Surnames: Flinn/Flynn/Graves/Puryear Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4dW.2ACEB/1406.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Charles "British Crown Colony" was from memory and I think was based on this abstract: "15 February 1739 LAUGHLAND FLYN in order to prove his right to take up land according to the Royal Charter made oath that he came into this colony to dwell from Ireland in the year 1718 and that this is the first time of his proving his importation. Where upon certificate is granted him to take up fifty acres of land Court Order Book 1, Amelia County, VA 1735-1746, page 92". If I find another reference to this I will post it. I decend thru Laughlin's son John. Irvin
