 1874, at Richmond. Vt. He m. 6 Sept.. 1817 
 Betsey Squires, b. 29 Jan., 1792. d. 4 Mar., 1866; she was the 
 dau. of Stephen and Bethia (Bishop) Squires. 
 
 Artemas Flagg was a farmer all his life, and held many local 
 offices of trust. In the War of 1812, he was a Sergeant in Capt. 
 Hunt's Co. of Vermont militia; was a member of the \'ermont 
 Legislature in 1836-7. and was twice a member of the Convention 
 for revising the State Constitution. He was a voluminous letter- 
 writer, and many of his interesting letters, written in the 1830's, 
 40's, and 5U's are still extant. 
 
 "There was not a year, during the active part of Father's 
 life, l)Ut what he held othce of some kind, by election or appoint- 
 i^ent,— selectman, as.se.ssor. road-commi.ssioner, .lu-stice of the 
 Peace, and administrator in settling estates. He left an estate 
 of $7000. ; 1 think the same might be said of him as of Grand- 
 father (Ebenezer").— that the great amount of publick busine.ss 
 that he did, for small pay. wius a reason for his never accumulating 
 more property.— this may l)e a good fault." (Extract from 
 letter of Artemas' son Gershom H. Flagg [1^] to Willard C. 
 Flagg [6.5], Moro. Ills., 19 Apr., 1875). 
 
 The five children of Artemas Flagg were all noted singers, 
 especially the eldest son Lucius H. [14]. who "is said by Boston 
 people to be one of the best bass singers in New England." (Ex- 
 tract from letter of 15 Apr., 1849). "Lucius, Gershom, and the 
 girls (Mary and Caroline) are engaged in giving concerts of vocal 
 music. They intend giving concerts at Charlotte and a number 
 of the lake towns this week, and may travel through this state 
 and some part of York State this summer. Azariah is a first-rate 
 tenor singer, and I expect will join them in the fall, if they prosper 
 and like the business. Gershom has taught singing this winter 
 four nights in a week in Hinesburgh and Richmond. They have

 done considerable singing for the temperance cause in this country, 
 but were unable to answer all the calls made on them. ' ' (Letter 
 to Gershom Flagg [5]).

 THE AZARIAH CUTTING FLAGG FAMILY 4. 
 
 [4] AZARIAH CUTTING FLAGG^ second child of Eben- 
 ezer« and Elizabeth (Cutting) Flagg, was born 28 Nov., 1790, at 
 Orwell, Vt., and died 24 Nov., 1873 in New York City. Was 
 married 20 Oct., 1814 to Phoebe Maria Coe, who was born 5 Apr., 
 1798, and died 9 Apr., 1875. 
 
 He was apprenticed, at the age of eleven, to a printer in 
 Burlington, Vt., serving from 1801 to 1806; in 1814 he was editor 
 and proprietor of the Plattsburg (N. Y.) Republican. He served 
 with distinction as a Lieut, and Quartermaster in Capt. Aiken's 
 Co. of Riflemen, attached to the 36th Regt. of N. Y. Militia in 
 the defense of Plattsburg, and was one of seventeen who were 
 presented, by special act of Congress, with silver-mounted rifles 
 for gallant service. 
 
 Azariah C. Flagg was a member of the N. Y. Legislature in 
 1824 and 26; was Sec'y of State from 1826 to 1833; was Stale 
 Comptroller from 1833 to 1839, also from 1842 to 1847. He was 
 Comptroller of the City of New York, 1853-9. Was one of the 
 founders of the "Barnburner" (Freesoil) party, and opposed 
 the U. S. Bank. For the last fourteen years of his life, he was 
 totally blind, and was tenderly cared for by his wife and daughter. 
 
 Extract from letter of 29 Aug., 1868:— "After this irregular 
 apprenticeship of about five years, my father made an arrange- 
 ment with another printing-house for my services at a stipulated 
 price; the payment for all extra work should be my own. I was 
 also encouraged with the promise that with careful usage I might 
 take books from the book-store, to read after my daily task was 
 done. In six weeks I gained time enough to read ' ' Rollins' Ancient 
 History in ten volumes. From the age of 17 to 20, I was very 
 diligent in performing my daily task and improving my mind by 
 reading and in attending the school for three months to perfect 
 my knowledge of arithmetic. I think I had a just appreciation 
 of the valuable teachings of Dr. Franklin, and it was my firm 
 resolve to adhere through life to his maxims of econoni)'."

 THE GERSHOM FLAGG FAMILY No. 5. 
 
 [5] GERSHOM FLAGG^ third child of Ebenezer" and 
 Elizabeth (Cutting) Flagg, was born 26 Nov., 1792, at Orwell, 
 Vt., and died 2 March, 1857, at Moro, Ills. His father, being a 
 physician as well as a farmer, was absent from home much of the 
 time, so the care of the farm fell to the three eldest sons, who 
 were aged 11, 10, and 8, when their father moved from Orwell to 
 Richmond, Vt. Gershom had a scanty schooling a few months 
 in the year, and helped to clear the new farm. He had a talent 
 for mathematics, and later was able to study surveying under 
 John Johnson, of Burlington, Vt.; he made considerable use of 
 this knowledge after moving to Ills., and his compass and chain, 
 also his surveying notes and mathematical tables, are in possession 
 of his grandson, Norman G. Flagg [71], Moro, Ills. 
 
 In the War of 1812, Gershom Flagg was a drummer-boy, and 
 was present at the battle of Plattsburg, N. Y., 11 Sept., 1814. 
 Forty-five years later his widow was granted a Government land- 
 warrant for his services. He was a member of Capt. Hunt's Co., 
 Vermont militia.

 intended journey's end, Springfield. Ohio, on Nov. 8th. 1816, 
 having traveled 898 miles in the forty-six days. Prospected in 
 Ohio that winter, was in Harmony, O., 16 June, 1817, and m 
 Cincinnati Aug. 3rd, 1817, when he wrote his brother Azariah 
 as follows:— "I shall leave in a few days, to go directly to St. 
 Louis, in the territory of Missouri. The greater part of Indiana 
 is owned by the Indians, and I intend to go on the military bounty 
 lands." So he left Cincinnati Oct. 19th, 1817, "on a small flat- 
 boat, with a roof to it," floated to the mouth of the Ohio, put his 
 trunk on board a keel-boat, and walked 174 miles across country 
 to St. Louis, arriving Nov. 18, 1817. He had traveled in all 
 1794 miles, since leaving home, and found St. Louis to be a 
 "town of 3000 inhabitants, half French and half American." 
 While in St. Louis, Gershom Flagg helped to paint the first 
 steam-boat that ever landed at that town. 
 
 In a letter written to his home folk.s on Dec. 7th, 1S17, lie 
 reported that he had "located 264 acres of land in the Illinois 
 territory, 26 miles from this place (St. Loui.s) and about 10 miles 
 from tiie mouth of the Mi.ssouri." Staying in St. Louis one

 Gershom Flagg was married in Madison Co., Ills., 27 Sept., 
 1827 to Mrs. Jane Paddock Richmond, by Hail Mason, J. P. 
 She was born 7 June, 1787, in Woodstock, Vt., and died 11 Dec, 
 1863, at Moro, Ills. She was the eldest dau. of Gains Paddock, 
 b. 2'nov., 1758, in Middleboroush, Mass., d. 11 Aug., 1831 in 
 St. Louis, Mo., who "enlisted 5 Jan., 1776 in Capt. Isaac Wood's 
 Co.;" had resided many years near Moro, Ills., where his grandson 
 Gains Paddock now resides (1906). 
 
 The J. Q. Adams and Jackson campaigns deeply interested 
 Mr. Flagg, and he kept well posted on all public questions. He 
 was strongly opposed to the State Bank pohcy in 1821, and fought 
 the attempt, in 1822 and 24, to introduce slavery into Illinois. 
 In his later years he was a member of the Whig party, and when 
 failing eye-sight forbade his perusal of the newspapers, the 
 political "discussions of the day were read to him. A man of 
 rugged strength of character, his convictions, once formed, were 
 expressed in no uncertain terms. Gershom Flagg [5] is buried 
 in the Flagg lot in the Paddock cemetery, three miles east of Moro, 
 Ills. On his tomb-stone is the simple epitaph, ' ' An honest man 
 is the noblest work of God." Issue:

 THE LUCY DOUGLAS FLAGG-BUELL FAMILY, 9. 
 [91 LUCY DOUGLAS FLAGG; dau. of EbenezeF and 
 Elizal)eth (Cutting) Flagg, was born 27 Dec, ISOO in Richmond, 
 \t d '^5 Nov., 1867, in Jericho, Shelby Co., Ills. She was m. 
 l'> Mar 1823 at Cumberland Head, N. Y., by Mr. Halsey to 
 William Bukll of E.s.sex, Vt.. b. 2 Feb., 1801, d. 20 Nov., 1871. 
 I'hey left Essex in Sept., 1833 for Madison Co., Ills., vaa the lakes 
 aul were three weeks on the journey of 1300 miles; their first 
 liome in Ills, was a one-room lop; cabin without a window, and here 
 the dau. Mary (now Mrs. Rogers) was born. The Buells moved 
 later to Macoupin Co., then to Shelby Co., in the sprmg of 184/, 
 where Mr. Buell entered a section of Government land (paying 
 $1 .25 per acre), and established a store and inn. 
 
 The privations this family endured would be considered in- 
 tolerable to-dav; at one time, all the children being sick, the dau. 
 Susan died, and the mother had to perform the last sad ntes with- 
 out assistance and ])uried the body in an open field. The details 
 of Lucy Flagg Buell's frontier life would make a most interesting 
 ^t,,ry,-the visits to their neighborhood of Peter Cartwright. the 
 prairie fires, the recurrence each autumn of the ague, the over- 
 land trips to the St. Louis market, and the advent of the Ills. 
 Central R. R. near her home. ' ' Mother has become quite a shoe- 
 maker- she has made ten pr. of buckskin shoes, and made the 
 largest' share of four buckskin coats." (Extract from letter of 
 Murilla Buell [210] to Gershom Flagg [5], 10 Jan.. 1849). 
 
 Her Shelby Co. home was a story-and-half double log-cabin, 
 with wide porches the entire length of two sides. The traders 
 and drovers alwavs put up over night at "Jericho", as the Buell 
 homestead was named, midway between Shelbyville and Green- 
 ville, Ills. When work began in 1852 on the railroad-building, 
 many civil engineers and stone-masons boarded at Jericho, among 
 I them one Joseph Strever. who later m. the dau. Melvina [211]. 
 Lucy Flagg Buell raised five sons to manhood, four of whom 
 served in the Union armv through the war. For the last three 
 years of her life, she was partly helpless, her right side being 
 palsied, but was very patient in her suffering. Issue;

 THE ELIZA WAIT FLAGG-BLISS FAMILY, 10. 
 
 [10] ELIZA WAIT FLAGG^ fifth daughter and eighth 
 child of Ebenezer" and Elizabeth (Cuttino;) Flao;o;, was born II 
 Aufiust, 1802 in Hichmond, \'ermont. and died 4 March, 1841 
 in Madi.son Co., Ills. Little i.s known of her childhood except 
 that tjhe wa.s fond of out-of-door life and occupations, and had a 
 considerable likiufz; for books. She seems to have had no school 
 advantafi;es beyond those of the common schools of her day. 
 She was able, however, aided perhaps by her general readino;, to 
 teach a district school in Illinois about 1837 or 38. 
 
 She was married 3 February, 1825 to OR.\.Mr:L Hliss. of Essex, 
 \'erm()nt. They settled on a farm in the town of Jericho, \'er- 
 niont, where the eldest chilil .lames wius born. Within a year or 
 two, however, they were back on the oUl farm on " lili.ss Street," 
 where the husband died 25 May, 1833. In the fall of 1836. the 
 widow and three children moved to Illinois, where they occupied, 
 for a time, a log cabin on her brother Gershom's farm in Madi.son 
 Co. She married as a second husband, in May, 1838, Hem.\n 
 LiscuM, of Vermont, and the augmented family took possession 
 of a small farm near by, which her money had bought. 
 
 After her death, leaving no i.ssue by her second husband, 
 her three children were taken and reared by her brother Gershom 
 Flagg. She was a woman of strong character and of more than 
 ordinary amiability and intelligence. Issue:

 [316] WILLARD FLAGG BLISS«, son of Eliza [10], was 
 born 7 Nov., 1829 on a farm in Essex, ten miles from Burlington, 
 Vermont. In the fall of 1836, he emigrated from Vermont to

Family Records 
 
 Madison Co., Ills., with his mother, sister, and brother, his father 
 haA-ing died in 1833. After the mother's death in 1841, he and 
 his sister were taken by their uncle Gershom Flagg, who with 
 his wife Jane Flagg took them home and reared them as their own. 
 
 In the winter of 1844-5 and for the five following winters, 
 he and his cousin Willard Flagg attended Edward Wyman's 
 school in St. Louis, where they w^ere inmates of the family of 
 James and Persis Smith. In 1850, at the earnest insistence and 
 by the generous aid of William H. Smith of St. Louis, Willard 
 Bliss entered the Phillips Exeter Academy, where he remained 
 two years, the second year covering the studies of the Freshman 
 year at Harvard. While at Exeter, he was domesticated in the 
 family of Mrs. Elizabeth Hale Smith of Lee, the gifted widow of 
 Judge Jeremiah Smith of the Peterboro family of that name, 
 mother of the present Story Professor of Law at Harvard. W. 
 F. B. and this son were room-mates, first at Exeter, then at Har- 
 vard, where he was graduated in 1855. 
 
 After graduation, he taught a year in the family of Edgar 
 Huidekoper in Meadville, Penna., three years in the then recently 
 founded Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., and two years 
 in the State University of Illinois at Urbana. In 1858-9 he spent 
 some time abroad, studying in the Universities of Gottingen and 
 Bonn, and in traveling, at a very interesting time, in the south 
 of Europe, mostly in Greece and Italy. He had the interesting, 
 if not altogether agreeable, experience of being "taken up" in 
 Argos as a dangerous character, while traveling with his Norwe- 
 gian friend Karl Boe; and a month or two later, arriving in 
 Florence, Italy on the day that Grand Duke Leopold was driven 
 out, he was arrested as an Austrian spy with his American friend 
 George Little, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., afterwards State Geologist 
 of Georgia. 
 
 He was in Italy in 1859 during the short struggle in which 
 ^lagenta and Solferino were fought, and the northern provinces 
 wrested from Austria in the process of making possible a united 
 Italy. He was at different times within both the Austrian and 
 French lines, and also saw something of the Italian army; and in 
 August, 1859 he saw the triumphal entry of Napoleon's "Army 
 of Italy" into Paris.

Family Records 
 
 Since 1860, he has been en{>;ao;ed continuously in farmino;, 
 includintf even the time of his two years' service at the State 
 University in 1S69 and 70. He was married 14 Auf^ust, 1860 to 
 Elizabeth Tyler of Essex, ^'ermont, and on January 1, 1906 he 
 met the great calamity of his life in the loss of her, after forty- 
 five helpful and lovely years of married life. Before her death, 
 for considerations of health and other reasons, the family de- 
 termined on makin<!; a new home near Richmond, Viriginia, 
 whither the endurinp; memory of the wife, mother, and grand- 
 mother has been carried and where it is enshrined, though she 
 lierself was not permitted to see the new home which her active 
 love and sympathy bore so large a part in securing.

 THE WILLARD PARKER FLAGG FAMILY, 12. 
 
 [12] WILLARD PARKER FLAGG^ tenth child and fourth 
 son of Ebenezer^ and Elizabeth (Cutting) Flagg, was born 8 June, 
 1808 in Richmond, Vt., and died 10 August, 1877 in Rochelle, 
 Ills. Was m. (1st) to Mrs. Lucy Cochran Lake, 28 July, 1839; 
 she was b. 19 May, 1812, and d. 25 May, 1855. He m. (2nd) 
 Mrs. Maria Sitterly, 5 Feb., 1857, who res. 1906 in Rochelle, Ills. 
 
 Willard P. Flagg came to the "Prairie State" in 1830, and 
 in 1838 became one of the two original pioneers, at a point in 
 Ogle Co., where the town of Rochelle was soon after located. 
 From the first he took a prominent part in the affairs of the little 
 town, where he continued to reside until his death. He was often 
 the arbiter between disputants, who were thus saved many a 
 lawyer's fee. As the nation approached the crisis which culmin- 
 ated in the Civil w^ar, he became an ardent abolitionist, being an 
 agent in the "Underground Railroad", in which capacity he is 
 known to have assisted at least one slave in escaping from the 
 land of bondage. 
 
 He possessed a magnificent baritone voice, and during those 
 strenuous war days he was called upon from far and near, to sing 
 the songs of hope and trust in our Union. He was a great lover 
 of books. His children tenderly recall the group about the ample 
 fire-place, the father reading aloud from "Uncle Tom's Cabin," — 
 the first copy to be brought to the village. 
 
 During his later years successive attacks of paralysis grad- 
 ually sapped his strength and he lived a very retired life, but con- 
 tinued to be loved and is still remembered for his unassailable 
 integrity, his warm sympathies, and as a champion of the poor and 
 of the oppressed. Issue (all by first marriage):

 years Was at Moro, Ills., with his cousin Willard C. Flagg 
 several years, and under his supervision he prepared for college, 
 afterwards gradual ing from the State University of Illinois in Cham- 
 paign. Was admitted to the bar and practiced law in Dakota. 
 Editorial work, however, proved more congenial to him, and the 
 last years of his life were devoted to the ' ' Duluth News Tribune, ' ' 
 where he occupied the editorial chair. He died 1 Nov., 1904 in 
 Duluth, Minn. 
 
 He became mentally unbalanced as the result of a severe 
 illness, and, plunging into the lake under the hallucination that 
 he was pursued, was drowned. 
 
 His was a most charming personality; for, united to a superb 
 intellect, was a kindliness of which his love for little children and 
 his inability to pass harsh judgment even upon those who had 
 bitterly wronged him, were the outward signs. One who loved 
 him says: "The light of a noble mind went out when his reason 
 was obscured, for it w^as admitted by the few who were privileged 
 to know him well, and by the many who read his splendid 
 editorials, that his mental gifts were phenomenal. His memory

 GERSHOM FLAGG, SON OF GERSHOM FLAGG 
 
 OF LANCASTER, MASS., AND 
 
 HIS DESCENDANTS 
 
 1758—1906 
 
 [601] GERSHOM FLAGG«,( 2nd), son of Gershom [1], b. 
 11 Apr., 1758, in Lancaster, Mass. Served inthe Revolutionar}'^ 
 War as Matross, Col. John Crane's Third Artillery Regt. Continen- 
 tal Troops. Records in the archives of jNIassachusetts give his 
 service as follows: 
 
 (From Vol. V, page 751, Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the 
 Revolutionary War, published by the Secretary of the Common- 
 wealth, Boston). 
 
 "GERSHOM FLAGG, (also given Jr.), Lancaster. Return 
 of men raised to serve in the Continental Army from Capt. John 
 White, Jr's. Co., 2nd Worcester Co. Regt., dated Lancaster, Dec. 
 20, 1777; residence, Lancaster; engaged for town of Lancaster; 
 joined Capt. Briant's co., Col. Grain's Regt., term 3 j^ears; also, 
 list of men mustered by Nathaniel Barber, ]\Iuster Master for 
 Suffolk Co., dated Boston, March 30, 1777; Col. Crane's Regt.; 
 also, Matross, Capt. Bryant's Co., Col. Mason's Regt.; Continental 
 Army pay accounts for service from March 8, 1777, to Dec. 31, 
 1779; also, Capt. Benjamin Frothingham's co.. Col. John Crane's 
 (Artillery) Regt.; muster roll dated Springfield, Nov. 1, 1779; 
 company stationed at Springfield; also, Capt. Bryant's co.; Con- 
 tinental Army pay accounts for service from Jan. 1, 1780, to 
 March 16, 1780." 
 
 From the office of the Military Secretary, War Dept., Wash- 
 ington, D. C, is obtained the following record: 
 
 "GERSHOM FLAGG served as a matross in Capt. Benjamin 
 Frothingham's Company, 3d Artillery Regiment, commanded by 
 Colonel John Crane, Revolutionary War. His name appears on 
 
 96 
 
Family Records 
 
 the company muster roll dated at Sprinfj;field. May 2, 1778, with 
 remark sliowinf? that he enlisted March 8. 1777, to serve three 
 
 years." 
 
 Some Continental money of his hard earning in the Revolu- 
 tion was kept for many years by his son James. It is probable 
 that he spent his entire youth in Lancaster, until he enlisted in 
 
 the army. 
 
 In 1789, he removed, with hi^s family, from Mass. to Marietta, 
 Ohio, joining the colony founded there a few months previously 
 by Gen. Rufus Putnam and others from New England, this being 
 the first permanent settlement in the Northwest Territory. 
 
 He .saw active service in the Indian War in 1791 and 1792, 
 during which he and his family resided in the fort. The exposure 
 and hardships he endured brought on an attack of paralysis, or 
 "numb palsy," from which he died in 1792. and he was buried 
 near the fort in Marietta. 
 
 The remains of Gen. Tupper and of a few others, were re- 
 moved, many years ago, from their first resting j)lace near the 
 fort and {)lacod in the Mound Cemetry (first u.sed for the purpose 
 of burial in 1801), and it is probable that the remains of Gershom 
 Flagg were among them. 
 
 He m. 2o .lune. 1778 (intentions filed 16 May, 1778), in 
 Springfield, Mass., Editha Hitchcock*, b. 1754, dau. of Samuel

 Hitchcock (of New Haven, 1644; d. 1 Nov., 1659. at Weathers- 
 field), and of Deacon Samuel Chapin (of Roxbury, 1638; Spring-

 1779, in Springfield, Mass. Served in the War of 1812 as Captain 
 of the 5th Co., 1st Rest.. 1st Brig. ^Col. Samuel R. Holcomb, 
 commandino;) , Ohio Militia, U. S. Service; was in camp at Burns 
 Block House, near Mansfield, O., 30 Nov., 1812, his regiment 
 taking part in Gen. William Henr}- Harrison's operations against 
 the British and Indians in Ohio and Indiana. He was commis- 
 sioned a Captain in the Ohio Militia in 1805, and authorized to 
 raise a company, as follows: 
 
 "Marietta, Feb. 20th., 1805. 
 
 *To James Flagg. 
 
 You are hereby authorized to raise by voluntary enrollment, 
 young men from the age of sixteen years to forty years to be 
 formed into a Company of Light Infantry and to be attached to 
 the first Batallion in the Second Regiment of the First Brigade 
 and Third Division of Militia, State of Ohio. 
 
 [Signed] Ichabod Nye, Lieut. Col., Comt." 
 
 In Aug., 1810, he was Captain of a company in the 1st Regt. 
 (Jesse Davis, Col., Chas. Shipman, Adjt.), 1st Brig., 3rd Div., 
 Ohio Militia. He removed, with his parents, from Massachusetts 
 to Marietta, 0., in 1789, where, though still a boy, he stood 
 sentry during the Indian War of 1791-1795. 
 
 After his father's death, Col. Meigs, a famous Revolutionary 
 officer, became his guardian as is shown by the following entry 
 in the Washington Co., 0., Probate Records: 
 
 "Apr. 6, 1793, appointed Return Jonathan Meigs, Esq., 
 Guardian to James Flagg as minor at the request of Edit ha Flagg 
 his mother. The Guardian with Gilbert Devol junior gave bond 
 in the sum of three hundred dollars." 
 
 In the Washington Co., O., Records is an old deed, showing 
 what was probably his first real estate holding, indexed as follows: 
 
 "Rufus Putnam, &c., Deed to James Flagg.— Rufus Put- 
 nam, Menasseh Cutler, Griffin Green & Robert Oliver, conveyed 
 to James Flagg of Marietta, Co. of Wash. & Territory of the U. S. 
 
 ♦This paper, several regimental orders and a number of letters written by Capt. Flagg 
 while in the service during the War of 1812, are now in possession of his grandson, Lucms 
 C.S. Flagg [820].

 ORTHOGRAPHY of the FAMILY NAME, FLEGG-FLAGG. 
 
 The family name, as found in the English records and as 
 spelled by the earlier members of the family in America, was 
 FLEGG, and such was the spelling used as far back as the twelfth 
 century.' (See Chapter I). FLEGGE was another mode of 
 spelling, used often in the English records, and we even find 
 FLEG, FLEGE, FLEGH, FLEGHT, FLEGGH, and FLIGHT 
 to have been made use of, as the family name. But FLAGG we 
 never find until about 1700, when our ancestors in New England 
 seem, by common consent, to have abandoned the less euphoni- 
 ous FLEGG. 
 
 Concerning this change of spelling. Dr. Bond, in his History 
 of Watertown, Mass., says: "This orthography (FLAGG) of 
 the name has been adopted in the text, because it has become 
 the prevalent, almost the universal, usage, for the last few gene- 
 rations. There is, however, very little doubt but that it is er- 
 roneous, and that the correct orthography is FLEGG. In the 
 early records of the town (Watertown) and of the county, for 
 eighty years or more, the name is, almost without exception, 
 written FLEGG, with some variations, always retaining the E." 
 In "A Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New 
 
 134 
 
Family Records 
 
 England," published 1860 by James Savage, Vol. II, p. 171, is 
 found the following: 
 
 "THOMAS FLEGG (FLAGG)— In the records of Water- 
 town the name is spelled FLEG or FLEGG, in conformity, — as 
 in our English patronymics is so usual — with its geographical 
 derivation, but, in general, at other places, conforming to the 
 sound. 
 
 There exists a German family name, FLAGGE, which may 
 easily be confused with our own family name, especially if, by a 
 process of being Americanized, its final syllable is incorrectly 
 silent in pronunciation. 
 
 Members of the FLEGG family, still using the ancient and 
 correct orthography, are William ^Martin FLEGG, and his son 
 James Minter FLEGG, of London, England. 
 
 "FLP]GG is an old English surname, the family having its 
 origin, tradition says, in one RAWL FLEGG, a Norse viking who 
 ravaged the eastern coast and made settlement in Norfolk about 
 868. There was the seat of the family and there are located (1905) 
 FLEGG Hull and the hundreds of East and West FLEGG, old 
 civil divisions of the county." (Extract from article in Vermont 
 Antiquarian, March, 1905, by Chas. Allcott Flagg, of Washington, 
 D. C, furnished through courtesy of John Henry Flagg of New 
 York City and of Dr. John S. Flagg of Combridge, Mass).
